Cleaning runs differently. Most software does not.

WHY GENERIC TOOLS STRAIN

Five things a cleaning business does that a job model does not expect.

• The work repeats, on cycles that are not monthly

  Weekly, fortnightly, every three weeks, first and third Tuesday. A product built around one-off jobs models this as a series of copies, and every change to the arrangement becomes a series of edits.

• The price is built from labour-hours, not a line item

  Two cleaners for two hours is four labour-hours. Add travel, laundry and the extras quoted separately, and a quote is a small calculation rather than a number you type in.

• Extras and packages change the scope, not just the total

  An oven interior or inside windows changes how long the visit takes and who is sent. Software that treats them as add-on prices gets the schedule wrong even when the invoice is right.

• Most of your team touches the software for minutes a day

  Cleaners need the address, the checklist and a way to show the work was done. Priced per user, that is the most expensive kind of team to buy seats for.

• Proof matters more than paperwork

  Photos against a checklist settle a disagreement about a missed skirting board faster than an invoice trail ever will. That belongs in the visit, not in a separate app.

WHERE CRAYON FITS

A proven core, changed by asking.

Crayon runs the operational ground every cleaning business needs: bookings, customers, scheduling, checklists with photo proof, invoicing and payments. The part that is different is what happens when it does not fit how you work. You ask, you see exactly what the change will do, and you approve it.

• Nothing metered per job or per clean.
• Your own isolated environment, not a shared platform.
• Your brand, your domain, your own app.
• Recurring cleans, extras and packages as first-class, not workarounds.
