Job management for exterior cleaning businesses

of work planned for next year, after three months on Nozl

What Thomas Cleaning says

“We moved the whole business onto Nozl and three months later we've got over $100,000 of work already planned for next year. Getting a client onto a repeat booking takes a minute: turn the quote they've accepted into a plan, choose how often, and every visit is pencilled in with its price. The crew run their day from their phones, and I can finally see what's coming instead of guessing.”

  • A template library that says what the customer reads and what the crew does
  • Optional extras on their own or in Choose one and Choose any groups
  • Accepted online with a typed name and drawn signature, or for them by phone

Jobs and the calendar

Schedule by dragging

An accepted quote becomes a job waiting to be scheduled. Drag it onto the week or month and give it to a crew or one person.

  • Several dates for one job, each with its own start, finish, crew and note
  • Calendar views of your own: branches, crews, job steps, each in your colours
  • The value booked each day, week and month, before GST
  • Ad hoc events for meetings, training and days off, repeating if you like

Repeat bookings and roof treatments

Next year's work, already pencilled in

Put a customer on a repeat booking and every visit is pencilled ahead on its schedule, priced with their plan discount. Roof treatments run initial treatment then annual re-treatments, five times.

  • Every visit pencilled in to the end of next year, in the forecast and the dashboard
  • Overdue, due and coming up, coloured by how soon, with a phone for the ones to call first
  • Schedule books the visit on the calendar as a priced job, with its tasks
  • Made from an accepted quote, a finished job or the customer's page
Repeat bookings: visits overdue, due and coming up, with their plans, prices and Schedule

  • The job card: directions, the checklist, extras the customer agreed, before and after photos
  • Search customers, addresses, quotes and invoices, all opening in the field app
  • No signal: photos, door knocks and clock-ons wait on the phone and send when it's back

Ask for the review before you drive away

  • Send the link instead, by text or anywhere the phone can share
  • Print the same code on cards and stickers: it never changes, even if your link does

One app, not nine

What you save by running it all in Nozl

Most cleaning businesses pay for a separate app for each of these, and copy the same customer between them. Here's roughly what that costs a team of eight. Switch off what you don't use, or put in what you pay.

  • Job management and invoicingQuotes, jobs, scheduling and invoices, priced per user
  • Door knockingA canvassing app with a map, per user
  • Time clock and timesheetsClocking on and off, breaks and approvals
  • Health and safetyIncident reports, investigations and sign-off
  • Equipment and servicingA register with hours and service reminders
  • Website formsEnquiry forms with photos and logic
  • Reminders and follow-upsAutomated emails and texts to customers
  • Customer portalCustomers' own page for jobs and invoices
  • Reports and dashboardsCharts and exports beyond the built-in reports
