Top Reasons You Should Choose Scheduling Manager Software for Your Carpet Cleaning Business
Take Your Carpet Cleaning Business Mobile
We know that carpet care employees are always on the move and now you can take all the business tools to the field with you with the SM-Mobile App.
SM-Mobile keeps the technician current with their work schedule and the client’s needs. They can take notes, complete jobs, edit estimates from the field, and upload and edit custom PDF forms. The techs can also take photos related to each job, capture a client’s signature, produce invoices, and process payments, including credit cards.
With the GPS tracking feature, they’ll be ready to head to the next job, with the information handily displayed on their mobile device. SM-Mobile App runs on both Apple and Android devices.
Mapping & Route Optimization
Mapping features integrated into our software for carpet cleaning businesses will help you determine optimal routes, calculate travel time between jobs, and even find the ideal tech to assign for each job with our “Find the Best Employee” feature.
By making suggestions for job booking based on when your employees will be in the same area, it reduces trip times between jobs and increasing overall efficiency.
Importantly, integrated mapping tools also allow you to optimize daily routes for each technician, saving significant time and lowering your company’s gas bill. And, perhaps the employee can fit in an extra job for the day with the time saved, further increasing your profits!
Scheduling Manager’s built-in mapping features work with Google Maps, MapQuest, and Yahoo Maps and are available on our SM-Mobile App.
GPS Tracking Lets You Know Where Your Employees Are
Accurately track your employees and always know when they arrive at the workplace. Our SM-Mobile App records the location of each employee every 5 minutes and when the employee checks in to the job the time and GPS location is recorded. This means you can always verify if the employee was actually on-site and may also prove useful if you need to prove to a client that your employee was actually at their location at the specified time.
These GPS tracking tools, included as part of our SM-Mobile App, provide the capabilities equal to many expensive dedicated GPS systems, with no additional cost to you!
Equipment Tracking and Maintenance
With our Equipment Tracking Module, you can record where your equipment is at any time. Suppose you are leaving fans or heaters at a client site while you dry the premises out as part of a restoration project, then you simply record the fact in the Equipment Module, and you’ll be automatically reminded to retrieve the equipment after a certain user-defined period.
Using the Equipment Tracking features, you’ll always know exactly where your carpet cleaning assets are at any time.You can also keep track of maintenance performed on each piece of equipment, and parts information for the equipment.
Effective Marketing Outreach
Marketing doesn’t have to be a guessing game with Scheduling Manager‘s Integrated Email Module. It’s easy to create bulk e-mailing campaigns to convert leads, market to current customers, or email a select subset of all contacts. You can use one of our pre-defined mail merge templates, or create your own using Microsoft Word.
You can send reminder cards to all customers periodically. Send interim brochures suggesting furniture or drapery cleaning, spot removal, odor control and other services you offer. We provide you with many options and several different criteria for making a selection of customers or prospective customers to send the mailing to.
One feature our carpet cleaning customers love is the ability to send email reminders to clients who last had a carpet, rug or other item cleaned 6 months ago (or whatever period you specify). Such reminders are an invaluable source of renewal business, as clients appreciate the thoughtful reminders and are more likely to book additional services.
Integrated Text Messaging
The SMS/text message feature allows you to send mass texts of your jobs to employees. You can select a predefined message with a click of a button that contains all job information. You can also type a custom message for customers or employees. You can also easily send appointment reminders with text messages to all customers who want them.
Integrated Caller ID
The Caller-ID feature shows incoming calls as a pop-up on your screen, allowing you to quickly access the customer’s record with just a click. Details of incoming and outgoing calls are recorded with the Phone Activity Log. An invaluable add-on feature which improves customer service and saves time for your office staff.
Integrated Accounts Receivable
Scheduling Manager includes invoices, statements, payments, account balances, aging reports, and everything else that a carpet cleaning business needs to keep accurate track of the finances and remain profitable. The integrated accounting functions mean that you can create invoices automatically when you complete a job, see a customer’s account balance immediately when you look at their information screen, and produce aging reports, sales reports and profitability reports in a flash! You also have options to integrate with QuickBooks, MYOB, Sage and several other popular accounting packages.
Sales Productivity Reports
Variety of sales-related reports in Scheduling Manager enable you to determine how your carpet cleaning business is doing in real-time. You can analyze sales by Source and determine which advertising methods result in the most new customers. You can also analyze sales by work type, to determine which specific services provided by your carpet care business are actually the most profitable. To see how your sales force is doing, you can break down sales by salesperson and determine commissions due to each salesperson and referring agent.
The extent to which your techs might be “up-selling” your services is an important metric for carpet cleaning business and you can run Actual vs. Budget reports, comparing the actual sales figures with those initially estimated, to help you determine that.

Do you pay your employees by the hour, on commission, or by the number of carpets, rugs and upholstered furniture cleaned? Scheduling Manger handles all that and more!
