Connectivity for cleaning services

Teams work in clients' homes and offices on tight schedules. The customer calls once. If nobody answers, they call the next company on the list.

Internet, wireless and security for cleaning services

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

Booking, staffing and payroll are handled through online tools.

Wireless

Teams check in, receive changes and report issues from the client's site.

Security

Keys, alarm codes and building access information demand tight control.

Forty cleaners and no way to reach them all

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

Schedules change by the hour. A client cancels, a key is missing, someone is unwell. The office is making forty separate calls to forty personal phones.

What a consultant changes

Telecom Agency sets up messaging and check-in from one business system, on plans priced for a workforce that mostly needs data, not minutes. A broker knows those plans exist and which providers offer them, because comparing them is the whole job.

How Telecom Agency shops the market for cleaning services

The advice
An advisor recommends one system for messaging and check-in, on mobile plans built for staff who need data more than voice, and compares providers offering those plans.
The price
For a large, changing workforce, per-line cost matters most. Plans are negotiated on volume, with the freedom to add and drop lines as staff turn over.
The service
Lines are activated and cancelled as people join and leave, so you never pay for a phone in a drawer. The advisor audits the account regularly.
  • No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
  • Every provider compared, none favoured
  • One contact for every carrier
  • Reviews and support after the install
