About
Janitorial Manager is a comprehensive, cloud-based janitorial and cleaning management software built specifically for cleaning service businesses. Designed by people with real industry experience, it serves Building Service Contractors (BSCs), in-house facility teams, healthcare organizations, schools, government agencies, and public venues. The platform centralizes every aspect of a cleaning operation into one system. Managers can track employee time with multiple clock-in/out options, assign checklists and instructions per location, schedule staff with location-specific reminders, and conduct custom quality inspections with documented feedback. Work orders make it easy to plan special projects and monitor costs, while job costing tools highlight which contracts are profitable and which are not. Janitorial Manager also includes equipment tracking to extend asset lifespan, a Scan4Clean QR code system that provides proof of service to clients, and a built-in messaging system that archives conversations with both staff and customers. Integrations with payroll and invoicing software eliminate manual data entry and streamline back-office operations. Ideal for cleaning businesses looking to reduce administrative overhead, improve communication, retain employees and clients, and scale without adding management headcount. The platform is accessible on web and mobile devices, making it practical for both office administrators and field cleaning crews.
