End Door Haggling With Carpet Cleaning Business Software
Truck-mount owners send the full room-by-room price early. Protector and pet treatment sit on the ticket, so the total at the door matches.
Built Around the Ticket, From First Call to Rebook
Listed by where a one-van shop loses money: the ticket first, rebooking last.
Rooms, Stairs and Add-Ons on One Ticket
A caller wants 3 bedrooms, the hall and the stairs, plus pet treatment in the den. Build it from your price book, add protector as an option, and send it before the truck rolls.
- Save per-room and per-sq-ft prices → every ticket adds up the same
- Add stairs and the hallway as lines → no step-count haggling later
- Price urine treatment per sq ft → the den gets its own charge
- Offer protector and deodorizer as options → the customer picks at home
- Keep your job minimum as a line → two-room jobs still cover the trip
- Note which furniture you'll move → the price covers the lifting
- Watch for the Viewed tag → phone before they try another cleaner
- Get it accepted before you arrive → no upsell pitch at the door
Fewer Empty Slots From Last-Minute Cancels
Two customers cancel the night before, and Saturday has a hole in it. Put your 48-hour policy in the quote terms and ask for a deposit on whole-house jobs. A late cancel now has a price.
- Write the 48-hour policy into quote terms → they agree before booking
- Take a deposit when they accept → the slot has money behind it
- Bill a $40 late-cancel fee as a line → the policy gets enforced
- Get a signature on the quote → no 'I never agreed' later
- Spot a quote that's Viewed, not Accepted → call before you load the van
- Set a canceled job On Hold → rebook it without retyping rooms
- Fill the gap from last year's customers → Saturday still pays
Pack 4 Short Stops Into One Day
Most homes take 2 or 3 hours, so a good day packs 4 stops. When a cold snap wipes out Thursday, move each job to next week and work down your call list.
- Fill Saturdays first on the week view → weekend demand gets served
- Drag a snowed-out day into open slots → no job falls off the book
- Color-code water calls in blue → urgent jobs stand out
- Book a flood job across 3 days → drying checks stay in order
- Tap On My Way after coiling hoses → the office sees you've left
- Say "Reschedule Okafor's three rooms to Friday" → confirm and the job moves
- Plan routes on the Team plan map → fewer crosstown runs
Photos That Settle Reclean Calls
When a customer says the spots came back, open the job. Your before photos show what you found. Your note says the red wine may stay, and they signed off on it.
- Snap every room before the wand touches it → wear is on record
- Write down stains that may stay → the customer heard it first
- Get a signature when you finish → sign-off tied to that job
- Log the wick-back redo as a visit → one history per home
- Record the dry time you told them → fewer still-wet calls
- Photo the finished carpet → proof it looked right when you left
- Reopen a job for a reclean → see what redos cost you
Get Paid Before You Coil the Hoses
Homeowners pay at the van, but the dental office wants an invoice on net-30 terms. The finished job becomes that invoice, and the unpaid list shows who's running late.
- Invoice from the finished job → prices carry over from the quote
- Send the pay link at the door → card paid before you pull away
- Let a property manager pay by bank transfer → 0.8% on turnover bills
- Record cash or a check → the balance updates right away
- List unpaid office accounts in one view → call the manager early
- Write net-30 into the quote terms → commercial customers know the deal
- Resend an unpaid invoice on day 31 → a nudge before a phone call
Find Last Year's Customers When They're Due
Carpet comes back every 12 to 18 months, not every week. Flip the calendar back a year to see who you cleaned. Open each profile for rooms and prices, then call before the coupon mailers land.
- Open last March in month view → this March's call list
- Check the customer's history → rooms, prices and notes together
- Save last year's job as a quote template → rebook at last year's price
- Keep dog and cat notes on the profile → quote odor work again
- Set a monthly visit for an office lobby → that carpet stays on schedule
- Note the mailer or referral that sent them → see what paid off

Why One-Van Carpet Shops Pick Procured
Before you trust any app with your Saturday book, here are the terms.
Is It Right for Your Carpet Business?
Procured fits owners who run their own vans. Franchises and big restoration shops will want more.
| Procured Is For | Procured Is Not For |
|---|---|
| You run one or two truck-mounts, mostly in homes | You run 50+ vans under a franchise with royalty reports |
| Callers want a three-room price before you've seen the house | You need insurance-format estimates for water damage claims |
| You sell protector, deodorizer and pet treatment as add-ons | You want tech commission on each upsell figured for you |
| You get spots-came-back calls and want proof | You need drying logs with daily moisture readings for water jobs |
| You clean sofas, rugs and tile as well as wall-to-wall | You run an in-plant rug wash with pickup tag tracking |
| A few office and apartment clients pay by invoice | You need to track air movers left behind at water jobs |
| Your spouse books jobs from the kitchen table | You want a booking page where callers grab a Saturday slot |
What Is Carpet Cleaning Business Software?
Carpet cleaning business software is an app to price, book and bill carpet jobs, with each customer's history attached. For a truck-mount owner, that means a room-by-room ticket and a day of short stops. It also means stain photos before you start and payment at the van. Procured covers those for small shops. It doesn't write insurance estimates or drying logs for water damage.
