What was true before. What is moving now.
Signed and onboarding. No published before/after percentages on this page.
- Bookkeeping, cleaning, and ops ran in separate tools with no single view.
- Cleaning was run as a cost center rather than tracked as COGS, so margins were hard to see.
- A flagged property had no visibility into why cleanliness scores were low.
- The operator was considering in-house payroll with no system to track W2 vs 1099.
- Property-retention calls were made on gut feel, not performance data.
- Separate tools for bookkeeping, cleaning, and operations that did not talk to each other.
- Moving payroll in-house using the People module for worker classification.
- Reclassifying cleaning labor as COGS for accurate margin visibility.
- Discontinuing the internal cleaning division in favor of contract labor.
- Using the scorecard to identify underperforming properties for offboarding.
What this account is putting in.
- People module for W2 vs 1099 classification as payroll moves in-house.
- Cleaning labor recast as COGS in the operating picture.
- Scorecard-led property review for offboarding decisions.
Who the work touches.

The operator was dealing with fragmented software and staff management. Bookkeeping, cleaning, and ops sat in separate tools that did not talk to each other, which made coordination harder than the work required.
