Kleenex wants to make sure your office doesn't run out of toilet paper - CNET

Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Kleenex and Huggies, has created the Intelligent Restroom app.

Toilets the world over had been places of painful stupidity. It was embarrassing for CEOs that, in a world where everything is smart, their toilets were as dumb as a presidential candidate.

So, with the help of IBM's Cloud and Bluemix Development Platform, building managers will now be alerted when toilet rolls are getting low and soaps are getting wo.

In a press release, Kimberly-Clark explained: "All the data is managed and monitored through a central dashboard that can be viewed on desktops or mobile devices remotely."

Please refrain from using the term "data dump" here.

The company claims that, in pilot tests, this new Intelligent Restroom app has reduced the amount of restroom supplies by 20 percent.

This is surely, though, only the first step in office restroom monitoring.
