Janitorial Timekeeping Made Simple

Written by Michelle Audas | October 24, 2024

Every janitorial business owner sets out on a journey with the same goal: to build a thriving business. Owners tell us about the struggle of trying to do it all. From cleaning and sales to hiring, marketing, and management, this juggling act becomes unavoidable in the transition from startup to growth.

Can this juggling act phase ever be avoided? The debate continues, but one thing is clear: the path to a thriving business lies in finding efficiencies, and that journey starts with effective timekeeping.

Mastering Timekeeping: The Key to Success

Timekeeping is the backbone of any cleaning business, regardless of its size and revenue—from $50K to $5M and beyond. Understanding how to manage your most significant expense, labor, is crucial for sustainable growth. When you can accurately track and manage your cleaning team's time, you can focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional service and growing your business.
