While laundry services may operate behind the scenes in hotels, their impact on the guest experience remains undeniable. From fresh linens in guest rooms to clean towels at the pool or spa, efficient laundry operations play a vital role in meeting guests’ expectations for comfort and cleanliness. However, ensuring that fresh, clean linens and towels are available 24/7 is no small task, it requires careful coordination, reliable equipment, and skilled management.

 

As hotels face growing pressure to operate more efficiently and sustainably, many businesses are turning to smart solutions such as Miele MOVE, a platform designed to streamline commercial laundry operations and meet these demands.

 

Upholding flexibility and efficiency

Traditional laundry systems may struggle to keep up with the high turnover and unpredictable schedules often found within hospitality. This means hotels increasingly require adaptable solutions that allow them to manage fluctuating demand while providing greater flexibility.

 

Miele MOVE offers real-time visibility into machine status and availability, giving hotel staff crucial insight into which machines are available and which might need maintenance. By providing updates on machine performance and potential maintenance needs, Miele MOVE enables hotels to minimise downtime, keep laundry flowing smoothly, and reduce unexpected repair costs.

Reducing downtime and maintaining high standards

For hotels, any disruption in the laundry room can result in larger issues, affecting housekeeping schedules, guest satisfaction, and even other departments such as catering and leisure services. Miele MOVE, which detects machine faults early and automatically alerts staff, helps prevent costly delays. This minimises the time machines are out of service, while the platform’s connection to Miele’s network of service partners ensures that technicians have the data they need to resolve issues promptly. This streamlined approach helps hotels maintain a high standard of service, as fresh linens and towels remain consistently available for guests.

 

Ensuring top hygiene standards

In the aftermath of the pandemic, hygiene has become a top priority for hotels, especially when it comes to laundry. Miele MOVE supports infection prevention and control by capturing and storing process data from each wash cycle, allowing hotels to verify that hygiene protocols are met consistently. This data helps hotels ensure that each load is completed according to required standards, providing a clear record of compliance and peace of mind for staff and guests alike.

Supporting sustainability goals

With increasing attention on environmental responsibility, especially in hospitality as guests seek more sustainable travel options and governments introduce stricter regulations; many hotels are now looking to reduce their ecological footprint.

 

Thanks to its smart technology, Miele MOVE contributes to sustainability by optimising machine use, reducing waste, and conserving energy and water. By providing insights into resource usage and efficiency, Miele MOVE enables hotels to make informed decisions that help reduce environmental impact while also reducing overhead costs.

 

Providing future-ready laundry operations

Looking forward, digital solutions are likely to play an even larger role as hotels adapt to a rapidly evolving industry. Miele MOVE enhances reporting capabilities, empowers staff with real-time updates, and allows hotel teams to retain complete control over laundry operations. As the industry embraces smarter tools, hotels will be able to operate laundry services more efficiently, benefiting both staff and guests while setting a new standard for service quality.
