Savanty Sanitize
The problem is that businesses lack resources that accurately monitor hygiene and health practices. Savanty's solution is a cloud-based IoT solution that, when used with our devices and, or stations, monitors personnel hand hygiene, temperatures, fill level, air quality, dispenses sanitizer (one-time use or refill); encouraging enhanced safety to improve health and reduce the cost of sickness in the workplace saving billions each year. Our products can positively change lives around the world by giving them a reliable resource that helps prevent the spread of pathogens essentially saving billions in sick pay and insurance costs, access to sanitizer (refill option=reduction of plastic waste) all while creating new employment opportunities.
Current sanitizing solutions are inadequate: Billions are lost in the economy and 10s of millions of people are out of jobs as a result. Without data, we can not learn, optimize and teach better practices. This is a global issue, that all people are affected by. An average of 9 in 10 employees report going to work even when sick. This costs employers between $150 -250 billion or 60% of the total cost of worker illness. (Harvard Business Review) Handwashing reduces the risk of respiratory infections by 16-21 % and alcohol-based hand sanitizer can reduce the spread of Infections by 19.8 %. We are able to provide smart tech devices that will be a resource for hygiene insight, health security, and serve as a preventive method. Our products will give businesses an opportunity to give their customers/guests transparent, reliable solutions to keep them protected.
Savanty’s products include two wirelessly connected devices--the Connector and the Hiro--and a web and mobile cloud-connected platform for tracking and analyzing hygiene practices called Savanty Access. The Connector is a compact battery-powered device that attaches to the side of any hand soap or sanitizer dispenser. This device uses vibration & IR technology to track the uses, fill levels, and more including the location and the surrounding air quality. The Hiro station, placed at entrances and intersections of high foot traffic, enables facilities to protect businesses from potential illnesses entering their facility. The unique features include large fire-proof fluid reserves, personal bottle refill capabilities, temperature and mask-use check, air quality monitoring, video and print advertising capabilities, and more biometric and sanitization capabilities as requested.
This solution is meant and purposed for the entire globe. It is imperative that we require new resources that promote secure and safe practices so all people are given the chance to stay healthy. Encouraging the constancy of washing and or sanitizing hands can reduce the spread of germs by 19.8%. There is a massive demand for efficient initiatives that foster a more structured criterion for sanitization within public space. Savanty Sanitize’s products are the solution to establishing these essential regulations that will ultimately prevent financial loss, the spread of pathogens, and support overall productivity for everyone because all of us deserve to live at our safest.
- Strengthen disease surveillance, early warning predictive systems, and other data systems to detect, slow, or halt future disease outbreaks.
We have created smart tech devices that collect and surveil hand hygiene that ultimately serves as a prevention method to spreading diseases. The goal and purpose of our devices are to solely protect and educate; allowing people to have a safer, more hygienic environment that will ripple positively into multiple areas of life. Providing these devices to the world will deliver a less stressed population creating more productivity and success all around.
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model.
We currently have our first prototype of the Connector (monitoring device) being tested in Los Angeles California. The device is attached to a Purell hand sanitizer dispenser, tracking usage, fill level, and air quality. Serving about 35 people and reporting data collected to our Savanty dashboard.
- A new application of an existing technology
What makes our devices innovative is our proprietary technology, multifunctional solution value, adaptive nature (able to integrate within any internal HR/ tech system), manufactured for both longevity and diverse environments (weatherproof), advertising capabilities, pricing, full-service operations, and environmental focus. We are expecting our devices to set a new standard of health surveillance and education. We are developing a completely new model for hygienic resources which should inspire others in the space to challenge by developing more resources for health security.

Currently, our system is serving a few thousand individuals who pass through the Sunset Marquis Hotel and The Semi-Tropic Restaurant and Bar. In one year, we are projected to serve hundreds of thousands in the US and Europe and then billions in five years globally, helping each individual be more safe and healthy in their lives.
Our progress is measured by the impact on workforce health after the implementation of our systems.

Coming from a career in creative advertising, Founder and CEO Tony Mancilla spent the last few years with Co-founder Travis studying consumer behaviors and market trends, advertising with new companies focused on social and environmental impact. His recent focus on emerging technologies for health and the environment led him to envision Savanty’s new products, and uniquely positions him to communicate the need for Savanty’s solution in such a way that breaks through the saturation with lasting effects and cultural transformation. Co-founder Travis DeWind was previously the #1 VP of Sales at Hook Logic, and later Criteo, after Hook Logic was acquired. Hook Logic’s founders attribute much of their growth and success to DeWind’s sales abilities of which brought in more than 60% of the company’s revenue and helped lead the company to be acquired for 250M by Criteo in 2016. His sales track record in the tech space and his deep understanding of the needs of businesses, he will be able to usher rapid growth for Savanty to take over market share within the first few years. Co-founder Philipp Meyer-Schmeling created and runs Noa Technologies, a hardware enabled software company that currently works with Apple, Google, DHL, Yale University, LinkedIn and many more high level business campuses.
