WHY POPPY
Your employees are the backbone of your business.
Poppy allows you to:
Prevent shutdowns and slowdowns by proactively reducing on-site transmission risks before they happen.
Reduce sick days, overtime costs and health-related costs due to everything from COVID to the flu to molds and other pathogens.
Bolster your guest experience, your brand, and your reputation by showing your people and your guests that you’re ensuring their safety.
POPPY'S SYSTEM
Create infection-resistant spaces with a comprehensive, proactive approach.
We make your space safer before there is a problem by proactively scanning and mapping how pathogens would move in your space if they were present, where they would linger and build up in the air (hotspots), and how long they would take to clear.
We constantly monitor for 1000+ organisms like mold, influenza, salmonella, or COVID virus, and quickly alert you when there is a potential problem, allowing you to respond and contain any issues right away.
POPPY IN ACTION
Breathe easier.
Poppy takes the guesswork out of biosafety investments.
THE CHALLENGE
A group of entertainment venues was evaluating where and when to invest in building upgrades as performers, staff, and guests expressed concerns about mold, food-borne illnesses, and COVID. Outbreaks of norovirus and later influenza A put added pressure on Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) resources. While the show must go on, the back of the house regularly had to bring in temporary staff to fill the gap, and the guest experience suffered.
THE APPROACH
Poppy’s System was set up in the kitchens, staff rooms, bars and lobbies. Within 24 hours, Management had their first view of potential transmission pathways, hotspots, and airborne virus clearance rates for each zone. Poppy’s system provides them daily insights into how building biosafety changes based on occupancy, staff health, even weather and seasons.
THE OUTCOME
Based on Poppy’s system, management rapidly triaged areas where they could reduce costs and where upgrades should be scheduled. Staff shifts were adjusted if certain pathogens were detected. The organization used Poppy’s digital signage to display the real-time results of all their hard work and investments in staff and guest safety.
INDUSTRIES
Air safety for every enterprise.
Using Poppy's system has given us the tool to make the invisible visible for our client as their trusted advisor. We can now see where airborne viruses build up as hotspots within the facility, and then measure the impact of the improvements we make. Best of all, our client is confident that the Ainsworth + Poppy partnership is helping make visitors and staff safe from airborne pathogens.
