Zelos showing cleaning crew dispatch with job locations and claim status
  • Job dispatch
  • Built-in messaging
  • Zone-based targeting
  • Completion tracking
  • Timesheet exports
  • Free with unlimited cleaners

You post jobs. Cleaners claim them. Properties get cleaned.

1

Post cleaning jobs

Create jobs with the property address, scope of work, time window, and any special requirements. Publish to your full team or target cleaners by zone, availability, or certification.

2

Cleaners claim

Your crew receives a push notification and claims jobs that fit their route and schedule. No dispatcher calling down a list. No back-and-forth texts. First qualified cleaner claims it.

3

Coordinate on the go

Every job has its own chat channel. Share access codes, client notes, supply requirements, and photos. Cleaners report issues from the property without leaving the app.

4

Confirm and bill

Cleaners mark jobs complete with timestamps. Export reports for client invoicing, payroll, and quality tracking. No more handwritten timesheets or disputed hours.

Built for how cleaning businesses actually dispatch

Cleaners choose their jobs

Post available jobs and let cleaners claim based on proximity and availability. Faster fills, fewer no-shows, and cleaners who picked the job themselves.

No GPS tracking overhead

You don't need fleet telematics to dispatch a cleaner to an office. Zelos gives you job coordination and team communication without enterprise features you'll never use.

Free for unlimited cleaners

Add your entire crew — 5 cleaners or 500. The cost doesn't change. Paid plans unlock job volume and bulk features, not more headcount.

Timesheets that match reality

Cleaners confirm their own arrival and completion times in-app. Timestamped records ready for payroll and client billing. No disputes over handwritten logs.

Who uses Zelos for cleaning crew dispatch

Residential cleaning companies
Dispatch house cleaning, deep cleaning, and move-in/move-out jobs to cleaners by zone. Cleaners claim jobs near their area and confirm completion with timestamps. Export hours for client billing and crew payroll.
Commercial office cleaning
Post nightly, weekly, and periodic cleaning tasks across office buildings and business parks. Target jobs by zone and clearance level. Job-specific chat lets cleaners report supply needs or maintenance issues directly.
Airbnb and vacation rental turnovers
Dispatch turnover cleans between guest checkouts and check-ins with tight time windows. Cleaners see available turnovers and claim what fits their schedule. Urgency and self-signup means same-day turnovers get filled fast.
Property management companies
Coordinate cleaning, common area maintenance, and move-out inspections across a portfolio of properties. Dispatch by building or zone. Track completion for tenant-facing reporting and contractor payments.
Post-construction and specialist cleaning
Dispatch post-build cleandowns, window cleaning, and carpet treatments to specialist crews. Tag cleaners by training and equipment so only qualified people see specialist jobs.
Janitorial service contractors
Manage a pool of janitorial staff across multiple client sites. Post daily, weekly, and ad-hoc tasks. Cleaners claim shifts at facilities they're familiar with. Export timestamped reports for each client contract.

"There are a lot options out there that follow an org. structure, but very few options that allow for ad hoc team management on the go. Zelos excels at this."

Frequently asked questions

Is Zelos free for cleaning companies?
Yes. Unlimited cleaners, job posting, messaging, and CSV exports on the free plan. No credit card required. Paid plans add unlimited jobs, bulk upload, and full job history.
Can I dispatch by zone or area?
Yes. Tag cleaners by zone, neighbourhood, or service area. Post jobs only to cleaners who cover that area. Cleaners in other zones don't see irrelevant jobs.
Can cleaners confirm their hours in the app?
Yes. Cleaners mark job start and completion times in-app. You get timestamped records for payroll and client billing — no paper timesheets, no disputes.
Can I share access codes and client notes?
Yes. Every job has its own chat channel. Share lockbox codes, alarm details, special instructions, and client preferences. Only the cleaner assigned to that job sees the information.
Does Zelos include GPS tracking?
No. Zelos is a dispatch and coordination tool, not a fleet tracker. If you need job dispatch, team messaging, and completion tracking without GPS overhead, Zelos fits. If you need live location tracking, you'll need a dedicated fleet tool.
How do cleaners join?
Share your invite link via text or email. Cleaners follow the link, create a profile, and start seeing available jobs in minutes. No app download required — Zelos works in any browser.
Can I manage multiple client contracts from one account?
Yes. Use groups and targeting to organise jobs by client, building, or contract. Cleaners see only the jobs relevant to their assignments.
How is Zelos different from cleaning business software like ZenMaid or Jobber?
ZenMaid and Jobber are full cleaning business platforms with client booking, CRM, invoicing, and route optimisation. Zelos focuses specifically on crew dispatch and coordination — getting the right cleaner to the right job with minimal admin overhead. It's simpler, cheaper, and designed for self-signup rather than top-down scheduling.
