Cleaning Staff Management
Digitise and simplify the management of your cleaning workforce.
Managing cleaning teams across multiple sites can be challenging. Paper-based processes, manual communication, and limited visibility often lead to missed tasks, inconsistent service delivery, and increased administration.
Our mobile workforce management platform enables cleaning companies to communicate with employees, deliver training, monitor activities, and collect real-time information from the field – all from a single digital solution.

Cleaning businesses often struggle with:
- Managing staff across multiple client sites

Solution provided by the Three by Three app
Photo Verification
The app enables employees to capture photographic evidence before and after completing tasks, creating a clear visual record of work performed. Each image is automatically linked to the relevant location, task, and timestamp.
Result: an accurate digital audit trail that supports quality assurance, accountability, and client reporting.
Incident & Condition Reporting
Employees can use the app to report pre-existing conditions, record incidents, and capture photographic evidence of any damage or issues identified while on site. Reports are submitted in real time, giving management immediate visibility into operational concerns while maintaining transparent records.
Result: increased communication with clients which benefits both employees and the business.
A proactive approach that reduces administrative burden, improves communication, and helps maintain strong client relationships through greater transparency and operational visibility.
