Cleaning companies
Fixed rounds, changing crews, one invoice a month
A cleaning company runs on repetition: every Monday that office, every Thursday that school, and in between a move-out clean or an urgent job. The schedule is the product. Who is where, for how long, and whether it was done.
TelMaar schedules recurring rounds by itself, per location and per crew. Staff see their route on their phone and check out when a location is done. At the end of the month you create one collective invoice per customer for all visits, and that is booked immediately.
Cleaning teams are often multilingual. Each works in their own language in the app; the customer gets a Dutch or English invoice.

Frequently asked in this trade
Can I skip a fixed round once without breaking the whole series?

How do I invoice a customer with ten locations?
With a collective invoice: all visits of the month on one invoice, broken down per location.
Can staff see themselves what they have to do today?
Yes. Each sees their own schedule on their phone, in their own language, with address and particulars per location.
Can my customer see when cleaning was done?
Yes, in the customer portal. There they see the visits, any photos and their invoices.
