What Swept is

Swept is built for commercial cleaning, where the operational problems are different: dispersed night crews, multiple buildings, language barriers, and supply requests. It handles location-based clock-in, shift problem reporting, translated messaging between office and cleaners, and supply tracking by site.

Best for

Janitorial contractors with night crews across multiple buildings

Watch out

Residential cleaning companies are not the target and will find the model awkward.

What it does well

  • Location-verified clock-in for dispersed crews
  • Automatic message translation for multilingual teams
  • Supply request and tracking per building
  • Shift problem alerts to supervisors

Integrates with

Payroll providers ยท QuickBooks

Integration lists change often and "integrates" can mean anything from a real two-way sync to a one-way push through Zapier. Ask the vendor which fields move, in which direction, and how often.

Before you commit

  • Geofencing and GPS need a clear written policy. Document it, have it signed, and keep it reasonable.
  • Check break and overtime rules for your state are enforced automatically โ€” this is a wage-claim risk, not a convenience.
  • Cost codes are what turn time tracking into job costing. Make sure techs can pick one in two taps.
  • Offline capture is essential. Basements and new construction have no signal.
  • Confirm it exports to your payroll provider in a format that imports cleanly.

How to judge it in a trial

Run one real job through it end to end โ€” not the demo data. Quote it, schedule it, do it, invoice it, take the payment. Then ask the only question that matters on day 400: did the people who have to use this every day find it faster than what they do now? Friction you notice in week one compounds forever, and tool-hopping costs more than any feature gap.
