Robotics and Tech in Action: How Trilogy Cleans Smarter, Not Harder
From Labor Shortages to Spotless Results, Trilogy Corporate Services Partnered with Pudu Robotics to Redefine Cleaning Efficency Across Multiple Facilities.
Highlights
Introduction
From bustling corporate offices to high-traffic R&D facilities, Trilogy Corporate Services has built its reputation on consistency, accountability, and proactive communication. Headquartered in Wixom, MI, Trilogy serves clients across Michigan, Northern Ohio, New York, Southeastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia.
CEO & Co-founder Brandon Bunt oversees operations in eight large commercial buildings in Southeast Michigan. While quality was always a hallmark, labor shortages, shift coverage gaps, and time-intensive training threatened to disrupt consistency.
“We wanted a solution that could support our team, not replace it.” – Brandon Bunt
Challenges
Trilogy Corporate opened up about the three main challenges the facility management industry and the company specifically encountered when helping their clients.
Before Pudu Robotics, training, supervision, and quality control consumed significant time—especially in large, open-floor environments where productivity could drop without proper routing and oversight.
Solution
“We’ve also seen an improvement in overall team efficiency—the robots take care of the heavy lifting, literally and figuratively, which allows our technicians to focus on more complex cleaning tasks.”
Trilogy adopted Pudu Robotics’4-in-1 Automatic Cleaning Robot (PUDU CC1) and Cordless Upright Scrubber-dryer (PUDU SH1) to handle repetitive floor cleaning in corridors, lobbies, and restroom hallways, freeing technicians to focus on detailing and touchpoints.
“Once [our staff] saw how easy the units were to program and operate, they embraced the support. The robots are intuitive, reliable, and even a bit fun to work with.” – Brandon Bunt
Key Takeaways
Why the PUDU CC1 Stood Out
“Sweep, scrub, vacuum, mop—in one machine. It replaced multiple pieces of equipment and ensures thoroughness in one pass.” – Brandon Bunt
- Four-in-one cleaning: scrubs, sweeps, vacuums, and dust mops in one pass.
- High efficiency to cover 700–1,000 m²/hour.
- Smart navigation with real-time route planning.
- Mobile water tank with auto refill and drainage.
- Compact and quiet for active environments.
How the PUDU SH1 Tackled Tough Jobs
“The PUDU SH1 effectively handles dust, debris, and lightweight tracked-in materials from foot traffic, spills, light build up, etc. It’s great for daily or interim cleaning.” – Brandon Bunt
- Expert in tough stain removal with 27 kg brush pressure and 350 rpm speed.
- Air-liquid-debris separation for cleaner recovery and maintenance efficiency.
- Multi-dimensional cleaning: vertical surfaces, dead zones, low-profile spaces, and 360° surround coverage.
- High productivity: cleans 1,100–1,600 m²/hour.
- Cordless design with easy-change battery, 70–100 min runtime, and quick 2.5h recharge.
- Real-time component monitoring and measurable cleaning metrics.
Results
The Pudu SH1 and CC1 have delivered clear positive results, helping reduce variability and improve coverage consistency while maintaining the high quality Trilogy is known for. With the CC1, the team is able to accomplish more with the same manpower, and together with the SH1, overall efficiency has reached a new level.
By handling the heavy lifting, both literally and figuratively, the robots free up technicians to focus on more complex cleaning tasks. Beyond their functionality, they also serve as a visible proof point of quality and a strong conversation starter with clients.
“The SH1’s smart navigation and compact footprint let us clean areas that would normally be slow by hand.” – Brandon Bunt
- Consistent coverage and reduced variability.
- More work completed with the same manpower.
- Faster shift coverage and less supervision required.
Testimonials
“Quiet confidence—efficient, unobtrusive.” – Facility Manager
“Seeing robotics in use reinforces our commitment to innovation and professionalism.”
“Our clients love the robots and how they compliment our 5S/Lean approach to cleaning.” – Brandon Bunt
Recommendation
When asked whether he would recommend Pudu Robotics to other business owners, Brandon Bunt didn’t hesitate:
“If your business values consistency, efficiency, and a modern approach to facility services, PUDU’s solutions are well worth considering. They won’t replace your team—but they will make your team stronger, more productive, and more reliable. Robotics like these are part of the future of cleaning—and in our case, they’re a valuable part of our present too.”
Trilogy’s experience demonstrates that robotics can seamlessly integrate into a facility services model and elevate quality, client relationships, and staff morale. For organizations facing labor shortages, high traffic environments, or strict appearance standards, the PUDU CC1 and PUDU SH1 deliver measurable impact from day one.
