Pain points every cleaning owner knows

These aren't hypothetical — they're the exact headaches that eat your Friday afternoons and make payroll week miserable.

  • Crews hit eight homes in a day and punches at the wrong address create payroll headaches plus angry customers.
  • Supervisors find out about no-shows from the customer, not the system — calls roll in before lunch.
  • Subcontracted crews are mixed in with W-2s and the schedule has to handle both without confusion.
  • Friday timesheets come in handwritten on different forms and the office spends Monday fixing them.

Features that fix it — mapped to your workflow

Every bullet below links to a feature page with full details, screenshots, and FAQ. Nothing vaporware — it's either live or on the 90-day roadmap.

GPS proof

Lightweight location capture so you can prove the crew was on the property when you bill.

Per-account boundaries

Set a radius per customer — punches outside flag automatically for review.

Route scheduling

Build the day's route in the schedule view, push to phones, swap if someone calls in.

Same-day exceptions

Missed punches surface in real time, not buried in a Monday CSV.

Monday-to-Friday in ShiftDeck

Here's what a typical week looks like for a cleaning shop running ShiftDeck. No theory — just the steps.

  1. Import your customer list as sites — bulk paste from a spreadsheet, attach a boundary radius to each.
  2. Build the week's routes in the scheduler, assign crews, publish to phones.
  3. Crew clocks at each address; the live board shows who's where, who's running late.
  4. Supervisor clears the day's exceptions on the drive home, not on Monday morning.
  5. Export approved hours to your payroll processor at end of week.

Cleaning FAQ

For a mobile-first crew, yes — the app installs free on any iPhone or Android. For shared-equipment crews, kiosk mode on a single tablet with PIN entry works the same way and costs nothing extra.
