Changing your current process can be a big hassle, whether it be by hand, excel or a non-field service specific software. It can take time, resources and cause you stress. But in spite of all these things there’s a good reason a massive percentage of maid services are moving away from old-fashioned methods and over to maid service software like ZenMaid ( www.ZenMaid.com ).

What are the reasons to use maid service software? Here are 6.

1. No More Paperwork The biggest visible change for most maid services that move to a field service software is their own offices are immediately cleaner.

There are plenty of other benefits as well. You can’t search for information if it’s on paper. Paper gets lost and can be spilled on, ripped or destroyed in a variety of ways. With ZenMaid almost all of your paper will disappear and at the same time your information, whatever it may be, will be more available than ever before.

2. No More Missing Job Details

Instead of handwriting job details you’ll be entering service specifics directly into your software. These details will be available to you on any document you want, whether it be selecting which rooms to do via a dropdown menu or typing in a text entry that Sally needs her shoes lined up.

Any information you’ve entered into your maid service software, you can generate on invoices, work orders and more with ZenMaid.

3. No More Snail Mail for Payment You get paid faster!

Virtually all maid service software​ can instantly generate and send your invoices on a timer of your choosing. You no longer have to worry about collecting and chasing money. Once an appointment is complete ZenMaid will automatically send an invoice to your customer (if you want) so your customers have everything they need to pay immediately. If you collect from customer ahead of time we help with that too!

4. No More Duplicate Data Entry!

Personally, we at ZenMaid think this is the sole biggest reason to use any field service software. If you’re currently using excel sheets or doing things by hand, you definitely have to re-enter information over and over again. Even if you’re copy-pasting the information in that time adds up over each month. With maid service software you’ll never have to enter duplicate info again. Pick your customer for an appointment, invoice, work order or anything else and all of their information will automatically populate/appear.

It doesn’t get any easier than this.

5. No More Calculating Employee Hours

Assign your cleaners to each of your appointments and enter how many hours you owe them after the appointment is completed. Whenever you need to do payroll your maid service software will immediately aggregate all of the appointments each employee was involved in and calculate how much you owe them.

6. Reports – Know what’s going on in your business

Virtually all maid service software will allow you to quickly pull up an easy to review report on how your business is doing. See how much revenue you’ve brought in during the past week or month, which employees are working the most hours and just about any other information you have entered in your system.

What you need and want to see, at your fingertips. Anytime you want.
