In today’s rapidly evolving world, maintaining clean and safe environments has never been more critical. As industries like healthcare, education, and public facilities seek better ways to validate and manage cleaning protocols, Optisolve has emerged as a leader in providing innovative, data-driven solutions. We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Optisolve‘s CEO Prakash Naganath who shared insights on the company’s vision, industry challenges, and what sets Optisolve apart from the competition. In this interview, we explore how the company’s unique approach to cleaning validation is not only addressing current needs but also shaping the future of facility management.

Steering Optisolve Towards Excellence

As CEO of Optisolve, the primary responsibility is ensuring the company’s profitability while safeguarding the interests of investors and stakeholders. But beyond financials, overseeing the sales and marketing strategies and serving as the critical link between the business and its Board of Directors are central to the role. Prakash shares, “I work closely with our teams to ensure strategies are executed, and our company remains a leader in the field.”

A Career Driven by Opportunity and Innovation

The journey to Optisolve was fuelled by a desire to lead a young, dynamic company with a unique technology suite that could significantly impact a post-pandemic world. With over three decades of experience across North America and international markets, the CEO brings leadership and business development skills to guide Optisolve toward success.

“The challenge of leading a company with transformative solutions in today’s world is what inspired me to pursue this opportunity. I wanted to leverage my skills in a meaningful way and be part of an exciting growth journey,” Prakash shared.

The Vision Behind Optisolve’s Founding

Optisolve was born out of a simple but essential need: understanding the true cleanliness of surfaces. This drive led to the development of cutting-edge technology that detects bacterial contamination and bio-burden levels on high-touch surfaces.

“Our proprietary technology offers a visual, color-coded image of the surface, adding immense value to cleaning and auditing staff, compared to traditional methods like ATP swabbing or blacklight detection,” explains Prakash. This data-driven approach sets Optisolve apart by combining its cleaning quality management software with in-depth assessments, ultimately benefiting both staff and customers.

Guiding Strategy Through Innovative Products

At the heart of Optisolve’s product line is a commitment to providing customers with innovative, data-driven solutions that elevate facility cleaning validation and vehicle telematics. Prakash emphasized that the company’s mission is to enhance productivity, provide lasting value, and ultimately ensure the safety of the communities they serve.

“We work across industries such as healthcare, education, transportation, and fleet services, focusing on transforming the way facilities manage cleanliness and safety,” he noted.

Staying Ahead in the Cleaning Validation Industry

In an ever-evolving field, staying ahead means continuously listening to customer pain points and developing technologies that meet new demands. Optisolve leverages its deep roots in manufacturing and distribution while collaborating with academic and scientific partners to push the boundaries of cleaning validation.

“Partnering with industry leaders and academic institutions allows us to continuously innovate and refine our products, ensuring that we stay on the cutting edge of cleaning validation technology.”

Addressing Industry Challenges and Opportunities

Prakash highlighted two significant challenges the cleaning validation industry faces: the rising threat of more potent pathogens and shrinking budgets with high staff turnover. However, these challenges present opportunities for Optisolve to lead the way.

“By leveraging resources both within our group of companies and externally, we can stay ahead of industry trends and continue developing solutions that help our customers overcome these obstacles,” they explained.

Celebrating Milestones and Achievements

In the past year, Optisolve has achieved several milestones, including the certification of its award-winning Pathfinder and SAVI systems as ISSA GBAC STAR registered technology programs. Additionally, Optisolve has become SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant, further solidifying its commitment to data security and privacy.

One of the most exciting recent achievements is the signing of a multi-year contract with a leading healthcare customer in Eastern Canada, which aims to introduce innovative technologies for continuous process improvement.

A Commitment to Innovation and Excellence

Optisolve’s commitment to innovation and excellence is unwavering. “We are a young company that is constantly striving for higher levels of excellence,” Prakash says. “We refuse to become complacent with our current success and continually work to improve by empathizing with our customers and learning from everyone in our ecosystem.”

This dedication to continuous improvement is what makes Optisolve stand out as a leader in the cleaning validation industry.

Innovating with Data and Science

Optisolve’s success lies in its ability to harness the power of data and science to deliver meaningful results in the cleaning validation industry. As technology continues to reshape facility management, Optisolve remains at the forefront by offering solutions that are both evidence-backed and data-driven. With tools like SAVI, a cleaning quality management software, and the Pathfinder surface imaging system, the company provides insights that go far beyond traditional cleaning methods. These innovations allow facilities to track, monitor, and validate cleaning effectiveness, ultimately ensuring a healthier and safer environment for occupants.

By coupling cutting-edge technology with a customer-centric approach, Optisolve continues to redefine what is possible in the cleaning and validation space. The company’s commitment to continuous improvement, driven by real-time data and feedback, positions it as a transformative player in industries where cleanliness and safety are paramount, including healthcare, education, and public facilities.

Over the years, the company has built a reputation as a trusted partner for businesses and institutions seeking to enhance their cleaning and facility management practices. This reputation is further cemented by a strong focus on compliance and certification, ensuring that Optisolve’s offerings meet the highest industry standards. With certifications like SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliance, Optisolve demonstrates its commitment not only to innovation but also to safeguarding sensitive information in industries where security is a priority.

As Optisolve continues to grow, its mission remains clear: to provide transformational solutions that keep people and facilities safe. By listening to customer needs, leveraging partnerships, and staying at the cutting edge of technology, the company is well-positioned to lead the way in the future of cleaning validation and facility management.
