Roochii Cleaning grew 25% when they started running their field service operations on Zoho FSM and the Zoho ecosystem.
This isn't just an empty statistic. This number is the clear result of improved scheduling, streamlined communication, and connected systems.
Service providers like Roochii Cleaning, who offer residential and commercial cleaning services, require solutions that take the dynamic nature of their business into account. They need a one-stop platform that lets them handle their various business processes without a steep learning curve. This blog highlights some of the everyday issues that cleaning service providers face and shows you how Zoho FSM can get you past these roadblocks.
Issues faced by cleaning service providers:
Scheduling conflicts and overlaps: Managing multiple cleaners and crews leads to missed appointments, double-bookings, and no room for last-minute changes.
Lack of real-time tracking: Without live updates, you only discover delays or issues when it is too late
Improper quality checks: Supervisors can’t be everywhere. Improper processes go unchecked, resulting in unhappy customers and rework.
Inability to scale efficiently: When your business scales, legacy tools buckle under volumes, and inefficiencies creep in.
A comprehensive field service platform like Zoho FSM can tackle these issues seamlessly while also offering you additional tools to help increase efficiency.
Cut the confusion in scheduling and dispatch
Zoho FSM’s Dispatch Console gives you information and handy scheduling tools on a single screen. Here, you can view existing schedules, spot gaps, manage workloads, and dispatch cleaners, crews, and equipment. With territory and skill filters and live-location tracking, you can assign jobs to a skilled resource who can reach the job site on time. Be it a single-day job, a multi-day assignment, or just a task under a complex service, you can schedule all of this with a simple drag and drop. Moreover, you can enable your cleaners to accept or reject jobs assigned to them for clear communication and timely service delivery.
Monitor cleaning services in real time
Equip your cleaners with the Zoho FSM mobile app and receive instant updates without repeated phone calls. Attendance is recorded as soon as cleaners check in for the day, and it also triggers live location tracking. At the job site, timesheets are logged automatically when your team starts work and tracks work duration. You can also set up job sheets with checklists and review them to verify if SOPs have been followed. At the end of every visit, cleaners can send a service report that contains work details, photos, notes, and a signature to share with the client as proof of work.
Eliminate delays in the payment process
Manage billing and payments effortlessly with Zoho FSM's one-click invoicing. Convert work orders into branded invoices from the web or mobile app and send them to your customers from anywhere. The integrated billing module also enables you to track invoices and payments for better cash flow management. Beyond this, you can also automate payment reminders to ensure timely follow-ups without manual effort.
Manage regular maintenance jobs efficiently
Most cleaning work is periodic by nature. To help capitalise on that, Zoho FSM lets you set up scheduled maintenance plans. Periodic cleaning plans can be set up for daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals and customized further to suit your requirements. Recurring work orders and service appointments are generated automatically at pre-defined times to help you manage schedules efficiently. You can also view upcoming cycles beforehand to forecast staffing and consumables.
Reduce time spent on repetitive tasks
Automate repetitive processes that take up unnecessary time and effort. Use status-based triggers and time-based rules to send welcome emails, cleaning progress alerts, and schedule reminders. You can also update information within Zoho FSM and even keep your integrated systems in sync in real-time.
Beyond streamlining your service operations, Zoho FSM also integrates with Zoho CRM and Bigin, Zoho Books, Zoho Desk, WhatsApp, and Zapier to help you manage every aspect of your business seamlessly. When your systems are connected, you do not have to update information manually or switch between apps for each task.
Be it handheld tools or technological tools, using the right one gets the job done faster and more efficiently. With Zoho FSM, you can set processes that are followed consistently across your organization to achieve excellent results.
