Stockholm Corporate Office Pilot Demonstrates 58% Cost Reduction

A major Swedish corporation has completed a successful six-month pilot deployment of Aros Clean Pro autonomous cleaning robots at its Stockholm headquarters, documenting significant operational improvements and cost reductions.

The pilot, which ran from March through August 2024, deployed three Aros Clean Pro units to autonomously clean 12,000 square meters of office space, including open work areas, corridors, meeting rooms and common areas.

Pilot program results: - 58% reduction in floor cleaning costs compared to traditional manual cleaning - 94% employee satisfaction with cleanliness (up from 81% baseline) - 97.8% robot uptime throughout the six-month period - Zero safety incidents or operational disruptions - 8.2-month ROI based on measured labor cost savings

"We approached this pilot with healthy skepticism—autonomous cleaning sounded promising but we needed to see real-world results in our environment," said Anna Bergström, Operations Director at the corporation. "The data speaks for itself. We achieved significant cost savings while actually improving employee satisfaction with office cleanliness."

Key success factors identified in the pilot: - Robots operated during overnight hours, eliminating daytime cleaning disruption - Consistent cleaning quality compared to variable manual cleaning performance - Detailed cleaning logs provided documentation for facility management reporting - Minimal staff training required—facility team became comfortable with robot operations within two weeks

Following the successful pilot, the corporation has approved permanent deployment and expansion to additional office facilities in Gothenburg and Malmö, scheduled for Q4 2024 and Q1 2025.

The case study has generated interest from other large Swedish corporations evaluating autonomous cleaning technology for their corporate real estate portfolios.
