Change one repeat visit without breaking the rest
Skip one clean, move a visit, pause a client or resume the schedule without rebuilding the whole series.
A practical cleaning business comparison
A Jobber alternative for cleaning businesses.
Jobber serves many types of home service businesses. Shinivo is focused on residential cleaning, with repeat client scheduling, property details and job history built around how cleaning work changes from visit to visit.
Built for: Cleaning business owners and small teams that want recurring schedules, home details and daily work in one focused system.
No card required. The trial includes Team features.
What Shinivo is built to handle
Home details that stay with the property
Keep access instructions, parking, pets, supplies, cleaning notes and visit history with the property while customer contact details stay organized separately.
Contact customers based on the latest action
Reminders stop when they no longer make sense. Shinivo checks whether a quote was accepted, a balance was paid, a review was left or another clean is already booked.
Learn from completed work
Use completed job history to see which services and repeat cleans regularly take longer than planned.
