Cleaning
Cleaning staff scheduling, from rota to payslip.
Put your cleaners on the rota for every contract, see who has arrived on site, and approve their hours for payroll. One app for the office and every cleaner.
Free for up to 5 people. Standard and Pro free for 14 days.
Built for cleaning
Every contract, on every cleaner’s phone.
Employee management for cleaning companies: from a handful of cleaners on one contract to a team of thirty across many sites.
The rota
Plan the shifts for every contract, early mornings and evenings included. Each cleaner sees their own shifts and gets a reminder.
Clock in on site
Your cleaners clock in on their phone, even with no signal. Only within a set distance of the site, if you want.
Distance check on Standard and Pro
Timesheets and payroll
Hours add up from the rota. You approve them, then export them for Xero, Sage or QuickBooks.
Payroll and exports on Pro

Questions from cleaning companies
What cleaning companies ask us.
Can I check cleaners are at the right site?
Yes, on Standard and Pro. Give each contract its address and the app only lets cleaners clock in within a set distance of it: 300 metres unless you change it, from 100 metres to 2 kilometres.
Does it work in basements and car parks with no signal?
Yes. Your cleaners can clock in and out with no signal. The times are kept on the phone and sent as soon as it is back online.
Do my cleaners need to pay?
No. Only the company pays. Your cleaners download the app for free on iPhone or Android and join with your invite.
Can cleaners see each other’s pay?
No. Pay and the team’s hours are for managers. Cleaners see their own shifts, hours and tasks.
How much does it cost?
Free for up to 5 people and 2 projects. Standard is £35 a month and Pro £69 a month, for up to 30 people, or less if you pay yearly. Extra people are £4 each a month. Try Standard or Pro free for 14 days.

Build Halt is a workforce management app for the deskless workforce: teams who work on sites, on the road or on the shop floor rather than at a desk. It covers employee management from the rota and clock-in to timesheets, tasks, time off and pay, on a phone or on the web. It is made by Build Halt Limited, a UK company, and is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
