Turnover and changeover
A fallback for when the cleaning estimates form fails
What changed: For cleaning estimates, a bad day is now an inconvenience rather than a lost customer.
- Client
- Holiday let changeover cleaning team
- Region
- Roanoke, Virginia
- Team
- 12 staff, one locally managed operation
- Timeline
- 20 working days
If a cleaning estimates request cannot go through, people can see another way to reach us. I am glad it was considered before we needed it.
Where the team started
Before the rebuild, in the order the client described it: the site they had, and what it cost them day to day.
- Starting point
The cleaning estimates inquiry route was a single point of failure. A broken form meant a lost customer and nobody the wiser.
- The problem
Day to day with cleaning estimates, failures were invisible from both sides: customers could not report them, and the team had no test that would reveal them.
What we built
An alternative contact route now sits openly on the page, alongside errors that explain themselves and guidance for follow-up messages. A delivery check exercises the real form, including property size, cleaning frequency and access arrangements, to confirm mail reaches its destination.
