Macro ups our FM Game for Retail Clients
It's the middle of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and our retail clients are performing well under the pressure.
For the past six months, we've been working with them to plan and execute strategies for maintaining their stores during the Games, including:
- Accommodating increased footfall & sales
- Reducing the need for reactive FM to address greater footfall
- Dealing with the reduced/limited access for our contractors due to Paris road closures
Our solutions have included measures like:
- critical spares storage
- temporary coolers
- alternative cleaning regimes
- PPMs scheduling
- seasonal trends analysis to prevent reactive repairs
We're proud to say the stores are well-prepared and continuing to provide winning retail experiences during the Games.
