How Pristine Cleaning Recovered $38K in Lost Billing Revenue
A Denver cleaning company with 16 distributed cleaners had no way to verify site attendance or bill clients accurately. One-tap mobile clock-in changed everything.
The Company
Pristine Cleaning Co. provides commercial cleaning services to 22 client sites across the Denver metro area. Owner Patricia Gomez manages 16 cleaners who go directly to client locations. There is no central office.
Cleaners visit 3-5 sites per day, working solo or in pairs. Before Timedox, Patricia had no reliable way to verify who was at which site or for how long. Billing was based on scheduled hours, not actual hours worked.
"My cleaners never come to an office. I had no way to know if they were where they said they were."
Patricia's cleaners reported their hours by text message at the end of each day. Some forgot. Some rounded. Some inflated. There was no verification, and Patricia had no time to drive between 22 sites to check.
Client billing was based on contracted hours, but actual time on site varied. When clients questioned invoices, Patricia had no records to back them up.
"I was losing money two ways: cleaners reporting hours they didn't work, and clients disputing bills I couldn't prove. I estimated $3,200 a year in billing disputes alone, plus whatever I was overpaying in unreported absences."

Clock-in verification before Timedox
Why they chose Timedox
Patricia needed something dead simple. Her cleaners range from 19 to 62 years old, and several speak English as a second language. Complex software was not an option.
"Timedox is one tap to clock in. That's it. GPS is captured automatically. My cleaners don't even think about it. The 62-year-old who can barely use email figured it out in 30 seconds."
Client-based tracking let Patricia assign each cleaner to specific sites. Hours were automatically grouped by client for billing, eliminating the manual reconciliation she'd been doing every weekend.

From signup to full adoption
All 16 cleaners onboarded
Patricia showed each cleaner the app during their morning check-in call. 'Tap here when you arrive, tap here when you leave.' Average training time: 2 minutes.
First GPS-verified week completed
Patricia could see every cleaner's location for every clock-in and clock-out. Three instances of wrong-site arrivals were caught and corrected in real time.
Client billing automated
Instead of manually calculating hours per client from text messages, Patricia exported billing reports grouped by client site. Weekend reconciliation went from 3 hours to 15 minutes.
Revenue recovery identified
Timedox data showed Patricia was under-billing 4 clients by a combined $800/month because actual cleaning time exceeded contracted hours. She renegotiated those contracts.
Full financial impact realized
Between recovered under-billing, eliminated time fraud, and reduced admin time, Pristine Cleaning recovered $38K in the first year. Patricia hired two additional cleaners with the savings.
