As APFM-Systems celebrates the 5th anniversary of its AHD Cleaning solution, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the pivotal role this system has played in transforming cleaning operations within property and facility management.
In today’s fast-paced world, cleanliness and hygiene have become integral aspects of property management. It’s not merely a matter of keeping up appearances or ensuring a sanitary environment for employees and visitors. Maintaining cleanliness also plays a crucial role in preserving the long-term value of a property and securing its sustainability. However, overseeing cleaning operations, particularly in large facilities, can often be a complex and challenging task. With multiple areas requiring continuous supervision and coordination, effective management becomes paramount.
Here, the APFM-Systems AHD system, featuring the innovative checkpoint module, provides a cutting-edge solution that elevates cleaning management to new heights by offering real-time oversight and control.

The Role of Digitalisation in Cleaning
The rise of digitalisation has brought about significant transformations across various sectors, and property management is no exception. The AHD system checkpoint module, which has been successfully operating for the past five years, offers a streamlined and efficient approach to managing cleaning operations. With real-time updates on the status of cleaning tasks, this solution makes use of NFC (Near Field Communication) and QR code technology.
This allows cleaning staff to track and document their activities at different locations through mobile devices, while managers can monitor progress in real time, ensuring a seamless flow of operations.

How Does the Checkpoint Module Work?
The beauty of the AHD system’s checkpoint module lies in its simplicity. It does not require complicated installation and can be accessed from any browser, be it on a PC or mobile device. Checkpoints, which mark specific areas designated for cleaning, are equipped with either an NFC tag or a QR code. Cleaning personnel simply scan these checkpoints using their mobile devices, granting them immediate access to the list of tasks that need to be completed at that location. The system also enables real-time recording of their work, ensuring that all tasks are monitored and updated as they happen.
To ensure seamless data transmission, the system requires a continuous internet connection on mobile devices. APFM-Systems enhances its offering by including Samsung smartphones pre-configured for immediate use with the AHD system, ensuring that real-time data transfer and monitoring function without interruption. This means that any delays or missed tasks are immediately reported to management, allowing for swift corrective action.
Optimising Cleaning Operations with the Checkpoint Module
Traditional cleaning systems often rely on manual tracking and reporting, which can be both time-consuming and prone to errors. The AHD checkpoint module, however, offers a fully automated and real-time solution, greatly improving the efficiency and transparency of cleaning operations.
This system not only saves time and energy for cleaning staff but also provides management with a clearer overview of the tasks at hand, ensuring that cleanliness standards are consistently upheld throughout the facility.

Key Benefits of the Checkpoint Module:
-
Automated Task Management:
Cleaning staff can automatically receive task lists based on the checkpoints they scan, allowing them to complete tasks more efficiently while recording progress in real time. -
Real-Time Monitoring:
Management benefits from a special oversight view, enabling them to monitor cleaning activities as they occur. This real-time tracking allows for immediate intervention if any issues arise. -
NFC and QR Code Integration:
APFM-Systems supplies Samsung mobile devices pre-configured for NFC scanning, although the system also supports QR code scanning on any smartphone. This makes the solution highly adaptable and user-friendly. -
Customised Settings:
Each checkpoint can be individually configured with specific settings, such as task descriptions, cleaning frequency, and the permitted time intervals for work. This flexibility ensures that cleaning tasks are tailored to the unique needs of each facility.
The Mobile Interface – Simplicity Meets Efficiency
The AHD system’s mobile interface has been designed with the needs of cleaning staff in mind. Each user is assigned a unique username and password, which are managed by APFM-Systems administrators. To minimise downtime, the system keeps users logged in for up to 30 days, reducing the need for repeated logins and maximising operational efficiency. Once logged in, users are directed to the ‘Checkpoint List’ page, where they can view current tasks and monitor the status of completed work.
The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. To begin a task, users simply scan the NFC or QR code at a checkpoint, and the relevant task list appears. By tapping the ‘Start’ button, they can begin work, and the system records the completion of each task. Additionally, the system allows staff to leave comments or notes about the work they’ve carried out, ensuring detailed documentation of every activity.

Ensuring Complete Control Over Cleanliness
One of the most significant advantages of the checkpoint module is its ability to generate real-time reports on cleaning activities. This ensures that all processes are fully transparent and easily monitored. Users can categorise tasks by various statuses—active, inactive, completed, in progress, delayed, or marked as critical—based on the urgency and nature of the work.
For management, the desktop version of the system provides a comprehensive overview of all checkpoints, complete with options to filter data by location or date. The ability to download and analyse data is another valuable feature, allowing leaders to access critical information and statistics that support informed decision-making.
