Cleaning Staff Management That Supports Kiwi Scheduling Needs

Effective scheduling is vital for New Zealand cleaning companies handling various job types and staff availability challenges. Shifton’s scheduling software for cleaning businesses offers automation and flexibility — the foundation of reliable cleaning staff management.

Streamlined Shift Planning. Shifton enables managers to create and edit schedules within minutes.

Customisable Templates. For recurring jobs like daily cleanings in Christchurch office buildings, Shifton offers reusable templates that help save time while maintaining consistency.
