Cleaning marketplace

Customer app, cleaner app and admin CRM with upfront payment and photo proof

Key Capabilities Delivered:
  • A customer app to browse services, see the price up front, pay before the job starts, and track status in real time — no more waiting for a call back to confirm a booking.
  • A cleaner app to accept jobs, check in on arrival, upload before-and-after photos, and mark the job complete, so there's a timestamped record of every visit.
  • An admin CRM to approve new cleaners, assign jobs to the right person, and track revenue, commission and payouts without a separate spreadsheet.
  • Automatic notifications at booking, assignment and completion, with an invoice and the before-and-after photos sent straight to the customer.
