Sound Familiar?

The day is a route, and the route is the business. She loads the van with caddies, fresh microfiber, and the day's lockbox list, then heads to the first recurring home where the client's already left for work. The whole house runs on access codes and trust: get the code wrong and the alarm screams. Her two-person team splits the house, color-coded cloths for each room, and she texts the client a 'we're in, all good' so they're never wondering. A midday client cancels by text an hour out, blowing a hole in the schedule and the day's revenue, and there's no easy way to backfill a deep clean on no notice. The afternoon home has a dog that has to stay in the bedroom and a client allergic to anything scented, details that live in her head and have to live in her team's heads too. Between stops she's restocking supplies, fielding a quote request, and watching gas tick up against a recurring rate she set two years ago. After the last home she reconciles which clients paid, which deep-clean upsells landed, and updates a couple of client notes so whoever cleans next time knows about the new houseplant rule. She maps tomorrow's route to cut the driving, and that's the job.

The average service business waits 23 days to get paid. Here's where the gap lives.

It's not the work — it's the steps between 'done' and 'paid.' On-site invoicing, automatic generation from the job record, and same-day reminders compress 23 days to next-day. Every day you shave off is cash that's in your account instead of someone else's.

FAQ

Is Nexa actually built for cleaning services?

Yes. The invoicing module is designed for cleaning services who need to professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus you get scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting — tools most cleaning services end up needing anyway. $279 total for everything.

$279 seems expensive upfront. Is it worth it?

$279 spread over 3 years is $7.75/month. You're currently paying $0/month for — that's $0 over 3 years. Nexa saves you $-279 over that period. The math isn't close.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no questions. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I switch from my current tools?

Yes. Export your data as CSV, import into Nexa. Most cleaning services are fully switched in 1-2 days. Run both in parallel until you're confident — zero risk.

Why One App Beats Three Subscriptions

Most cleaning services cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.

For the way a House Cleaner actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the Backpack and canister HEPA vacuums you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "last-minute cancellations and no-shows that leave a paid cleaner standing on a doorstep with no way in and an empty slot" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in ∞ months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a House Cleaner who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying every month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
