Smart restrooms aren’t about shiny gadgets: They’re about decisions that move labor where it matters and keep dispensers full without guesswork.

From QR codes to people counters and connected dispensers, we map the tech to the workflow: Alerts route to tasks, tasks change frequencies, and frequencies prove ROI with numbers your CFO respects.
