A comparison of two of the leading companies you should be considering for your maid service.
Youโre a maid service owner who is considering between ZenMaid and mhelpdesk. Weโve written a quick article on why you should try and use ZenMaid.
Before anyone gets the idea this is some sort of โhateโ article, please know mhelpdesk is a great software and a decent option for small businesses in OTHER service industries. It simply isnโt the best option for residential cleaning companies in the 21st century.
Fortunately for maid service owners, where mhelpdesk falls short and isnโt specialized, ZenMaid is.
Check it out:
ZenMaid โ 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)
Mhelpdesk was not created for maid service owners specifically, and just as importantly, it was not built BY maid service owners. At some point in the past Mhelpdeskโs tool might have been the industry standard but ZenMaidโs specialized software just makes more sense for maid service owners like you.
Recommended by the Best in the Cleaning Industry
Thereโs a reason that ZenMaid has been endorsed by virtually every well known cleaning consultant โฆ and you wonโt hear a word about mhelpdesk, 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.
Weโre regularly mentioned by the top cleaning minds in the industry because weโre specialized to help owners succeed.
But wait thereโs more!
Free concierge onboarding so you donโt waste time getting started โ Not offered by mhelpdesk
ZenMaid is the only software for maid services that offers true concierge onboarding. If youโre using mhelpdesk or another online system, you can send us your login information and weโll move as much information over as we can.
We understand that getting setup on mhelpdesk was probably a nightmare but itโs no problem with ZenMaid. Make your move today and weโll have you up and running very, very quickly.
No outside investors, meaning 100% focus on YOU
ZenMaid has taken on 0 (zero) outside investment since starting in 2013. The only people we answer to is you, our maid service customers. mhelpdesk has been taken over and no longer is accountable to only their customers.
Mhelpdesk is owned by HomeAdvisor (thatโs right) and have to answer to investors, analysts, and consultants.
ZenMaid, on the other hand, makes decisions based solely on whatโs best for our clients, the 200+ cleaning companies that use us across the Globe.
Automated Communication with cleaning customers
No matter how you run your maid service, you have to finalize your schedule somewhere or youโd quickly go out of business. And if you do it in the ZenMaid calendar weโll automatically confirm appointments, remind your customers of their cleanings, follow up after, and reach out automatically if they leave you.
mhelpdesk might help with one of those, ZenMaid does them all. Automatically.
Your cleaners will love the new communication clarity on ZenMaid
At ZenMaid we consistently hear that both cleaners and customers love when a maid service switches from mhelpdesk. 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. Itโs fully customizable so they only see what you want!
Instant Booking on your website
mhelpdesk 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.
Specialized Reporting for Maid Services
While mhelpdesk offers reporting, itโs not as specialized for your maid service as ZenMaidโs provided metrics. On the ZenMaid platform youโll 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 weโll show you how many recurring customers youโre getting, how much theyโre paying you, and if theyโre leaving you, all built in automatically to ZenMaid. If mhelpdesk isnโt easy enough for you to find the information youโll need then youโll love our solution.
Work with industry experts
ZenMaid is run by cleaning industry experts. You know Amar, our CEO, who has run both a cleaning business and consulted with hundreds of maid service owners. Additionally, each of our employees goes through maid service owner trainings from the industry consultants mentioned above.
