How does the CRM handle clients who switch between weekly and biweekly cleaning?+
The system makes frequency changes seamless. When a client requests a switch from weekly to biweekly, the system updates their recurring schedule, adjusts pricing automatically if you offer frequency-based discounts, and reallocates the freed time slots to your waitlist or availability pool. The cleaner assigned to that client sees the updated schedule instantly on their mobile app. The system also keeps a log of frequency changes so you can identify clients who may be scaling back before eventually canceling.
Can I manage both residential and commercial cleaning clients in the same system?+
Yes. The system supports multiple service types with separate pricing structures, scheduling rules, and communication templates. Commercial clients can be tagged separately and assigned to different teams or time slots — for example, office cleanings scheduled for evenings or weekends. Reporting can be filtered by client type so you can track residential and commercial revenue independently. Many cleaning companies find that commercial contracts provide stable baseline revenue while residential clients offer higher margins.
