Price janitorial contracts right — and defend the number.
Apex CleanOps is built for owners bidding nightly office, medical, industrial, and school janitorial contracts. Price the job with confidence, attach real scope protection, and know your margin before you send.
Most janitorial owners bid from a spreadsheet, a guess, or the last number a client paid — and end up losing money on the contracts they win. Apex replaces that with a pricing engine designed around recurring janitorial work.
The janitorial bidding problem
Recurring janitorial work has thin margins and long time horizons. A 10% underprice quietly compounds every night for years. And when the client pushes back, most owners have nothing to defend the number.
- Under-pricing that only shows up months later in payroll
- Vague scopes that let clients expand the work for free
- No way to tell whether a bid is realistic before sending
- Proposals that look thrown together next to competitors
