The benefits of Fides in hotel textile operations
The value of a system is only determined by the advantages it offers
Stock optimization
Linen and Laundry costs are among the largest operational expenses in hospitality. However, they remain one of the least managed areas. Implementation of Fides allows you to unlock the full potential of stock management.
Data-driven analysis brings precision to your stock levels and availability, providing valuable management information to eliminate guesswork and inefficiencies.
Further functionality includes real time calculation of linen requirement, predictive notification of future shortfalls by product type, and associated determination of reorder timing and volumes.
Itemized analysis of product durability allows for changes in product specifications to achieve the desired lifetime of each product line.
Fides optimizes stock levels, decreases linen and laundry costs, and improves overall operational efficiency.

Housekeeping productivity
The continued trend of labour shortages is reshaping hospitality. Consequently, optimizing housekeeping productivity has never been more critical.
Through advanced RFID tracking, Fides provides exact information on volume and location of stock in your hotel. Scanning of inventory becomes an easier task, with a full stock take, on average, taking around 20 minutes.
Fides also provides detailed volume and article information on items shipped to and received from the laundry. Having the right stock available at the right time and place can deliver savings of up to 7% of housekeeping costs.
A reduction in time spent on linen tasks improves housekeeping efficiency, creates job satisfaction and eases labour challenges.
Concentrate on delivering exceptional guest experiences instead of dealing with daily housekeeping issues.

Laundry control
Effective laundry management is essential to maintain quality, cost efficiency, and trust between hotels and laundries.
Fides gives you full visibility of laundry performance. This includes, but is not limited to, tracking rejection rates and linen turnaround times by product, as well as reporting on damaged and lost items.
Reconciliation of invoices is easier when you have precise details of laundry deliveries, ensuring accurate cost control.
Transparency of the relationship between hotel and laundry produces accountability, strengthens partnerships and avoids adversarial conflicts by delivering accurate data.

Sustainability
Taking responsibility for sustainability is no longer optional; the Hospitality industry has made it an essential requirement.
Fides supports hotels in reducing their environmental impact by optimizing stock levels and tracking the lifespan of textiles. Understanding what stock levels are needed in circulation reduces the need for excessive reordering.
The environment benefits from a lower production of textiles, given that it takes 10,000 litres of water to manufacture just one bed sheet. Fewer miles travelled to pick up and deliver smaller volumes reduce emissions.
Lowering the carbon footprint of your hotel is an important factor in the drive of the industry to meet social responsibility and ‘Green’ targets. These are important objectives as, increasingly, guests consider sustainability one of the most essential attributes in their choice of hotel.
Starting in 2027, the European Union will require a digital product passport (DPP) on certain items, including textiles. The DPP is a digital record that contains key information about a product’s lifecycle, including its origin, materials, sustainability, durability, and repair and recycling guidance.
The requirement on the information available per item will increase over the following 4 years. RFID is one of the technologies that the EU recommends to meet the requirement.
