See pricing, smart scheduling, recurring scheduling, the window cleaning industry page and the Hickory market page.

The system monitors weather forecasts for your service area and flags jobs on days where conditions exceed your configured thresholds for rain, wind, or temperature. You can set the system to automatically notify affected clients and offer rescheduling when conditions are clearly unsuitable, or to alert you for manual review when conditions are borderline. Rescheduled jobs are placed into the next available slots that maintain route efficiency. Clients receive a professional message explaining the weather delay and offering alternative dates, eliminating the need for individual phone calls that consume hours during rainy weeks.
Can the system handle both residential and commercial window cleaning accounts?+
Yes. Residential and commercial accounts are managed with appropriate workflows for each. Residential clients get seasonal rebooking reminders and route-based scheduling. Commercial accounts get contract-based recurring schedules with specific scope per visit, after-hours access management, and monthly consolidated invoicing.

The system separates revenue reporting by segment so you can analyze the profitability and growth of each part of your business independently.
