Cleaning & facilities services · Custom workflow design

Coordinate site-specific rosters, proof of work and rework

Keep recurring service requirements attached to each site and shift, including access, required tasks and the evidence needed to close a problem.

For Cleaning operator, facilities manager or area supervisor

Explore three real work situations ↓
How it could work

Start with a situation you recognise.

Illustrative designs to scope with your team. Select a scenario, then follow the normal path and the exception.

A recurring site changes its access window

Finished result

A manager-reviewed roster with coverage gaps and site instructions visible.

  1. 01Load site service requirements
  2. 02Check staff availability
  3. 03Apply skills and travel constraints
  4. 04Prepare revised roster
When something does not fit

The only available cleaner lacks the required site induction.

What happens next

Keep the shift unfilled for manager action instead of assigning an ineligible worker.

Inputs, checks and measurement
What starts the workflow
A client moves cleaning access to a shorter evening period.
Before taking action
Keep required supervision, access permission and minimum service coverage explicit.
Measure the change
Roster preparation time and last-minute coverage corrections.

A client needs evidence for each serviced area

Finished result

A truthful service record showing completed and outstanding areas.

  1. 01Match tasks to service scope
  2. 02Check required evidence
  3. 03Separate blocked areas
  4. 04Prepare client completion record
When something does not fit

A locked room prevented completion but the overall shift was marked done.

What happens next

Record the access blocker and create an approved revisit or exclusion task.

Inputs, checks and measurement
What starts the workflow
A shift finishes with checklist responses and photographs.
Before taking action
Check that evidence belongs to the correct site, area and service date.
Measure the change
Evidence preparation time and invoices delayed by missing records.

The same area receives another complaint

Finished result

A closed service issue with evidence, or an explicitly outstanding decision.

  1. 01Link complaint to site history
  2. 02Compare checklist and evidence
  3. 03Assign rework and owner
  4. 04Confirm acceptance
When something does not fit

The requested chemical or equipment is unsuitable for the surface.

What happens next

Escalate the method decision and keep rework instructions pending until approved.

Inputs, checks and measurement
What starts the workflow
A client reports a missed task already mentioned last week.
Before taking action
Distinguish a repeat service failure from newly requested out-of-scope work.
Measure the change
Repeat complaints and supervisor handling time per issue.
Fit before features

When custom work makes sense.

Use workforce software for basic shifts and checklists. Custom workflows help when site conditions, service variations and client evidence requirements differ materially.

Connect the records you already use

  • Client contracts and site instructions
  • Staff availability and shift schedules
  • Checklists, photos and incident records

Access, data quality and write permissions are checked during scoping. Integration availability depends on your systems.

Go deeper

The systems behind these scenarios.

Controls, responsibility and recovery

Agree who can change rules, approve exceptions and authorise each write. Keep a history of source records, rule versions and action results. Detect partial failures, reconcile before retrying and assign unresolved cases to a named owner.

AI can extract, classify and prepare information. Validated rules and agreed permissions govern consequential actions; missing evidence triggers review. Test normal cases, exceptions and recovery against acceptance criteria before launch.

Questions worth asking first.

Start with a sanitised example, the result you need and one awkward case. We will map a bounded first implementation.

Can every site use the same checklist?

Common tasks can be shared, but access, equipment and contract requirements should stay specific to the site and service version.

Does a completed checklist prove the site is clean?

It records completion evidence. Quality acceptance may still require a supervisor or client check, particularly for repeat complaints.

What is a useful first site to pilot?

Choose a recurring site with a clear service specification, access window and named supervisor. Bring the area checklist and examples of missed access, an unfinished task and a client complaint. Validate the handoff from cleaner to supervisor before expanding to sites with different inductions, surfaces or evidence requirements.

Can photos and checklists from an existing staff app be used?

Check whether the app exposes the site, area, task, timestamp and attachment with suitable permissions. Preserve exceptions such as a locked room separately from completed areas. If records arrive late after poor connectivity, label their capture and receipt times; a file upload alone should not mark an entire site accepted.

Do we need an ongoing Canvo subscription?

No mandatory Canvo subscription. An agreed implementation includes 12 months of support for the delivered workflows, defects and minor compatibility changes to existing integrations. Optional proactive care and further development are scoped separately. Software, hosting and API costs remain separate.

Your operation, your rules
