How does the system handle last-minute move-out cleaning requests?+
The system supports rush booking workflows for requests within 24 to 48 hours. Rush requests are automatically flagged as high priority and checked against real-time crew availability. If a crew has a gap or a cancellation has opened a slot, the system can confirm the booking immediately. Rush pricing rules can be applied automatically — many move-out cleaning businesses charge a 25 to 50 percent premium for same-day or next-day service. The lead receives a rush availability check within minutes of their inquiry, capturing the booking before they call a competitor.
Can property managers submit and track work orders through the system?+
Yes. Property managers get access to a partner portal where they can submit cleaning work orders with unit details, turnover dates, and scope requirements. They can track the status of each work order from submitted through scheduled, in-progress, and completed. Completion photos and cleaning certificates are accessible through the portal. Monthly invoices with per-unit breakdowns are generated automatically. This self-service capability dramatically reduces the phone and email communication that property manager accounts typically require, making your service easier to work with than competitors who rely on manual processes.
