Veritiv Implements Tennant T16AMR Robotic Scrubbers

This case study details Veritiv's implementation of Tennant's T16AMR robotic scrubbers across 23 facilities to enhance cleaning efficiency. Veritiv, a distributor of facility solutions, initiated an equipment refresh in 2021, starting with six T16AMRs. The decision was driven by challenges such as rising labor costs, productivity issues, and aging technologies. A return on investment analysis conducted by Ryan Cote, a Product Specialist at Veritiv, highlighted the benefits of automating cleaning processes. The T16AMR was chosen for its effectiveness in managing large spaces with fewer units, thereby improving safety and cost-efficiency. Since the initial deployment, the robotic scrubbers have cleaned over 470 million square feet, leading to positive employee feedback regarding cleanliness and increased focus on customer service. Veritiv's partnership with Tennant has proven successful, as the company now recommends autonomous cleaning solutions to its customers, reflecting a shared commitment to innovation and operational excellence.
