Jobber for cleaning and janitorial companies: a calendar with seats, or a board without them.
Jobber is a good calendar with a published price and a seat for every extra person. For cleaning and janitorial companies, Thorbis is a dispatch board rather than a calendar, one posted price for the company, and a crew that is never a seat count.

The work
The days cleaning and janitorial companies run, on either system.
01
Nightly janitorial
Site-specific frequencies and rotations on a balanced schedule, and when someone calls out, the shift is offered to qualified staff instead of chased by phone.
02
The quality program
Randomized inspection walks with photos and scores on the site record. A low score opens a corrective action, not a shrug.
03
Post-construction turnover
Multi-day turnovers with phase checklists and crew assignments, closed by a signed punch list.
The difference
Jobber beside Thorbis, for cleaning and janitorial companies.

Clients notice the gap first
Call-outs and shift swaps create coverage holes the account manager hears about from the customer.

Nobody knows which account loses money
Without hours and supplies per site, the underpriced contract renews at the same price.
