Platform fit, explained
A written pick between platforms such as Jobber, ZenMaid, Launch27, or BookingKoala, matched to how you sell.
The Problem
Your Schedule Lives in a Spreadsheet Only You Understand
Recurring cleaning work looks simple until clients skip a week, swap days, add a deep clean, or change their door code. Every change lands on the owner's phone and a spreadsheet.
Recurring changes
Skips and day swaps get lost between texts and the spreadsheet.
Recurring changes
Recurring rules handle skips and swaps, and the schedule updates itself.
Drive time
Teams cross town twice because jobs aren't grouped by area.
Drive time
Jobs are assigned by zone, so each team works one part of town.
Entry details
Lockbox codes and pet notes live in someone's phone.
Entry details
Entry notes and checklists are stored with each home for the team on the job.
Getting paid
Hours come from texts, and cards go uncharged for days.
Getting paid
Clock-ins feed payroll, and cards are charged when a job is marked done.
It's Sunday night and you're building next week's schedule by hand. One client moved to biweekly, another skipped this week, and a new move-out clean needs two people on Thursday. A team leader texts that a cleaner is out sick, and a lockbox code changed but nobody wrote it down. On Monday a team crosses town twice because the jobs weren't grouped by area. Payroll means adding up texted start times, and last week's card payment is still unpaid.
We start by matching the software to how you sell: recurring maid service, commercial contracts, or both. Then we set up your cleaning service scheduling software with real rules. Service types are timed by home size, frequencies repeat weekly or biweekly, skips have limits, and teams work by zone. Entry notes and checklists live with each home, cleaners clock in from the app, and cards are charged when a job is marked done. Next week's schedule builds itself, so Sunday nights go back to you.
Recurring rules that hold
Weekly, biweekly, and monthly visits repeat on their own, with skip and reschedule limits you set.
Teams grouped by zone
Jobs go to teams by area, so your cleaners spend the day cleaning instead of driving.
Checklists and entry notes
Each home keeps its checklist, key or code details, and pet notes for the team on that job.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built booking, scheduling, and staff tools for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Cleaning Companies Trust Us With Their Schedule
Your schedule holds your clients' keys, codes, and routines. These habits protect that trust while we change how your week runs.
Honest advice on platforms
We set up whichever platform fits how you sell, not the one we know best. If your current tool just needs better settings, we'll tell you before we quote.
Your clients' homes first
Entry codes, alarm notes, and pet details are sensitive. We keep them in the platform's private fields and limit who on your team can see them.
Tested on a real week
Before you switch, we run a copy of next week's schedule in the new platform. Your team leaders check it against what they know about each home.
Switch on a quiet day
We move you over midweek, not on your busiest day, and keep the old schedule as a backup for one cycle. That way a clean doesn't fall through the gap.
Training your team can replay
Team leads get a live video walkthrough of the app, clock-in, and checklists. We record it so new hires can learn the same way later.
Accounts in your name
The platform, payment, and QuickBooks accounts are registered to your company. If we part ways, everything keeps running exactly as before.

Good fit
Residential maid services
You need a scheduling app for cleaning business crews that shows each team its homes, entry codes, and checklists for the day.
Commercial and office cleaners
Your office contracts clean after hours on fixed days, and you need cleaning company software that tracks each site's schedule and alarm notes.
Owners still on spreadsheets
You build every week by hand, and you want scheduling software for cleaning business work that repeats visits without a Sunday-night session.
Companies switching platforms
Your current cleaning service software can't handle your pricing or teams, and you need clients moved over without losing entry notes.
Multi-location cleaning brands
You run several locations or franchises and want one way to schedule, pay cleaners, and report across all of them.
Not a fit
Budget under $600
You have a handful of clients and one cleaner. A free calendar and the platform's own setup guide will carry you until you grow.
Need more repeat clients
Your schedule is fine, but quotes go quiet and one-time cleans don't return. CRM for Cleaning Businesses fixes that follow-up.
Want a price-quote website
You need a site where visitors price a clean by bedrooms and book it. Cleaning Service Website Design is built for that.
Want a fully custom app
You want your own scheduling software built from scratch instead of a platform. That is a custom software build, which we scope separately.

Send a message or book a call with the team.
Our setup starts at $600 for one platform configured with your services, recurring rules, teams, and reminders. Moving recurring clients over with entry notes, payments, and QuickBooks is $1,550. Multi-location or mixed residential and commercial setups start at $3,300. The software plan itself is billed by the vendor, separate from our one-time fee.
A clean setup takes 1 to 2 weeks. With client migration and integrations, plan on 3 to 6 weeks, mostly spent importing and checking recurring clients. We switch midweek and keep your old schedule as a backup for one cycle, so your teams keep cleaning while the move happens.
Cleaning service software is a platform that books jobs, repeats recurring visits, assigns teams, and takes payments for a cleaning business. Most also send reminders, store checklists and entry notes, and track cleaner hours. Some are built for maid services, such as ZenMaid and Launch27, while Jobber and Housecall Pro serve many home service trades.
The best software fits how you sell, so start there instead of with feature lists. Recurring residential clients need strong frequency and skip rules. Commercial contracts need site schedules and after-hours shifts. If you also run carpet or window jobs, a platform built for several trades may suit you better than a maid-only tool.
For a growing company, the best fit handles teams and zones, not only one owner's calendar. Look for team assignment by area, a cleaner app with clock-in, card on file, and an API or Zapier connection for QuickBooks and reports. Check the plan tier too: on Housecall Pro, for example, open API access comes only with its MAX plan.
Pick software whose recurring rules match your policy. Ask how it handles a skipped week, a permanent day change, a holiday, and a price change for one client. ZenMaid, for example, is built around recurring maid service, with an online booking form and payroll from clock-in times on its Pro tier. We test those cases before you commit.
For office cleaning, choose software that schedules by site and contract, not by home size. You need recurring after-hours visits per building, supply and alarm notes per site, and inspection checklists your supervisor can sign off. Jobber's recurring jobs and its GraphQL API suit many commercial cleaners, and we add custom reports where you need them.
Booking software works well when online bookings land straight in the schedule with the right team and duration. BookingKoala and Launch27 both offer online booking forms for cleaning companies, and Jobber and Housecall Pro take requests into their own schedules. We set the form questions to match your price list, so booked jobs need no rework.
On a tight budget, the best choice is often the plan you already pay for, set up properly. Many owners run their platform without recurring rules, reminders, or card on file switched on. Our $600 setup turns those on before you pay for a bigger tool. If your platform truly can't do the job, we'll recommend one that can.
You do. The scheduling platform, payment processor, and QuickBooks accounts are registered to your company, and we work in them as invited users. When the 30 days of help after launch end, we remove our access unless you want ongoing support. Your client list, history, and entry notes stay where they are.
