Frequently asked questions
What are why period products should be free requirements for facilities?
Requirements vary by state and facility type, but they generally cover where products must be available, that they be provided at no cost, and that facilities keep restrooms stocked. NEXAFLO handles dispensers, restocking, and the documentation that proves why period products should be free obligations are being met.
Are dispensers included in a NEXAFLO managed program?
Yes. Touch-free dispensers, installation, product, restocking, and compliance reporting are all included in the managed program — there is no separate equipment purchase.
How long does it take to roll out across multiple buildings?
Most portfolios complete remote site review, installation, and baseline reporting within 90 days, with a pilot site live in the first few weeks.
