What is Clean Smarts?

Clean Smarts is a software platform designed for janitorial businesses and commercial cleaning companies. Its stated aim is to save cleaning teams time and money by automating time tracking, simplifying scheduling and improving communication with clients.

Rather than a general business tool adapted for cleaning, the product is organized around cleaning operations: employee hours, job schedules, site inspections, customer issues, supplies, equipment and messaging. Its site describes it as one tool for a commercial cleaning company or janitorial staff.

Customer testimonials come from leaders of cleaning firms such as Janico Building Services, CCleaning and Optimal Prime Services. One says the platform replaced three separate processes and programs covering payroll, supply inventory and quality control.

How does Clean Smarts work?

Managers set up accounts, users, schedules, supplies and checklists, either manually or by uploading a spreadsheet template that Clean Smarts provides. Cleaners and contractors receive logins and use the mobile app or other clock-in methods to record their hours at job sites.

From there, managers schedule work with a drag-and-drop interface and notify teams in real time. Inspectors score sites, issues are logged with photos or videos, and customers receive automated notifications.

Supplies are tracked as inventory with reorders and usage reports. Messaging runs through the platform so staff do not need to share personal phone numbers. The interface can be translated into more than 20 languages.

Key features of Clean Smarts

Time tracking is the most detailed module. Employees can clock in by mobile app, NFC sensor, text message, phone call or barcode, and the system supports location-based check-ins, time window restrictions and automated reminders. It also handles hourly pay, flat fees for subcontractors and incentive pay for late or weekend jobs.

For quality control, inspections use weighted scoring and connect to issue logging and resolution. Issue tracking accepts photos and videos and sends automated notifications to customers.

Other included tools cover supply requests and inventory, equipment management, video and picture task training, a white-labeled customer portal, public surveys and revenue and cost reporting. Payroll is sold separately as an add-on.
