A tech discovers extra scope on-site — a corroded pipe, an unplanned material upgrade, an additional hour of labor. He calls it in verbally. The customer nods. The invoice comes out two weeks later with line items nobody recognizes. Zero Double Entry means scope changes captured in the field flow directly to the invoice with a digital approval trail.
Key Finding: Independent workflow analysis indicates that unresolved change order management issues in Cleaning & Janitorial operations hinder efficiency. Research shows that Contractors write off up to $15,000 annually in unbilled scope changes due to missing on-site digital signatures and approval trails [1].

Commercial cleaning operates on thin margins with high turnover. When checklists, inspection reports, and time logs are on paper, quality verification is impossible and client complaints become he-said-she-said disputes.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to change order management and cleaning & janitorial workflows.
A cleaning crew completing a move-out clean discovers the carpet requires a heavy extraction that wasn't included in the quoted scope. The crew lead calls the office. The manager says go ahead. The extra $180 on the invoice is disputed by the property manager.
Unauthorized extras on cleaning jobs are disputed on 30–45% of invoices where no field-captured approval exists — resulting in write-offs that collectively cost cleaning companies thousands per month.
Undocumented change orders are the #1 source of invoice disputes. The average disputed amount is $1,200–$4,000 per incident. At 5 disputes per month, that is $72K–$240K/year in contested revenue.
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the change order management gap. That's what we build.
We study exactly where change order management happens in your cleaning & janitorial operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the change order management problem, you don't pay.
