Cleaning Service Route Planning Software
Cleaning businesses lose hours every week to poorly sequenced routes. Drivant builds tight, appointment-aware schedules so your crews arrive on time and spend their day cleaning, not commuting.
No credit card required. Full Pro access for 14 days.
Cleaning routes are deceptively complex
Recurring schedules, time-sensitive appointments, variable job lengths, and multiple crews. Manual planning breaks down as you grow.
Appointment Windows
Clients expect arrival within a specific time range. One late arrival cascades through the entire day, leaving crews rushing and clients frustrated.
Excessive Drive Time
Without route optimization, crews drive across town between jobs when closer clients are available. Fuel costs and lost productive hours eat into thin margins.
Recurring Schedule Chaos
Weekly, biweekly, and monthly clients on different cycles. Manually rebuilding routes each week to accommodate schedule changes is tedious and error-prone.
Crew Assignment Headaches
Balancing workloads across teams, matching crew skills to job types, and handling last-minute call-outs while keeping routes efficient.
Built for cleaning service workflows
Import your client list, set appointment windows and job durations, and let Drivant build the tightest possible schedule for every crew.
Import Your Client List
Drop in Excel or CSV exports from your scheduling software, CRM, or even a simple spreadsheet. Drivant auto-detects addresses, client names, appointment preferences, and service notes. No reformatting needed.
Optimize Around Time Windows
Set arrival windows and service durations per job. The optimizer sequences your stops to hit every appointment while minimizing drive time between clients. See projected arrival times before crews leave.
Assign Crews Automatically
The Route Builder splits your client list into geographic clusters and creates balanced routes for each crew. Assign territory-based or skill-based routes so every team has a full, efficient day.
Export Daily Route Sheets
Generate print-ready schedules with client names, addresses, arrival times, job notes, and access instructions. Export to Excel, CSV, or GPX for navigation. Every crew starts the day knowing exactly where to go.
One platform, every cleaning operation
Whether you clean homes or office buildings, Drivant handles the routing.
Residential Cleaning
Route crews through neighborhoods efficiently with time-window appointments and variable job lengths for each home.
Commercial Janitorial
Plan nightly or weekend cleaning runs across office parks and commercial buildings with after-hours access requirements.
Deep Clean and Move-Out
Schedule one-time deep cleaning jobs alongside recurring clients without disrupting your regular weekly routes.
Multi-Location Contracts
Manage routes across multiple locations for property management companies, real estate agencies, and franchise cleaning services.
A typical day with Drivant
It is Monday morning and Lisa, operations manager at a 12-crew residential cleaning company, opens Drivant before the first van leaves the lot. She imports three new clients added over the weekend from a CSV export, and the auto-geocoder pins them on the map instantly. She drags each new client into the nearest geographic route, clicks "Optimize Schedule," and Drivant re-sequences every stop to minimize backtracking.
One crew lead calls in sick. Lisa selects that route, highlights the six jobs, and reassigns them across two neighboring crews. A single re-optimize keeps both routes under their eight-hour target. She exports updated route sheets to Excel, sends them to the team group chat, and the vans roll out by 7:45 AM.
By mid-morning, Lisa is already planning Wednesday's deep-clean add-on. She duplicates last week's Wednesday project, removes a cancelled biweekly client, adds a move-out job with a 10 AM arrival window, and optimizes again. The projected schedule shows every crew finishing within their shift. Route planning that used to take an hour now takes ten minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Drivant for cleaning service businesses.
Can Drivant plan recurring weekly cleaning schedules?
Yes. Build your weekly cleaning schedule as a project with routes for each day of the week. Save the project and reuse it week after week. When clients are added or removed, adjust the affected routes and re-optimize to keep drive times minimal.
How does Drivant handle appointment time windows for cleaning jobs?
Set arrival windows per stop to match client appointment times. The route optimizer sequences your jobs to hit every window while minimizing travel time between locations. You can see projected arrival times for every stop before crews leave for the day.
Can I assign different crews to different routes?
Yes. The Route Builder splits your client list into geographic clusters and creates separate routes for each crew. You can also manually assign jobs to specific crews based on client preferences, crew skills, or territory assignments.
Can I import my client list from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Export your client list as Excel or CSV from your scheduling software, CRM, or accounting system, then import into Drivant. The import wizard auto-detects addresses, client names, service notes, and appointment preferences.
How does Drivant minimize travel time between cleaning jobs?
The route optimizer sequences your stops using actual road distances and drive times, not straight-line estimates. It finds the order that minimizes total driving while respecting appointment windows, so your crews spend more time cleaning and less time on the road.
Can I set different service durations for different job types?
Yes. Set service duration per stop to reflect different job sizes. A studio apartment might be 45 minutes while a large home is 3 hours. Drivant factors these durations into the schedule so projected arrival times at subsequent stops are accurate.
How do I handle last-minute cancellations without disrupting the whole route?
Remove the cancelled stop from the route and click "Optimize Schedule." Drivant re-sequences the remaining stops to close the gap, so your crew's day tightens up instead of leaving a hole in the middle of the route. You can also backfill the slot with a waitlisted client.
Can Drivant help me estimate how many clients I can add before needing another crew?
Yes. Add prospective clients to your existing routes and re-optimize. The projected schedule shows total route duration including drive and service time. When a route exceeds your crew's shift length, you know it is time to split it or hire a new team.
Does Drivant work for cleaning companies that service both homes and offices?
Yes. Mix residential and commercial stops on the same route or separate them into dedicated routes. Set different service durations and time windows for each job type. The optimizer handles the sequencing regardless of whether a stop is a studio apartment or an office floor.
