Crews & contracts · Field service
Schedules, jobs, and billing aligned so nothing falls through the cracks.
Built for cleaning and maintenance operators who live on the route.
Purpose-built tools for cleaning and maintenance businesses from solo operators to full teams.
Schedule recurring or one-time jobs for clients and assign them to the right crew members.
Track assignments, availability, and completion progress from a single operational view.
Keep contact info, property notes, access details, and service history in one place.
Create custom job checklists so required steps are completed consistently in the field.
Generate invoices directly from completed jobs and track payment status without extra tools.
Maintain an audit trail of completed work for quality reviews, compliance, and client reporting.
Connect directly to Jan/San, food service, and medical supply wholesalers — sync catalogs and pricing automatically, dispatch purchase orders to partner endpoints, and ingest acknowledgements with line-level substitution and backorder flags.
Track on-hand, allocated, in-transit, and available-to-promise quantities across warehouses and bin locations in real time — so fulfillment teams always know exactly what can ship today and what is still incoming.
Attach SDS sheets, hazard classifications, vendor COAs, and food allergen labels to products — monitor expiration dates with a 30-day alert horizon and enforce pre-fulfillment compliance checks before orders leave the warehouse.
Capture defensible delivery evidence — driver signatures, photos, geo-location, and outcome codes (complete, partial, refused, or failed attempt) — with immutable POD bundles, dispute timelines, and customer-facing PDF proof documents.
Receive goods against purchase orders with line-level variance recording (short, over, or damaged), lot code and expiration date capture for controlled products, and a full cycle count workflow with approval routing and adjustment audit trails.
Run Jan/San, Breakroom & Food Services, Medical Commodities, and Office Technology distribution lines on one platform — each vertical gets its own compliance rules, catalog scoping, and KPI filters without code forks or separate installs.
Generate sales trend charts, inventory snapshots, integration exception summaries, POD completion metrics, and compliance packets — all with PDF export for customer disputes, inspections, and operations review.
Analyze item and category-level margins against cost and sell data, identify profit opportunities, and surface substitute product recommendations so managers can protect margin at the SKU level before quotes go out.
Scores reflect common buyer-facing positioning (not an exhaustive RFP matrix). Yes = clearly advertised or widely accepted strength; Partial = varies by edition, add-on, or configuration; No = not a marketed advantage; Unclear = insufficient public detail.
