Cleaning businesses live and die by their rosters. One missed shift and you lose a client. A simple rostering app with automated reminders takes that risk off the table.

What Cleaning Services Businesses Can Expect

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For cleaning services businesses, the key metrics are:

Jobs completed per week: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Client retention rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Quality audit scores: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in cleaning services is at the low level. Most cleaning services businesses still rely on manual processes or generic tools. This is an opportunity. The first businesses in this space to adopt custom software will set the standard.

Typical investment: $500-1500. Most cleaning services clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

How We Work with Cleaning Services Clients

Discovery. You tell us about your cleaning services business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For cleaning services projects, this usually falls within $500-1500.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 3-8 weeks. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.
