How Night Shift Commercial Cleaning outgrew phone-based clock-ins — and never looked back

A clock-in system from a different era

When Allen Roen started Night Shift Commercial Cleaning Services in Iowa 13 years ago, the technology simply didn’t exist — at least as it relates to apps. The team ran on a telephone-based clock-in system, and at the time, it worked well.

But as the years went on and the business grew, it stopped being enough. Allen needed technology that could help operations become more efficient, help the team get better — and make his own life easier as an owner.

Data for management, simplicity for the field

Allen looked at several different options and landed on Swept — and, in his words, has never looked back.

What makes it stick is the balance: management gets a genuinely data-driven tool with all the information it needs, while cleaners get a streamlined, simple app. Because Swept is purpose-built for the janitorial industry, one side doesn’t come at the cost of the other.

A great choice, thirteen years of operations later

For a business that started before operations apps existed, the payoff is one modern system serving both sides of the team: managers with the information they need at hand, and cleaners with an app they find genuinely easy to use. As Allen sums it up — it’s been a great choice.
