[ For Window Cleaning Companies ]
STOP MANAGING ROUTES IN A SPREADSHEET.
Customer A wants monthly. Customer B wants quarterly. Customer C wants twice a year. They all live on the same street. Then it rains Monday and the whole week cascades. OPS handles recurring routes, weather rescheduling, and per-property details — so your crew runs routes, not phone tag.

[ THE PROBLEM ]
Recurring schedules at different frequencies create impossible complexity
- • Monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, annual — and they all overlap on the same routes. Managing who is due, when, and which route they belong to breaks every spreadsheet eventually.
- • Route density collapses without optimization. Adding 10 customers degrades every existing route. Crews drive past stops they should be hitting because the schedule was built by address, not geography.
- • Rain cancels Monday. Monday pushes to Tuesday. Tuesday pushes to Wednesday. Within 48 hours the entire week is reshuffled. Manual rescheduling means dozens of phone calls and double-bookings.
- • Spring brings 2–3x demand. What worked at 40 stops a week cannot handle 100. Hiring seasonal crew means more routes, more rescheduling, more communication — on the same spreadsheet that barely worked at half the volume.
For: Window cleaning operators drowning in Google Sheets and rescheduling phone calls
Customers disappear when you stop communicating
- • A quarterly customer who has not heard from you in 3 months assumes you forgot about them. Without automated reminders, retention drops from 80% to below 60%.
- • Per-property details — pane counts, stories, access notes, gate codes, hard water flags — live in one tech's head. Send a different crew member and the context is gone.
- • Upsell opportunities for gutter cleaning, pressure washing, or screen repair disappear because no system prompts the add-on. You leave money on the table every week.
- • Invoice disputes eat admin hours. When pricing is per-pane and details are on paper, disagreements about pane counts become arguments. Digital records eliminate this.
For: Window cleaning businesses losing recurring customers to silence and missed appointments
Software built for plumbers, priced for margins you do not have
- • Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan are built for HVAC techs doing 3–5 jobs a day. Window cleaning runs 8–15 route stops with recurring frequencies, per-pane pricing, and weather rescheduling. Different workflow. Wrong tool.
- • Jobber charges $39 for one user but $169 for 5 and $349 for 10. Route optimization requires the $119 Connect plan. For a 3-crew operation with 5% margins, $200–$350 a month in software eats real profit.
- • Every competitor markets to the owner. The tech using the app 8 hours a day while holding a squeegee on a ladder is invisible in product design. Small buttons and white screens that glare in sunlight do not work at 24 feet.
- • A solo window cleaner does not have weeks to configure software, attend webinars, or sit through demos. If it is not working in a day, it gets abandoned.
For: Window cleaning owners tired of paying $200+ a month for software their crew ignores
[ THE SOLUTION ]
HOW OPS HANDLES IT
[ 01 ]
Route scheduling built for recurring rounds.
Build routes by geography, not alphabetical customer list. Cluster Monday's stops in the north end, Tuesday's in the south. Recurring frequency management handles weekly through annual customers on the same schedule without conflicts. Set it once — OPS auto-populates the calendar going forward. Cancel Monday's rain-soaked route and OPS redistributes stops across the week by crew availability and proximity. No random slot-filling. No phone tag.
[ 02 ]
Per-property details. Zero guesswork.
Store pane counts, stories, accessibility, window types, and special instructions per property. Quote once, then every recurring visit invoices automatically at the correct amount. No re-counting. No disputes. Difficulty-based pricing factors let you build rate cards that reflect real complexity. Upsell prompts during quoting catch the gutter cleaning and screen repair revenue you are currently leaving behind.
[ 03 ]
Built for ladders, not laptops.
56dp touch targets mean gloved, wet, or cold hands hit the right button every time. Dark theme eliminates screen glare on sunny exteriors. The app matches how window cleaners work: see your route, drive to the stop, check property notes, do the work, mark complete, next stop. Per-property details travel with the crew. Send a different tech and they have full context instantly. Photo documentation at completion protects against disputes.
