No credit card · No onboarding call · Launch in a day
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
Confirm and bill
Cleaners mark jobs complete and submit their actual start and end times. Hoursheets export as CSV for client invoicing and payroll. No more handwritten timesheets.
What cleaning companies replace with Zelos
Built for how cleaning businesses actually dispatch
Cleaners choose their jobs
Post available jobs and let cleaners claim based on proximity and availability. Fewer calls, and cleaners who picked the job themselves. Or assign a job to someone and they accept or decline.
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 submit their actual start and end times when they finish a job. Hoursheets are 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 mark jobs complete. 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 move-out cleans, common-area cleaning and turnovers across a portfolio of properties. Send jobs by building or zone, and export hoursheets for client billing. For maintenance and repair callouts, see service dispatch.
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. Hoursheets export as CSV for each client contract.
What crew managers say about Zelos
"The ease of use for setting up tasks! Registering is easy as well. I haven't had any issues with my members registering and signing up for tasks."
Paola S.
HOA Board Member
Real Estate
"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."
Marek M.
Owner
Management Consulting
"Offers similar functionality to the expensive app used by our national parent charity - an impressive feat for a free app!"
Martin C.
Secretary
Environmental Services
Free for cleaning teams of any size
No credit card, no trial expiration. Pro is a flat monthly fee — never per cleaner. No per-job fees. No hidden charges.
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 submit their actual start and end times. Hoursheets export as CSV 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 sort 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 all-in-one cleaning business platforms. 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.
