A comparison of two of the leading scheduling softwares available on the market.
You’re a Maid Service owner who is considering between ZenMaid and ServiceAutopilot. This article will compare the two and which one we think is better for cleaning company owners like you.
Before anyone gets the idea this is some sort of “hate” article, please know ServiceAutopilot is a great software that helped pioneer our industry, and for that we are grateful. It simply isn’t the best option for residential cleaning companies in the 21st century.
Fortunately for Maid Service owners, where ServiceAutopilot falls short and isn’t specialized, ZenMaid is.
Check it out:
ZenMaid – Built by Maid Service owners for maid service owners
ZenMaid was created by Amar Ghose, who previously ran Fast Friendly Spotless in Orange County, CA. Since starting ZenMaid Amar has personally spoken with over 2000 Maid Service owners like you, and does so daily on the ZenMaid Mastermind (a free community for maid service owners like you).
ServiceAutopilot was not created for Maid Service owners specifically, and just as importantly, it was not built by Maid Service owners. We’re the first to point out their tool used to be the industry standard but ZenMaid’s specialized software just makes more sense for cleaning business owners.
ZenMaid vs ServiceAutopilot – Whose recommended by the Best in the Cleaning Industry?
ServiceAutopilot used to be one of the best Maid Service softwares available and we appreciate them greatly for leading the way in this industry. However, there’s a reason that ZenMaid has been endorsed by virtually every well known cleaning consultant … and you won’t hear a word about ServiceAutopilot, even from those using it!
You may have heard about ZenMaid from Debbie Sardone, Sharon Tinberg, Steve & Jean Hanson, Pam Washington, Mike Campion, Katie Pearse, or Martha Woodward.
There’s a very good reason we’re regularly mentioned by these cleaning minds.
But wait there’s more!
Free concierge onboarding
ZenMaid is the only software for Maid Services that offers true concierge onboarding. If you’re using ServiceAutopilot or another online system, you can send us your login information and we’ll move as much information over as we can.
We understand that getting setup on ServiceAutopilot was probably a nightmare but it’s no problem with ZenMaid. Make your move today and we’ll have you up and running very, very quickly.
Automated Communication with customers
No matter how you run your Maid Service, you have to finalize your schedule somewhere or you’d quickly go out of business. And if you do it in the ZenMaid calendar we’ll automatically confirm appointments, remind your customers of their cleanings, follow up after, and reach out automatically if they leave you.
ServiceAutopilot might help with one of those, ZenMaid does them all. Automatically.
Your employees will love the new communication clarity
At ZenMaid we consistently hear that both cleaners and customers love when a Maid Service switches from ServiceAutopilot. The convenience the system adds for ALL parties involved is second to none.
Your employees can choose to receive text updates, detailed email work orders, or can login to see their schedules. It’s fully customizable so they only see what you want!
Instant Booking
ServiceAutopilot might be helpful when it comes to managing your cleaning business but ZenMaid is designed to do even more, including to help you market and grow.
The ZenMaid Instant Booking form is designed beautifully for your business so you can turn your website visitors into paying, recurring customers.
Reporting
While ServiceAutopilot offers reporting, it’s not as specialized for your Maid Service as ZenMaid’s provided metrics. On the ZenMaid platform you’ll find out first where your leads are coming from and where to invest your marketing dollars.
Our specialized reporting breaks down the exact numbers you need to pay attention to DAILY to keep a running, healthy Maid Service.
After that we’ll show you how many recurring customers you’re getting, how much they’re paying you, and if they’re leaving you, all built in automatically to ZenMaid. If ServiceAutopilot isn’t easy enough for you to find the information you’ll need then you’ll love our solution.
Work with experts
ZenMaid is run by cleaning industry experts. You know Amar, our CEO, whose both run a cleaning business and consulted with hundreds of Maid Service. Additionally, each of our employees goes through Maid Service owner trainings from the industry consultants mentioned above.
