Digital inspections and records for cleaning services
Many sites, many teams, a client who wants to see quality — supervisors inspect on mobile, defects get owners, the record goes out as PDF.
Bring an existing form. In the call we map your real workflow in ProtocolHero and show what the finished PDF looks like.
How Cleaning services document today – and what it costs
In commercial cleaning the record is the product. The client does not see how it was cleaned — they see whether it is clean and whether you can prove the agreed service was delivered. Quality checks by supervisors, service records for special cleaning and the handling of complaints decide contract renewal and price.
Today these checks mostly run on paper sheets that reach the office days later. Complaints arrive by phone or email and cannot be assigned to site or shift. The monthly service record is compiled from slips. And with 80 sites the area manager does not know where the last check is overdue — until the client cancels.
The cleaners themselves never sit at a desk. A solution has to work on the smartphone, be completed in two minutes and be understandable without training — otherwise it will not be used. That is exactly what ProtocolHero is built for.
Who ProtocolHero is built for
- Commercial cleaning companies with several sites and site supervisors
- Facility service providers with cleaning, caretaking and grounds maintenance
- Specialist cleaners (industrial, clinical, food) with documentation duties
- Cleaning companies working for retail chains, hospitals or public clients
Four things that change for management
Not more forms, but less rework, less risk and a business you can show at any time.
Area managers see all sites without driving there
The document hub shows per site and supervisor which check is done, open or overdue. The Hero Agent posts the open list to your channel and reminds supervisors automatically. Comparison between sites and teams at a glance.
Complaints get an owner and a deadline
Clients report via a web form on your website or by email to your channel. The Hero Agent creates the board card, assigns the supervisor, sets the deadline and asks for the completion photo. No complaint gets lost any more.
Check in two minutes, proof at the push of a button
Supervisors rate areas on the smartphone — photo, rating, comment, done. The monthly record for the client is a bulk export of approved checks, not a pile of slips.
Renew contracts with numbers instead of promises
You show the client via link how many checks were carried out with which result and how fast complaints were closed — with photos and timestamps. That is the argument in the price negotiation.
Schluss mit Word, Excel und Zettelwirtschaft
Diese typischen Hürden kennen Betriebe in Ihrem Gewerk – und genau hier setzt ProtocolHero an.
Quality checks are ticked on paper sheets and reach the office days later.

Service record as PDF
Inspections and extra services are approved and handed to the client as PDF — individually or in bulk export.

What a lost complaint costs
A cleaning company with 80 sites carries out several hundred checks a month. If the supervisor needs 15 minutes per check for the sheet, assigning photos and handing over to the office, and the office another 10 minutes for filing and the monthly record, that is roughly 165 hours a month for 400 checks.
The real lever is the contract: a site with 8,000 euros monthly revenue cancelled because of unanswered complaints costs 96,000 euros a year. With a complaint process in which every report has an owner, a deadline and a completion photo, you defend contracts with evidence instead of goodwill.
- Checks on the smartphone instead of paper sheets — for staff without a desk too
- Complaints with owner, deadline and photo — complete for the client
- Monthly record as bulk export instead of searching slips
- Site comparison shows where quality slips before the client notices

„Wirklich gute Kommunikation mit eurem Team – Fragen wurden immer schnell und effizient geklärt. Ein großer Vorteil ist, eigene Protokolle zu erstellen: Wir konnten z. B. eine eigene Drohnenflug-Einverständniserklärung direkt in ProtocolHero abbilden. ProtocolHero ist extrem vielseitig – wir nutzen es sogar für interne Prozesse wie unsere laufende Inventur.“
„Wir haben mittlerweile knapp 1.000 Dokumente mit ProtocolHero erstellt. Das zeigt, wie stark die Software bei uns im Alltag angekommen ist. Besonders wertvoll ist die klare Dokumentenzentrale: Wir sehen, welche Dokumente offen sind, wer woran arbeitet und was noch zu erledigen ist. Inzwischen nutzen wir ProtocolHero auch für die tägliche Stundenerfassung und die KI-Funktionen sind eine große Hilfe.“
„Gerade bei Wasserschäden und Arbeiten für Versicherungen ist eine saubere Dokumentation extrem wichtig. Es muss nachvollziehbar festgehalten werden, welcher Schaden vorlag, welche Maßnahmen durchgeführt wurden und wie die Instandsetzung erfolgt ist. Das hilft uns intern für den Überblick, aber auch nach außen bei Rückfragen mit Kunden und Versicherungen.“
