When people talk about control in a cleaning business, they usually mean knowing what is happening: who is where, which jobs are done, what money is owed.

Many cleaning business owners know something is not working, but are not sure whether it is time to change systems. The business is busy, customers are mostly happy and the old way just about copes.
