YOUR CREW CLEANS THE BUILDING. GIVE THEM AN APP THAT WORKS IN IT.
1.2 million cleaning businesses in the US. 90% have fewer than 10 employees. Most run on Google Calendar, WhatsApp group chats, and spreadsheets. OPS replaces the patchwork with one app your crew can actually use.

[ THE PROBLEM ]
SCHEDULING THAT COLLAPSES UNDER RECURRING WORK
- • Recurring appointments — weekly, biweekly, monthly — create scheduling complexity that Google Calendar cannot handle. No conflict detection, no automatic rebooking, no crew-job matching. Double-bookings happen constantly.
- • Last-minute cancellations cascade through the entire day. One no-show disrupts 3-4 subsequent appointments as crews scramble to fill or rearrange. The schedule that looked solid at 7 AM is destroyed by 9.
- • Route inefficiency bleeds profit. Crews driving 45 minutes between jobs that could be 10 minutes apart with proper sequencing. In cleaning, travel time is dead time — every minute driving is a minute not billing.
- • "Google Calendar is fundamentally incapable of running a granulated service business" — no native conflict checking, no shift overlap detection, no round-robin scheduling to balance load across crews.

CREWS QUIT FASTER THAN YOU CAN TRAIN THEM
- • Industry turnover averages 200-400% annually. You replace your entire cleaning staff 2-4 times per year. Each replacement costs $1,000-$5,000 in recruiting, screening, training, and lost productivity.
- • New cleaners get vague instructions, inconsistent training, and feel anonymous. They work alone in buildings at night and go weeks without seeing a supervisor. The result: disengagement and quitting within the first two weeks.
- • 65% of cleaning companies say finding reliable staff is their single biggest challenge. And every time a cleaner quits, their route knowledge, client preferences, and site access information walks out the door.
- • Cleaning businesses using operational tools see turnover reductions of 20-40%. When people understand their role, can see their progress, and feel connected to the operation, they stay longer.
For cleaning companies losing employees faster than they can hire and train replacements
WHATSAPP IS NOT A BUSINESS SYSTEM
- • Most cleaning businesses run on Google Calendar, WhatsApp groups, Excel spreadsheets, and paper checklists — none of which talk to each other. Data silos and communication black holes are the default state.
- • You cannot verify work was done, track crew locations, confirm clock-in times, or prove quality to clients when your entire system is text messages and trust.
- • Non-English-speaking crew members miss instructions sent in English-only group chats, leading to wrong supplies at wrong sites, skipped rooms, and accidents. 25% of job-related accidents in cleaning involve language barriers.
- • When the owner is the only person who knows the schedule, the client list, and the access codes, the business cannot survive a sick day — let alone scale to multiple crews.

[ THE SOLUTION ]
HOW OPS HANDLES IT
[ 01 ]
ONE APP FOR THE WHOLE DAY — SCHEDULE TO DONE
OPS replaces the fragmented stack of calendar apps, group chats, and spreadsheets with a single view of every crew day. Drag-and-drop scheduling with automatic conflict detection prevents double-bookings. Recurring job templates handle weekly, biweekly, and monthly appointments without manual re-entry. Crews see their entire day on their phone — addresses, access codes, client notes, checklists. When a cancellation comes in, the admin reassigns in seconds and the crew phone updates instantly.

CREW-FIRST DESIGN THAT REDUCES TURNOVER
New hires download OPS and see their schedule, route, and task lists on day one — no week-long training on complex software. 56dp touch targets work with wet or gloved hands. Dark theme legible in bright bathrooms and dim commercial hallways. Crew leads check off tasks, upload completion photos, and clock in from the field. Cleaners feel connected to the operation instead of isolated. Tools that reduce operational chaos lower turnover by 20-40% in cleaning businesses.
[ 03 ]
PROVE THE WORK WAS DONE — WITHOUT BEING THERE
Custom checklists per job type ensure nothing gets skipped. Photo uploads at task completion create a timestamped record. GPS-verified clock-in confirms the crew was at the site. When a client questions whether the baseboards were wiped or the break room restocked, you have documentation — not a "he said, she said" text thread. Critical for commercial janitorial contracts where inspections determine whether you keep the account.

$79/MONTH FLAT — NOT $169/MONTH FOR 5 USERS
Most cleaning businesses have avoided software because the options are either too expensive, too complex, or too narrow. Jobber charges $169 or more for teams. Swept costs $150 or more for commercial-only. ZenMaid is residential-only. OPS is free to start, works for both residential and commercial cleaning, and was designed for the field worker. No contracts, no feature gating, no bait-and-switch pricing. Download today, cleaning tomorrow.
