The "Invoice Overload" Problem
Chasing handwritten paper receipts from field crews after every residential or commercial cleaning job, often smudged or incomplete
Manual matching of invoices to detailed cleaning schedules, client contracts, and add-on services like carpet shampooing or floor waxing
Delayed approvals for cleaning supplies like industrial detergents, eco-friendly wipes, or vacuum rentals, eating into profits during high-volume periods
Errors in subcontractor payments for specialized tasks like deep cleans, window washing, or pressure washing exteriors, leading to disputes and rework
End-of-month scramble reconciling invoices with QuickBooks for services like post-construction cleanups, missing early payment discounts on bulk supplies
Lost visibility on vendor costs for supplies during peak seasons like holiday office cleanings or spring deep cleans for residential properties

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Cost Savings That Scale with Your Cleaning Business
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Processing
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Processing: Imagine your office manager spending less time sorting receipts from daily house cleanings and more on growing your client list for recurring apartment maintenance. Our AI handles data extraction from photos of supply checklists and matches them to job logs, freeing up hours for securing contracts with real estate firms. Cleaning businesses using our systems report a 25% productivity boost, turning admin time into revenue from upsells like oven deep cleans.
Achieve 3-6 Month ROI Through Faster Cash Flow
Achieve 3-6 Month ROI Through Faster Cash Flow: Manual invoicing delays payments from bi-weekly office cleanings or end-of-lease move-out services, tying up cash needed for restocking green cleaning solutions. Our automation accelerates approvals for vendor purchases and client billing, capturing early discounts worth 2-5% on bulk orders of disinfectants or mop heads. Clients see ROI in under six months, with one mid-sized firm recovering $12K annually in avoided late fees and optimized spend on seasonal supplies for holiday party cleanups.
Boost Efficiency by 35% with Error-Free Billing
Boost Efficiency by 35% with Error-Free Billing: Like a well-oiled vacuum that never clogs, our AI ensures every invoice detail—from square footage of hardwood floors cleaned to special requests for pet hair removal—syncs perfectly with field reports. This cuts disputes with window washing subcontractors and property owner clients, reducing rework by 40% on jobs like post-renovation dust-ups. Your team focuses on spotless results, not paperwork, leading to higher Net Promoter Scores and easier upsells for premium services like steam cleaning upholstery.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our two-person office was buried under invoices and crumpled receipts from weekly corporate office cleanings—it took us three full days to close the books each month, often missing details on supply usage. Now, the system pulls data straight from our scheduling app and scans field photos, and we're done in just four hours. Saved us about 18 hours a week, and our improved cash flow let us hire an extra crew for weekend residential jobs last quarter."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, Sparkle Clean Pros (Commercial and Residential Cleaning Service)
"We deal with seasonal spikes in invoices for holiday deep cleans of office spaces and homes, and manual entry always led to mistakes on orders for heavy-duty detergents. Their custom AI caught a $2,500 overcharge from a vendor on bulk sanitizer last month alone, during our busiest December rush. It's not flashy, but it just works—our accountant says we're processing 50% faster without the headaches of reconciling move-out service bills."
Tom Reilly
Owner, Elite Home Cleaners
"As a small cleaning service, juggling subcontractor bills for high-rise window jobs and exterior pressure washing was killing our margins with constant math errors. AIQ built this for our exact workflow, integrating with Xero to auto-match hours logged for each pane cleaned. In the first two months, we shaved off 12 hours of admin time per week and caught discrepancies that saved us $800 in overpayments on equipment rentals."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the irregular invoices from cleaning subcontractors?
Our AI is trained on your specific patterns, like variable rates for one-off deep cleans or ongoing maintenance. It extracts details from PDFs or emails, cross-references with your contracts, and flags mismatches for quick review. For a mid-sized cleaning firm we worked with, this reduced approval time from days to minutes, preventing overpayments and ensuring timely payouts. We customize the logic to your workflow, so it learns from your data over time for even better accuracy—no generic rules that miss the nuances of home services.
What if my team isn't tech-savvy—will they be able to use this system?
Absolutely, we design for real-world use in busy cleaning operations. The interface is intuitive, like checking off a job sheet, with mobile access for field uploads. After deployment, we provide hands-on training tailored to your crew's needs, plus ongoing support. One client, a family-run service with 20 employees, reported their office staff adapted in a week, saving 10 hours on invoicing without any IT headaches. It's built to fit your daily rhythm, not force a learning curve.
Can this integrate with our existing accounting software like QuickBooks?
Yes, we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with tools like QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks common in home services. The AI pushes processed invoices directly into your ledger, categorized by cleaning categories, and pulls back payment statuses for closed-loop tracking. This eliminates double-entry errors that plague manual setups. In a recent project for a cleaning company, integration cut their month-end reconciliation from 12 hours to under 2, boosting overall efficiency by 35%. We map it to your exact chart of accounts during setup.
How secure is the data in this invoice processing system?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive client details in cleaning contracts. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Data stays within your controlled environment, not shared across platforms. For instance, we've built systems for services handling commercial cleanings with strict privacy needs, ensuring invoice data from vendor bills never exposes job specifics. Regular audits and our in-house expertise mean your info is fortified like a locked supply closet—only authorized eyes see it.
What's the timeline for implementing this custom automation?
Typically, we deliver a fully functional system in 4-6 weeks, starting with a quick discovery call to understand your invoice volume from jobs like office or residential cleans. Week one maps your processes; weeks two to four build and test; and the final week deploys with training. For a similar cleaning business, we went live in five weeks, with immediate savings on their peak-season billing. It's agile—we prioritize high-impact features first, so you see benefits early without disrupting operations.
Will this scale if my cleaning business grows to more locations?
Definitely designed for growth. Our architecture handles expanding fleets, from single vans to multi-city operations, with centralized dashboards for all invoices. As you add routes or crews, the AI adapts to increased volume without performance dips. A client scaling from 5 to 15 teams saw seamless expansion, maintaining 20-hour weekly savings per location. We build in modularity, so adding features like multi-currency for international supplies is straightforward, keeping your ROI strong as you grow.
