Prove the work. Keep the client.
Photos, notes, and timestamps attached to every resolution. Cleaning quality control that clients can see — no disputes, no chasing updates.
What is proof of work software for cleaning companies?
Proof of work software for cleaning companies creates a timestamped record of completed work that operators can show clients on demand. Each record bundles a scan timestamp, the team member who closed the task, photo evidence, and any notes attached at resolution — all tied to a specific zone.
Proof of work is distinct from worker surveillance: the record is generated by the cleaner actively completing and documenting a task, not by continuous background tracking.
Cleaning contractors use it to defend their work during contract reviews, reduce client follow-up calls, and document quality during shifts when no supervisor is on site. The pattern is now standard for janitorial and building service contractors that want to retain contracts at renewal without manually compiling reports.
What breaks without it
Texts, paper logs, and memory cover the gap — until a client asks what happened, when, and by whom.
No clear record when clients question completed work
Supervisors verifying quality through calls and paper logs
Proof that's slow, vague, or inconsistent

Common questions
What counts as 'proof of work' in CleanScan?
A proof-of-work record bundles a zone scan, completion timestamp, the assigned team member, and any photos or notes attached at resolution. Clients see the same record their service provider does — there's no separate report to prepare.
Can clients see the proof in real time?
Yes. When a contractor enables the client portal for a service relationship, the facility sees resolved issues, attached photos, and timestamps as they happen — no daily report email required.
Is this surveillance of cleaning workers?
No. CleanScan does not track location continuously or run in the background. Workers create records by actively scanning a tag and completing a task — the activity is the record, not surveillance.
