CIMS certification assures our customers that our processes are among the industry’s best. Our commitment to the cleaning industry has been demonstrated time and time again.
We work proactively rather than reactively, helping you to figure out what you need. As an ISSA CIMS-GB certified janitorial company, Stathakis will deliver exactly what is promised, saving you money while keeping your facility in good working order and looking its best.
Yes, all of those letters actually mean something.
ISSA is a worldwide professional organization for building services companies that provide cleaning, janitorial, building maintenance and other related services.
Like other professional associations, the ISSA certification offers dedicated, professional cleaning and maintenance companies the opportunity to earn additional certifications. These certifications demonstrate commitment to the industry and show they meet the very highest standards.
CIMS is the Cleaning Industry Management Standard Certification. The CIMS Certification is among the most rigorous and difficult levels of certification offered. The CIMS standard includes:
The "Green Building" component of the certification establishes a janitorial or cleaning company’s capability to assist their customers with achieving a greener clean. It also helps you earn LEED-EBOM points. Some companies say they “clean green” but they really just use the phrase as a sales tool. Green Building certification can be a great way to identify the cleaning companies that really do clean green. You’ll know they’re focused on safeguarding the health of your people and theirs.
The answer is yes! The CIMS certification program is a rigorous program that sets a new standard of excellence for building service contractors. Implementation of the standard's signature framework, built around five universally accepted quality principles, establishes companies like Stathakis as a high-performance, customer-focused cleaning organization. Like nearly any business, the longer you do it, the more you refine your practices and seek to improve, the more value you provide to your customers.
Not necessarily. In some industries, the better you are the more you charge. Customers are usually willing to pay more for such expertise and seamless service delivery. However, in the cleaning industry, the more experienced, systemized and trained a company is, the more money they can save you. How is that possible?
It comes down to resource allocation and effective, livable cost-savings measures. A reputable, ISSA CIMS-GB company that understands their business and the needs of the Facilities Managers they work with knows what is most important to their customers. They know how to ask the right questions to put together detailed cleaning specifications that reflect what you truly need. Highly trained and certified cleaning companies also understand how to work within the ever-tightening facility budgets that are a current reality for most of us right now.
Stathakis is among the most highly regarded Michigan cleaning companies and we work hard for that distinction. Our LEED Certified Office Cleaning & Janitorial Services and our ISSA CIMS-GB certification attest to the high level of service we offer and to how we value our relationships with our customers. Some Michigan janitorial companies see ISSA CIMS-GB as too costly and difficult to achieve and therefore worthless.
At Stathakis, we continually raise the bar when it comes to delivering results to our customers. We build lasting partnerships that benefit your company, our company and the greater Michigan community.
