Whether you’re a small business with one washing machine, or a full commercial laundry service, having your machines serviced regularly is critical in keeping them performing at their best and extending their life, ultimately increasing the return on your investment.
Ever heard of the phrase a stitch in time saves nine? In addition to performing routine maintenance tasks that optimise machine performance and minimise wear, each service is an opportunity to identify any wear on parts early on before they have the chance to develop further and damage the machine. It allows the service tech to make any necessary minor adjustments, reducing your risk of having a machine out of action and saving your business money on costly repairs later down the track. This becomes more and more applicable as your machine ages, with 50 % of maintenance personnel reporting ‘aging equipment’ as the number one reason for unplanned downtimes.
The Top 5 Ways Preventative Maintenance Increases your ROI:
- Reduced labour costs – scheduled daytime appointments will be more economical than an urgent callout (possibly out of business hours) to repair a full breakdown, or having to wait days until a service technician is available. Not to mention the increased labour required for a repair compared to a maintenance service.
- Parts can be ordered in advance – saving you time and costs on additional technician visits and express order for parts.
- Avoid machine downtime – Keep your business operating and your staff working by minimising the possibility of your machine being out of action.
- Keep your brand and business reputation in tact – Not being able to deliver on your laundry service can lead to disappointed customers, particularly in B2C markets.
- Your equipment will last longer – As with any machine that has been looked after well, regular servicing will ensure you get the best return out of your investment.
