A study by Lisa Plant Foliage Decor Services
Lisa Plant Foliage Decor Services watered over 200 trees and large floor planters, in The Farm Credit Bank.
Designed for energy efficiency, this bank has an annual air exchange rate of 10% and is 19 stories tall.
- It offered a wide variety of the best and worst indoor plant environs: glass walls facing south; windowless conference areas; drafty entrances; toxic fume areas; cramped cubicle mazes.
- It had only two water closets, one on the 17th floor and one on the 2nd floor.
- It had 200 plants, 15 to 20 feet tall in terra cotta planters, as well as desk plants and top siders and large floor planters.
- This prestigious account was typical of the customers Lisa Plant Foliage Decor competed for daily. It was a challenge to maintain BEFORE they started using Tanks-A-Lot
Previously two technicians with steel watering machines spent 17 hours per week, a total of 68 watering hours per month maintaining this account.
Elevators opened into expensively furnished reception areas or security passages involving several glass and metal doors; as well as offices with many cubicles. The steel tanks did not roll easily in or out of elevators or through the doors. The steel tanks took a long time to fill. They were heavy and they often dripped from condensation or leaks. The hose had to be unhooked to the right length or the tech had to go back to the tank and unhook another loop to reach the plants. The hoses dragged on the floor. Because of the wand attachment they could only deliver water at one speed: SLOW.
Here's how the Tanks-A-Lot reduced the time and labor of watering this account. It went in and out of elevators and doors with ease. It went into the tightest cubicle mazes with easy mobility. It delivered water as fast as the tech wanted on the big plants, and as carefully as necessary over the computers and expensive desks because of it's dual controlled ball and thumbvalve. It was dripless and the techs had everything they needed to dust, trim and fertilize in the tool bags. Lisa Plant Foliage Decor Services reduced the labor on that account to one tech that spent 4.5 hours per week, a total of 18 watering hours per month.
The unique design and lightweight materials of Tanks-A-Lot enabled Lisa Plant Foliage Design Services to move quickly and water faster. Both large and small technicians used the Tanks-A-Lot everywhere with ease, the result was a dramatic reduction in time and labor costs to Lisa Plant Design.
74% Labor saved.
