AI agents for operations teams in cleaning services
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the scheduling and crew apps your cleaning operations team already uses, from patching the rota by hand to a day board that flags clashes first.
Cleaning ops teams get back the hours lost to rota patching, route planning, and callout scrambles.

Where you spend your time
We know how your week actually goes
A cleaning operations lead holds a moving puzzle: forty homes and three office contracts, a dozen cleaners with their own keys, cars, allergies, and school runs, and a van that is always one bottle of degreaser short.
Actionist builds AI agents for cleaning operations that do the checking and rearranging, so you spend the morning solving real problems instead of finding them.
- A rota with no double-bookingsEvery cleaner, key holder, and two-person crew is placed before the week starts, and clashes are caught early.
- Stops ordered to cut drive timeEach cleaner's day is sequenced by zone and parking, so the third clean is not across town.
- Cover found for a calloutWhen someone is off sick at 6am, the first free qualified cleaner is lined up for your approval.
- Crews tracked through the dayLate arrivals and overruns surface while there is still time to move the next clean.
- Supplies never stop a jobChemicals, mop heads, and contract consumables are reordered from usage, not from a bare shelf.
- Built around your operationThese are examples. Build a custom agent for any job your ops team repeats.
And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..
An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Cleaning Services Operations team's day.
Where the hours go
The weekly rota gets rebuilt by hand every Friday afternoon, matching cleaners to bookings, keys, pets, and who a client will not have back, and it still breaks on Monday morning when someone texts in sick.
An agent drafts the rota from the booking list and your matching rules, flags every clash and unfilled home, and holds it for your approval, so Friday is a review instead of a rebuild.
A cleaner's day is planned in a hurry, so stops zig-zag across town, parking is an afterthought, and an hour of paid drive time disappears into the week without anyone seeing it.
An agent orders each cleaner's stops by zone and access window, accounts for the morning weather, and keeps a mileage log, so the day follows a sensible line and drive time is visible.
A callout at 6:15 starts a phone tree: who is free, who is qualified for that house, who has a key, and who has not already hit their hours. By the time someone says yes the first client is waiting.
An agent builds the cover shortlist the moment a callout is logged, messages the right cleaners in the crew app, and puts the first to confirm in front of you for sign-off.
Supplies run out at the worst time: the last bottle of descaler is in the van of a crew already on a contract site, and nobody notices until a cleaner texts that the clean cannot be finished properly.
An agent tracks usage against reorder levels per crew and contract site, drafts the supplier order ahead of time, and queues it for approval before anyone is working with an empty caddy.
Actionist Will Automate
What one automation looks like
A week with your Cleaning Services Operations agents
Some of the apps for your Cleaning Services Operations team
Some of the apps your cleaning operations agent works in. Hundreds more are in the Actionist App Store.
Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens
Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.
When a sickness report is logged in Connecteam, the agent reads that cleaner's stops for the day, checks which colleagues are free, qualified, and nearby, and posts a ranked shortlist in Slack within about a minute. You choose who is asked, and the rota changes only after the replacement confirms.

What your agent runs for you
- Rota150 min / weekBuilding next week's rota in the booking system
The scheduler matches cleaners to bookings by memory and by scrolling, trying to remember who is allergic to what and who a client refuses, and fixes clashes on Monday.
Rota Agent0 minAn agent drafts the rota against rules you setAn agent drafts the rota from the booking list and your matching rules, lists the homes it could not place, and holds the whole thing for your approval.
- Routes120 min / weekOrdering each cleaner's stops and logging mileage
Each day is sequenced by hand from a map, drive time is guessed, and mileage claims are reconstructed at the end of the month from memory.
Routes Agent0 minStops sequenced by zone, mileage loggedAn agent orders each day's stops by zone and access window, notes the weather, and keeps the weekly mileage sheet for payroll.
- Cover110 min / weekFinding a replacement for a callout
A text thread goes round the team while the first client waits, and the person who finally says yes may not hold the key or suit the house.
Cover Agent0 minA ranked cover shortlist in about a minuteAn agent shortlists qualified cleaners nearby, messages them in the crew app, and puts the first to confirm in front of you for approval.
- Day tracking90 min / weekWatching crews against the plan
Someone refreshes the app for check-ins, rings a cleaner who has gone quiet, and only learns a clean has overrun when the next client calls to ask where they are.
Day tracking Agent0 minLate starts and overruns flagged as they happenAn agent compares check-ins and finish times with the schedule, flags the late ones, and shows the next client's window so you can choose what to move.
- Supplies80 min / weekCounting stock and ordering from the van
Cleaners text when something runs out, the store is checked by eye, and the order goes in whenever someone remembers, usually after a clean has been done short.
Supplies Agent0 minStock tracked against usage, orders draftedAn agent tracks usage against reorder levels per van and contract site and drafts the supplier order for approval, before anyone is working with an empty caddy.

You stay in control
An agent working in your rota, routes, and crew messages only earns trust if you stay in control. Actionist is built so you approve what changes, see everything it touched, and keep every record it creates.
The agent drafts the rota, the cover choice, and any reassignment, then holds them for your sign-off. Nothing reaches a cleaner's day sheet until you have decided.
A revised arrival window, a rebooking, or a note about a turnover is drafted for you first. Nothing goes to a client or host on its own unless you widen that autonomy yourself.
The agent totals mileage and logged hours. Whether a late start matters, who gets extra shifts, and what is paid are decisions for a manager, never for the agent.
Every flag, shortlist, and draft order is logged with a time and a reason, and your client and crew data stays yours. Self-host on a VPS if it must stay on your own infrastructure.
