Call-off & attendance software for cleaning companies

Janitorial and commercial cleaning runs on early mornings, late nights, and dozens of accounts spread across town. When a cleaner doesn’t show and you don’t hear about it, a building goes uncleaned and a client picks up the phone. AbsentEase makes sure you hear about every call-off the moment it happens, by text, with no app to install.

Why cleaning crews are hard to cover

Shifts start when the office is closed

Cleaners often start before dawn or after hours. A voicemail left at 4 a.m. isn’t heard until the account is already missed.

Crews are spread across many sites

One no-show at one building is easy to miss when your team is split across a dozen accounts every night.

High turnover, little training time

You can’t require every new hire to download and learn an app. Texting is something everyone already knows how to do.

Attendance is hard to track fairly

Without a record, attendance points and write-ups become “he-said, she-said.” You need an objective, time-stamped log.

How AbsentEase helps

Call off by text, instantly logged. Staff text that they can’t make it; the absence is recorded with a timestamp and the right supervisor is alerted in seconds.
Account-level coverage. Route alerts to the manager responsible for each building so coverage gets arranged before the shift, not after the complaint.
Your attendance policy, automated. Excused-day limits, no-show thresholds, and discipline steps are applied consistently for every employee.
PTO & balances by text. Cleaners text to check remaining time off; accruals and carryover follow your policy with no spreadsheets.
