The Onvation™ Compass application is designed to work with all Onvation™ facilities equipped with the Hub cellular gateway. Its task prioritization feature intelligently routes housekeeping staff to restrooms that are low in product or in need of maintenance, therefore eliminating problems before they become complaints. With the Compass app, each porter has an individual user profile that shows their assigned housekeeping tasks within designated areas of the facility. In-app instructional resources, tips and performance feedback also provide positive reinforcement and the recognition they deserve for good work.
