FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about what to expect from janitorial business software and Aspire's solutions below.

Janitorial software is a program or system that allows a janitorial provider, commercial cleaner, or building service contractor to operate more efficiently and profitably by managing the customer life cycle. That life cycle spans many business phases, including managing sales activities and client contacts with a customer relationship management tool, estimating and bidding on jobs, scheduling work orders, managing labor and timekeeping via a mobile app, material and supply purchasing, measuring quality control for cleaning services, and invoicing work once it’s complete. Some janitorial business management solutions help you manage your workforce and vehicles with GPS integrations as well.

When these features are captured in an end-to-end business management software, it provides visibility into how your company is performing in real time—giving you powerful insights into how you can grow your business and keep your customers happy.

If you’re a janitorial provider without a field service management software in place, you’re likely missing out on the following benefits:

Real-time visibility into your business data. Without a cloud-based centralized management system, your operation probably requires key leaders to be present to provide information or make decisions. A janitorial software solution such as Aspire provides a single source for that information that is accessible and updated in real time by all users in the company, connecting office and field staff.

Better business decisions. With instant access to performance metrics, business owners can begin to do less work in the business and less direct management of labor and performance. The big-picture insights from the data help you make impactful decisions that will benefit the business, or indicate how you can correct course before it’s too late.

Improved profitability. To win business and increase profits, you’ll need a real-time heartbeat of where each account stands in terms of allocated labor hours and material costs. This real-time data gives your team members a reliable gauge of their accuracy and efficiency, so they can adapt not just from one month to the next, but from one visit to the next—ultimately increasing your company’s job performance and profitability.

Labor management and performance. Business management software integrates features such as mobile timekeeping and GPS to provide a big-picture visualization of where your employees are clocking in and where work still needs to be done. A comprehensive software with full visibility into labor costs can also improve a cleaning business’s workloading—where, after estimating, a company determines how many team members to schedule on a job to complete the quoted services. Software helps you empower and motivate your teams with the information and tools they need to perform high-quality work.

Sales performance. A software solution centralizes your sales data, allowing you to identify your top-performing salespeople, streamlining your janitorial bidding process, and leveraging the experience and knowledge of your sales team to win more business and increase revenue.

Leveraging a janitorial software platform helps business owners take a step back from operations. The leaders of these businesses can then focus more on strategic activities and trust that their system provides team members at all levels of the business with the tools that they need to perform their jobs well.

In the sales cycle, the commercial janitorial industry often requires a high level of industry expertise to accurately estimate the cost of a job and price it competitively. It can be a challenge to hire someone new or who hasn't had a lot of experience in the industry to be part of your sales team. A software solution systematizes and institutionalizes the knowledge from the experts in your business, so you can put that information in the hands of someone far less experienced, and they can still leverage that information, data, and years of experience, to generate competitive bids.

With a cloud-based solution like Aspire, functions such as estimating, job costing, operations, time tracking, quality, invoicing, and more are consolidated under one roof. There are no blind spots or lack of integration among these features, and the information is accurate and trusted throughout your operation.

Growing your commercial cleaning company means winning new business, as well as retaining the business that you've already won. An end-to-end software solution automates key areas of the estimating process using templates so your janitorial bidding process is not only simplified but also ensures that your bid includes the proper profit margins and production rates from the start. Aspire takes that a step further with property intelligence tools that allow you to measure square footage of your properties to create precise bids.

And when it comes to keeping your clients happy and loyal, having a system that can empower the proper personnel within your operation to assess performance and perform any necessary corrective action will help you retain your hard-won accounts.

There’s no shortage of business management software for commercial cleaning businesses—aside from Aspire, there’s Cleantelligent, Cleanbid, and Jobber, just to name a few—but many of the available options are fragmented, even if they're part of a partnership or even under a single brand. If you’re not diligent in selecting the right software, you could end up with a solution with a variety of bolt-on applications and features that aren’t well integrated.

The best solutions are all-in-one business management platforms that provide robust reporting, giving janitorial companies real-time insights into their sales performance, and help estimators create accurate and profitable bids quickly. In an end-to-end system, jobs flow to a schedule board and mobile workforce management tool for production to execute, and then on to a seamlessly integrated invoicing and accounting system for timely billing and accounts receivable.

Integrating these features in a single field service management software simplifies your business reporting and ensures better customer communication, better employee performance and accountability, and higher profits.

Depending on the software you choose, your software solution may or may not integrate with QuickBooks.

Aspire commercial janitorial business management software integrates with QuickBooks accounting software as well as Acumatica accounting software. It's important to link your business management solution and your financial system, and in an end-to-end business management solution like Aspire, they're inextricably linked to provide the business operator visibility to their bottom line.

Many businesses in the commercial cleaning industry complete not just invoicing, payroll, and time tracking in QuickBooks, but also perform account management and CRM tasks in that solution as well. Aspire’s integration with QuickBooks allows users to house all financial activity above the gross margin line in Aspire, while QuickBooks handles all data related to your indirect costs. This allows the two solutions to share relevant information to generate accurate financials at month-end or year-end close.

The integration ensures that QuickBooks isn't missing any data that it needs and provides the details and management of that data to the employees who are closest to the production, benefitting and empowering those users with actionable, reliable data.
