GreenValet, the leading supplier of stock distribution systems used in the cleaning of UK hospitals, today announced new additions to its Clematis Stores Manager. The range now includes Clematis Stock Recorder, a powerful stores management program which records and analyses stock issues, Clematis Stock Tracker which manages the efficiency of stores operations and Clematis Stock Controller which provides accurate, live, cost per bed figures for cleaning operations.

The use of stock tracking and control systems in hospital cleaning operations is increasing rapidly. Benefits include full control over the use of consumables such as soaps, towels and hand washing gels, the ability pin-point problem areas, allocate resources more efficiently and deliver better cleaning and hygiene standards and services. Clematis replaces subjective assessments of ward cleanliness with objective measurement of precisely what has been used by both ward and domestic staff.

Clematis Stores Manager can additionally offer live cleaning cost analysis including costs per bed and per square foot for benchmarking comparison and to regulate contracts with independent suppliers. Clematis is currently in use in over 5,000 wards and departments throughout the UK.
