Bunzl Canada Invests in Digital Services and Sustainability Tools

Bunzl Canada has announced significant investments in its digital services and sustainability initiatives, aiming to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency.

During the first quarter of the year, the company unveiled new websites dedicated to cleaning and hygiene products, as well as safety supplies. These online platforms are designed to serve as comprehensive resources for product sourcing, information, and value-added content. Complementing these, Bunzl Canada has also upgraded its e-commerce platforms to provide an improved purchasing experience, streamline processes, and offer greater visibility into procurement and budget management.

Further investment has been directed towards the Internet of Things (IoT). Advanced features have been added to the company's proprietary wandaNEXT™ digital cleaning management system. These enhancements include compliance reporting for cleaning programs, touchless feedback mechanisms for facility users, and occupancy sensing. Recently, the system was integrated with Tork's smart dispensing units, enabling real-time data collection for predictive servicing.

These developments are part of the ConfidentClean® ecosystem, which aims to optimize labor and consumable usage, improve quality and efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure healthy, compliant facilities. Bunzl Canada has also developed new digital tools to assist customers in identifying problematic packaging materials and sourcing more sustainable alternatives.

Bunzl Canada reiterates that sustainability remains a high priority despite the challenges posed by the pandemic. Further details on these sustainability initiatives are expected in the upcoming quarter. The company encourages its partners and customers to maintain safety protocols to manage the ongoing pandemic.
