We build solutions for your commercial cleaning company.
When spreadsheets or off-the-shelf apps stop fitting, Colby builds the missing piece around your operation and continues supporting you after the launch.
Three engagements, three numbers that moved.
We connect to your stack. We don't replace it.
Keep the tools your team already knows. What we build reads from them and writes back to them, so nobody retypes a building into a second system.

Three bottlenecks we've taken out, shown end to end.
The quote, the timesheet and the follow-up stop living in separate places.
Bid app, inspection app, time clock, payroll, a shared drive and a group text. Somebody retypes the same building into all of them, and follow-up slips through the seams.
Pricing stops living in one person's head.
Every walkthrough waited on the owner and one spreadsheet, so bids went out days after the prospect had already talked to two other companies. We put that same pricing model into an app the reps use inside the building.
Off-the-shelf is right for most operators — until it isn't.
The line is simple: keep buying software until the workflow that wins your accounts is the one thing the tool won't do. We build that piece, and tell you at the readout if you don't need us.
You see the map before you spend a dollar on software.
Discover
We ride along. Night walks, bid walks, the Friday payroll scramble. You leave with a map of how the work actually runs, on paper.
Readout
A build menu priced item by item and ranked by payback. You pick what gets built first — or whether anything does.
Build
Working software in your team's hands every week of the build. No big reveal at the end, no surprise invoice.
Run
We host what we ship and answer the phone when it breaks. Changes keep coming as the company grows.
Four things, and we only do the ones you need.
Operations audit
Three weeks on site and on your calls. A written map of how the work moves, where it stalls, and what each stall costs in hours and lost bids. Yours to keep, whether you build anything or not.
Custom software
When the off-the-shelf app won't do the one thing that wins you accounts, we build that piece around your operation: quoting, inspections, dispatch, job costing, onboarding.
Automation where it pays
Call notes written up before you hang up. Bid tasks that create themselves. Follow-ups drafted in your own words. Nothing sends, posts or spends on its own — a person approves anything that leaves the building.
We run it after
You are not left holding a codebase. Colby hosts and maintains what we ship. When something breaks at six in the morning, the person who answers is the person who wrote it.
We're a fit for some companies and not others.
Saying this up front saves us both a call. If you're on the good-fit list, get in touch. If you're not, we'll tell you on the first call rather than take the money.
- $3M to $50M in annual revenue, 50+ cleaners
- You've outgrown the spreadsheet and the off-the-shelf app both
- One workflow is visibly costing you accounts or margin
- The owner or ops lead will give us real access for three weeks
- Under ten accounts — an off-the-shelf app is cheaper and we'll say so
- Looking for a body shop to build a spec someone else wrote
- Nobody internally can make a decision in under a month
The questions we get on every first call.
Pricing is the short version: fixed fee for discovery, priced menu after, flat monthly to run it. Nothing open-ended.
“Isn't AI going to make things up in front of my client?”
Nothing we build sends, posts or spends without a person clicking the button. Drafts stay drafts. Claims that aren't in your own records get blocked before they ship.
“My crews won't use another app.”
Fair. That's why we spend three weeks watching them work before we build anything. If a tool adds a step to a cleaner's night, it's the wrong tool and we won't ship it.
“What if I already pay for software?”
Most operators should keep it — we connect to QuickBooks, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Swept, OrangeQC and the rest. We build the one piece the tool won't do. If off-the-shelf covers you, we'll tell you at the readout.
“What does it cost?”
Discovery is a fixed fee quoted before we start, based on the size of your operation and how many sites we walk. Builds are priced per line item with an expected payback next to each. Running it is a flat monthly — no per-seat pricing that punishes you for hiring.
“What happens if you disappear?”
You own the code and the data, and we document the handoff from day one. The maintenance agreement is a service you choose to keep, not a lock-in.
Free reading, written from inside the work.
