ALM News
Last week, we hosted our first two virtual member roundtables, sparking interesting discussions and fostering meaningful connections among members. These small group sessions provided an invaluable platform for sharing successes, exploring opportunities, and collaboratively solving challenges.
 
The roundtables' open discussion format encouraged attendees to voice any issues, challenges, or topics of interest, including questions about ALM. A significant focus in both sessions was the ongoing issue of linen loss. Other lively discussions covered staffing challenges, particularly in engineering and top leadership roles, the integration of AI in laundries, and the benefits of linen tracking software.
