Bunzl Canada's Intelligent Restroom System Captures Global Interest


Demand for exclusive IoT solution grows in Canada, Europe and Australia

BURLINGTON, ON, Sept. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Bunzl Canada (bunzlcanada.ca) announced today its IoT-based restroom monitoring system, WandaNEXTtm is about to be installed in another Canadian airport and several shopping malls, adding to its growing presence in healthcare, retail, commercial and conference facilities across the country.  

"First-to-market innovations that help to maximize operational efficiencies and deliver an improved customer experience are one of the key reasons that our customers choose Bunzl as a strategic supply partner," said John Howlett, President, Bunzl Canada.

The WandaNEXTtm IoT restroom monitoring system is powered by Visionstate Inc. (TSX Venture: VIS), and is exclusively available through Bunzl Canada. The system uses a touchscreen interface and connected devices to enable customers in retail, healthcare, airports, conference centres and commercial environments to have a predictable, high-quality restroom service experience. It also enables facility maintenance teams to better manage resources and improve efficiency.

Interest in the technology is growing rapidly in Canada, and a bilingual version was recently released for final in-market testing in Quebec. The product's installation base continues to grow in the United States, and it was met with enthusiastic customer response in the U.K. earlier this year. This month, WandaNEXTtm was launched in Australia by Bunzl Outsourcing Services and interest in piloting the product has been expressed by several customers.

"WandaNEXTtm is an easy-to-use technology that helps to improve customer experience, optimize labour and supply management and reduce costs," said Margo Hunnisett, Bunzl Canada's Vice President, Marketing & Communications. "We anticipate continually increasing demand for this product as new enhancements (most recently, cellular connectivity and bilingual user interfaces) are introduced in response to, and anticipation of, our customers' needs as they evolve."

WandaNEXTtm will be showcased at BOMEX, Canada's commercial building excellence summit in Calgary, AB October 1-3, 2018.
