Ansel Hayes Valley is a 160-unit multifamily community with two towers and heavy daily foot traffic. Pet hair and limited staffing made hallway cleanliness difficult to maintain. Under previous ownership, the property relied on a porter 7 days a week, 8 hours per day (56 hours weekly), yet hallway vacuuming still fell behind.
"Rosie takes the task off our plate and lets our porter focus on other things that were not getting touched regularly." - Jonathan, Maintenance Supervisor
THE CHALLENGE
Before Rosie:
- Hallways vacuumed only 3x per week
- Heavy pet hair required more frequent cleaning
- Vacuuming consumed majority of the porter’s time
- Stairwells, baseboards, and walls often delayed
- Even at 56 hours/week, hallway coverage was inconsistent
- After Sares Regis Group took over, the team needed to maintain standards without increasing labor.
Rosie, Tailos’ AI-powered commercial cleaning robot, now completes 40-plus hours of vacuuming every week, returning time to staff and improving overall consistency.
THE SOLUTION: Automated Daily Hallway Coverage with Rosie
SRG deployed Rosie across all carpeted hallways in both towers. Setup was simple, usage ramped quickly, and Rosie now completes 40 plus hours of vacuuming weekly.
