Ratings reflect verified customer reviews on Capterra, GetApp, and Software Advice as of July 2026 (51 verified reviews). Feature ratings are drawn from reviewers who scored those features. Scores may change as new reviews are added.
Here is what that score looks like in the real world, in our customers’ own words. We have organized it the way you would evaluate software: one feature at a time.
Proof of Service With QR Codes
The hardest part of commercial cleaning is not the cleaning. It is proving the work happened. That is exactly why we built our QR Code (Quick Response code) tools. We put a scannable code right at the point of work, so the record builds itself. Your cleaners scan to pull up the checklist for a room with Scan4Clean, your supervisors scan to run an inspection with Scan2Inspect, and the public can scan to rate an area or flag a problem in real time.
The payoff shows up as validation. Instead of taking a complaint at face value, you have a time-stamped record of who cleaned what and when.
“The QR codes have really changed the game for us. We used to get small complaints with no validation. Now we get them in real time.”
Zachary B. | President, Hospitality | Capterra
“The QR codes are great for managing quality checks.”
Gianluca C.| Owner, Facilities Services | Capterra
Quality Inspections Built Around Your Standards
Our inspections are not one fixed form. You build the checks around your own standards and your client’s priorities, then delegate them to your supervisors. Run recurring inspections for routine assurance, or open an ad hoc check the moment a problem area comes up. Attach photos as proof, and use weighted scoring so a failed restroom sanitization counts for more than a missed dusting task.
The reason this matters is retention. Consistent, documented inspections are what keep a client from quietly shopping for a new contractor.
“What I like the most about Janitorial Manager is the monthly Quality inspections I’ve been able to create to our company’s needs and delegate them to supervisors/management.”
Jessica D. | Health and Safety Coordinator, Consumer Services | GetApp
Timekeeping and GPS Geofencing
Our timekeeping does two jobs at once. It records accurate hours for payroll, and it confirms the right person was on-site. Every time punch captures GPS coordinates and checks them against the location’s geofence, and we will flag a shift where no one has clocked in so you can fill the gap before your client notices. Facial recognition and geofencing shut down buddy punching, the quiet payroll leak that inflates your labor cost.
“I like the Geo Fence clocking in and out mostly. It appears if no one has clocked into the shift to make sure you have coverage.”
Elton B. | Owner, Facilities Services | Capterra
“We use it to keep track of our employees clocking in and clocking out which helps us make sure our buildings are covered. As well as helps us with payroll.”
Stacey B. | Franchise Owner, Facilities Services | Capterra

Every review here points back to a tool you can try against your own buildings and crews. Schedule a discovery call and see how we help you standardize routines, prove the work, and keep clients longer.
Scheduling You Can Set and Forget
Scheduling is where most cleaning operations lose hours every week. We let you build recurring schedules once and leave them running, post open shifts your cleaners can claim when someone calls off, and clock in whole crews as a team. Your cleaners see their assignments up to 45 days out and get notified when a shift is published, so fewer people show up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
When our customers ask us for improvements, we act on them. Here is how one long-time customer puts it.
“JM is responsive to our enhancement requests and actively seeks to make improvements to the system. We’ve been with them for years and have no plans to make a change.”
Dave B. | Owner, Facilities Services| Capterra
Inventory and Supply Management
Supplies are a budget line that leaks when nobody is watching it. We handle supply requests by location and, for larger operations, track inventory down to the closet level with reorder points, reconciliations, and an audit trail that surfaces unusual usage. In plain terms, we help you stop running out of paper towels, and stop overspending to prevent it.
“I have used all functions of Janitorial Manager. Even the inventory to help me maintain supplies and make sure I am not exceeding my budget.”
Elton B. | Owner, Facilities Services| Software Advice
Reporting and Real Accountability
Reporting is where we turn activity into decisions. Instead of managing to what employees report, you manage to what the system records: actual versus budgeted time per job, inspection scores over time, and performance trends you can chart. That is the difference between a hunch about a site and a number you can act on.
“I love gaining the ability to manage to a real number not just what is reported by employees. JM has given us the ability to gain efficiency and streamline operations.”
Dawn M.| Controller, Consumer Services| Capterra
“Bar code scanning, reporting and thoughtful programming features such as having different pay scales per job.”
Michael R.| Owner, Business Supplies and Equipment| Software Advice
Client Portal and Two-Way Communication
A lot of contracts are won and kept on communication, not just cleaning. We give your clients their own portal to request supplies, report an issue, and watch a request move from opened to resolved. You share inspection results and reports on demand, and the customer portal even toggles between English and Spanish. The result is a client who feels heard, and a record that protects you if a dispute ever comes up.
“We can monitor the areas to ensure they’re being serviced within the software and the ability to share reports with the customer as needed or requested. Customers can provide feedback or make requests, enabling us to respond promptly.”
Raul M. | Program Manager, Construction | Capterra
“We like that it has two sides to it, a customer side and an employee side. It allows us to keep track of everything customer as well as everything employee.”
Dave B. | Owner, Facilities Services | Capterra
Everything in One Platform
The theme we hear most in reviews is consolidation. Customers come to us from a stack of separate tools, or from a competitor that did less, and the win they describe is having scheduling, timekeeping, inspections, supplies, and communication in one place. Running one system is simpler, and cheaper, than stitching several together.
“JM has a significantly greater range, including timekeeping, all within the program.”
Kathy R. | Environmental Services| Software Advice
“The application is both intuitive and thorough. There are a variety of functions that support the diverse requirements of a professional cleaning company.”
Verified Reviewer | Facilities Services, 51 to 200 employees | Software Advice
Some customers name the switch directly. One moved off Swept because it was “lacking in features and were expensive,” and another chose us because we “offered more features in one program.”
US-Based Customer Support
Support is the part our customers rate highest, at 4.8 out of 5. We think that number matters because our platform is deep. It does a lot, and a lot of capability means there is a bit of a learning curve. Customers who mention that curve almost always mention the same fix in the same sentence: a US-based account manager who answers the phone and walks them through it.
“Janitorial Manager has fantastic customer support. When I have a question there is always an article to help. If the article doesn’t help, I can always ask a question. They respond very quickly.”
Sandy L. | Custodial Program Coordinator, Higher Education | Capterra
“So glad I am not relinquished to an AI bot or voice mail or email when I have questions needing resolved.”
Michael R. | Owner, Business Supplies and Equipment | Software Advice
“They have best customer service personnel. We utilized their services on multiple occasions, and they have consistently gone above and beyond to resolve any issues or concerns we have had.”
Kathy R. | Environmental Services | Software Advice
The Takeaway
Read the reviews together and a pattern forms. Our customers rate us 4.6 out of 5 because we do the two things a cleaning business lives on. We help you prove the work to your client, and we help you hold your crew accountable to a standard. The features carry the load, and our US-based team carries you through setup. That is why customers who have been with us for years say they have no plans to leave.
