What Shinivo is built to handle
Give the cleaner the right home details
Keep access, parking, pet, supply and cleaning instructions with the property. The assigned cleaner also sees checklist progress and photo counts from their own previous visit to that home.
Get approval before adding extra work
While a cash job is in progress, the customer can approve or decline an extra from a private link before it changes the job total.
Keep the money clear
See completed work, customer payments and outstanding balances as separate amounts, so you know what was finished, collected and still owed.
