Build the rota without opening a spreadsheet.
Cleaning schedule software builds the rota for every site on one calendar, applies repeating patterns in bulk, and tracks relief and cover staff alongside permanent teams so a sickness absence does not become a service failure.

Patterns, not cells
A cleaning rota is mostly repetition — the same hours, the same sites, week after week — with a handful of exceptions that matter enormously. A spreadsheet treats every one of those cells as equally important, which is why maintaining one takes a morning a week.
Schedules here are built from patterns you apply in bulk and then vary where the site actually varies.
- Drag-and-drop shift editing with bulk schedule patterns
- Permission-gated editing for supervisors and area managers
Cover is part of the rota, not a WhatsApp message
The moment a rota lives in one person's spreadsheet, arranging cover happens somewhere else — usually a phone — and the record of who actually worked stops matching the plan. Relief and cover staff sit on the same schedule as everyone else, so the rota stays the answer to who was on site.
- Relief and cover staff tracked alongside permanent teams
Changes that do not need you
Supervisors and area managers can edit the sites they are responsible for without being able to touch the ones they are not. Scheduling stops being a bottleneck at head office without becoming a free-for-all.
What goes wrong without it
- The master rota is a spreadsheet on one laptop, and the version supervisors work from is a screenshot of it from three weeks ago.
- Cover is arranged by phone and never written down, so the attendance record and the rota disagree.
- A site gains an extra hour informally and it never reaches the costing.
- Nobody can answer who was on site last Tuesday without ringing someone.
