Sodexo Remote Sites teams up with Planon to boost client value

Brighton, July 12, 2010 – To enhance the quality and reactivity of its remote-site business operations, Sodexo has joined forces with Planon, a leading provider of Integrated Workplace Management Solutions.

As a world leader in Quality of Daily Life Solutions, Sodexo helps organizations work smarter and more productively while taking care of their people. The group’s services generate value for 1,260 remote sites worldwide, including offshore drilling rigs, mining camps and many others. “Both Sodexo and Planon are focused on enhancing business and client value by offering reliable and efficient solutions. Given our common mission, the partnership with Sodexo is a natural fit,” said Pierre Guelen, Founder and CEO, Planon Group.

Because of the nature and complexity of its global activities, Sodexo needed to implement a new state-of-the-art maintenance management system that was comprehensive enough to manage its business on a global scale. Sodexo sought a partner with the experience and know-how to make the roll out a success and Planon was the ideal choice.

After a thorough review of Sodexo’s systems, the decision was made to employ Planon’s innovative Maintenance Management Solution, offering Sodexo improved control, excellent communication and higher quality reporting at its clients’ sites. The solution supports everything from stock and maintenance management to work-order control and helpdesk service. Moreover, depending on the need, Planon’s solution can be extended to encompass energy control, fleet management and security. The possibilities are virtually endless.

But the biggest winners are Sodexo’s clients. In addition to boosting efficiency, Sodexo has been able to customize the system to map out all the best practices acquired over the past decades. Soon, any team, anywhere in the world, will be able to access all the expertise and support it provides.

“We have a clear strategy to differentiate ourselves from the competition,” explains Pascal Milland, Vice President Facilities Management Services for Sodexo. “Planon enables us to bring innovation to our processes while delivering greater performance and reactivity to our clients and, ultimately, the best value for their money.”
