Cleaning Management
Field operations software that respects the field
Days
Onboarding (was weeks)
100%
Sites with digital checklists
Where it started
A cleaning company coordinated sites, staff, and quality checks through text messages and memory. New employees learned routes by shadowing; when a key person was sick, knowledge went home with them. Management had no view of what was actually done where.
What got built
A mobile-first system built for hands that wear gloves: big touch targets, site checklists with photos, and offline capability for basements without signal. Scheduling and quality reporting became structured data, so the office finally sees operations in real time without calling anyone.
What changed
Onboarding time for new cleaners dropped from weeks of shadowing to days, and quality disputes are now settled with timestamped photos instead of arguments.

Offline-first is a requirement, not a feature, once real buildings are involved.

The best data collection is the kind workers would do anyway, made one tap shorter.
