Is “data” a four-letter word in your book? In the day-to-day struggle to Get Stuff Done, collecting and using data can take a backseat to… pretty much everything. It’s never going to be the most urgent thing on your plate. But it is one of the most important. So don’t just live with a guilty, nagging suspicion that you should really be collecting more data. And don’t collect lots of data, and then never bother Read more…

We believe a great inspection process is the key to growing your business, managing your team, and satisfying your clients. We’ve seen the benefits firsthand while helping hundreds of BSCs get the most out of our OrangeQC janitorial inspection software.
We’re thrilled to share a huge development on the OrangeQC app: now, any user can log into our mobile app to manage tickets.
In 2009, we built the first version of OrangeQC to help cleaning companies track and improve quality within their facilities. OrangeQC began as an intuitive software alternative to paper checklists. We consider ourselves to be technology pioneers in an industry that is more than 90% dominated by paper solutions, and we are on a mission to show the benefits of managing inspections with cloud-based software. Our team believes a dynamic and easy-to-use inspection solution is essential to the long-term success of any cleaning company.
Recently, the OrangeQC team made the switch to a new help desk software due to unforeseen circumstances with our existing provider. Our old vendor was acquired by a larger company and we found they were taking the software in a direction that didn’t align with our needs.
Luckily, we had an established contingency plan in case one of our vendor partnerships failed.
World-class service really begins with a thorough checklist.
Take air travel for example. Airlines are in the business of getting travellers to and from destinations quickly and safely; they’re responsible for thousands of lives every day. For a successful flight, airplanes and pilots need to meet a set of standard safety requirements prior to take-off. Planes come with a variety of checklists that simplify complex processes, including an engine-failure checklist, a pre-boarding checklist, and a cleared for take-off checklist. The last thing anyone wants is for a pilot to forget what to do during a time of crisis. Having a checklist on hand can remove the guesswork that comes with time-sensitive, critical issues like in-flight emergencies. In the case of flying, a proper checklist can save the lives of thousands of people.
