Workforce Planning & Shift Scheduling Software for Janitorial Services

Digital cleaning checklists with timestamped photos per area that supervisors review remotely after each shift. Software for creating employee schedules, managing shift swaps, tracking time and attendance, and forecasting labor costs.

Challenges Janitorial Businesses Face

If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. Most janitorial businesses deal with these every day.

Night shift quality control where supervisors cannot inspect every building cleaned between 6 PM and 6 AM

Supply ordering that happens reactively when a cleaner runs out of product mid-shift instead of proactively

Client inspection complaints that arrive days after the cleaning with no documentation of what was actually done

High employee turnover in a workforce where training and key/access management are constant operational drains

Contract profitability that erodes when actual cleaning hours consistently exceed the hours quoted in the bid
