Reporting and business intelligence, attendance, health and safety and quality management, as well as a host of other functions, are combined into an easy-to- use app replacing outdated paperwork systems. The app reduces management costs and provides the necessary proof that services have been delivered to the required standards. Working closely with its supply chain, Sasse has launched a range of products and services to support its customers on their journey to a cleaner, safer future. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sasse developed the 4-level Hygiene Service. Sasse Group is a family-run organisation whose values and personal approach have secured its place as a valued facilities services partner since 1976. The company’s operational resilience and appetite for innovation and continuous improvement differentiate it from its competitors and have secured its place as a market leader. Business Development & Project Coordinator, Zara Van-Der-Zyden tells us more. Sasse Group started life as a building services cleaning company. That was 45 years ago. Soon after establishing the successful business model the company began adding services to its portfolio. Technical and commercial facilities management became staple services. And later transport and aviation services followed. Today, Sasse operates across Europe and has three distinct divisions: Facilities, Transport and Aviation. The company currently employs over 7,000 staff and services 1,500 customers. Despite the growth of the company, the senior management team pride themselves on being contactable and involved in the daily operations of the business. At Sasse, ‘family business’ doesn’t refer solely to the management of the company, it also refers to the way in which the business is run: “By creating an infrastructure that allows flexible working, family and work can coexist in perfect harmony.” A one-stop shop for all your facilities needs, the company provides a holistic approach to its service offers. Sasse coordinates and tailors its services to the customer’s individual requirements. Transparent processes, consistently high quality and safety standards and an open-door communications policy facilitate long-standing partnerships with customers. So much more than a cleaning service, Sasse aims to provide every customer with a value- packed service experience that focuses on quality and delivers satisfaction. Sasse’ vision is to maintain its reputation as a professional and consistent partner and to continue Best Family-Owned Facilities Services Provider - South East to build on the services it offers by means of innovation and digitalisation. Zara tells us: “The ambition for Sasse is to be at the forefront of new innovations and technological advances that benefit both the customer and our organisation. We are always looking for new, or more effective solutions to everyday challenges. Now more than ever, sustainability is at the forefront of many corporations’ agendas, and it is our intention to consistently drive this forward. As the industry develops and takes into account the seismic shift in the culture of cleaning and hygiene services, we recognise the need to achieve more, often with fewer resources than were previously available.” To that end, Sasse has made major investments in technology.
