FacilityApps                                                             
 Dirk Tuip is Founder and CEO of FacilityApps, a software platform that helps cleaning companies connect and improve the full operational journey: from quote and contract through onboarding and training, planning, delivery, quality and proof, to invoicing and insight. His work centres on making technology useful where the work happens, in ways that support both managers and frontline teams. In recent years, FacilityApps has invested in VR Training for Cleaners. The training gives people a practical, visual way to learn cleaning tasks. By showing procedures in context rather than relying only on written instructions, it can help make onboarding and day-to-day learning more accessible when language is a barrier. Dirk also serves on the board of the Facility Data Standard, supporting more open and consistent data exchange across the facility services sector. He brings a practical perspective to innovation: technology, training and data standards should help cleaning organisations work with greater clarity, consistency and confidence.
