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.

  1. Starting point

    Requests about cleaning estimates landed in a shared inbox that several people watched between other duties. Nobody could see who had taken responsibility for what.

  2. The problem

    Day to day with cleaning estimates, some inquiries got two answers and others got none. Holiday cover turned into a forensic exercise through the inbox before anyone dared reply.

What we built

Each request arrives with property size, cleaning frequency and access arrangements, is assigned to a responsible person, and shows its follow-up state. Cover is arranged in advance, not discovered in a crisis.
