Communication tools that keep everyone on the same page
Assign work to custodians and keep track with real-time notifications
If there’s a problem at one of your buildings, real-time notifications and alerts notify the right people. Assign school cleaning inspections and corrective actions to specific staff members or teams, so that everyone’s on the same page about who’s responsible for what. Our software for schools allows you to add photos, GPS, and timestamps to create a trustworthy record and help with employee training and reviews.
Showcase your quality control with custom reporting
Keep school and district administration in the loop on classroom cleanliness
Our K-12 and high school maintenance software automatically sends regular updates with the performance indicators most important to your school and district leadership. Clear, transparent communication builds trust in the work your team is doing.
The School District of Indian River County uses OrangeQC to centralize their custodial services, transforming a process that each school used to manage independently.
