We Do Not Just Use Technology. We Build It.

No other commercial cleaning company in the South of England has created its own software platform and its own IoT sensor platform. Shiftomate was built because no existing tool gave clients genuine accountability. Proximetrix was built because no sensor system understood the specific demands of cleaning and facilities management. Both are live in client buildings today.

Shiftomate: our own software, built in Portsmouth
Proximetrix: our own IoT platform, live at Lakeside North Harbour
Cobots: autonomous units deployed in real commercial buildings
4D Cleaning: the framework that connects all three

Four technologies. One integrated approach.

Our own software

Shiftomate

Field management software we built ourselves. Not a rebadged third-party system.

  • Every shift geo-tagged on arrival and departure
  • Every task logged in real time, area by area
  • Client dashboard: 24-hour access to task logs, H&S docs, CoSHH records
  • Monthly performance report generated automatically
  • 22,500 shifts logged in 2025
<34 min Average response time to raised issues
Our own platform

Proximetrix

Our IoT software platform. Integrates with wireless sensors. Delivers real-time building intelligence.

  • Washroom and space occupancy: usage frequency and peak times
  • CO₂ and air quality in meeting rooms
  • Motion detection and presence patterns
  • Desk occupancy for hybrid working environments
  • Water leak and consumables alerts
45 min Labour saved per day at Lakeside North Harbour
Deployed in real buildings

Cobots & Robotics

Autonomous cleaning robots deployed in commercial buildings across the South of England.

  • High-footfall corridor vacuuming and scrubbing
  • Autonomous operation during cleaning sessions
  • Every session logged via Shiftomate
  • Saving passed directly to the client, not retained
  • No team member's pay reduced
~10% Labour cost saving passed to clients
A framework, not a product

4D Cleaning Approach

Most buildings are only cleaned in one of four dimensions. Eco Drift addresses all four, every time.

  • Dimension 1: Physical - the visible clean
  • Dimension 2: Hygienic - the biological layer
  • Dimension 3: Environmental - CO₂ and air quality
  • Dimension 4: Verified - data and full accountability

We do not adopt technology. We build it.

Every other commercial cleaning company in the South of England uses technology that was built by someone else, for someone else. They rebadge it, resell access to it, and call it their own. When it does not meet the needs of their clients, they have no option to change it.

Shiftomate and Proximetrix were built in Portsmouth specifically for the demands of commercial cleaning contracts. When a requirement changed, we updated the platform. When clients asked for a specific report format, we built it. When cobotic sessions needed to be logged alongside human shifts, Shiftomate already handled it.

This is not a feature list. It is the difference between a company that operates with technology and a company that operates as a technology business.
