Surely the whole attraction of Aworka and Cleaner Planner are the mobile work sheets? The ability to work from your phone or tablet. This is why I have just trialled Aworka.

Cleaner Planner as far as I understand it doesn't offer the mobile option unless you get the pro version at £25 a month. If you were to match Aworka on that score then I'd love to have a look.

Aworka although pretty good still seems under developed in my opinion it just isn't finished yet. The mobile version is pretty disappointing to my untrained eyes -only three days of planner available (yesterday, today and tomorrow). Editing is long winded and deleting jobs out of the system impossible for the user.

Basically I want George on my mobile or tablet - that format is so brilliantly simple and plain to look at even I can almost understand it

You'd simply send me your WCP backup (I can walk you through that) and I'd load it up for you on Cleaner Planner (only this boffin required and no charge for the import!)

Once it's loaded up on Cleaner Planner it's web-based so no further IT worries. If you've got a broadband connection and can get on to Google and Facebook you're set.

It's got to be a monthly charge really (same for Aworka) to support ongoing development and support (you may have noticed the one off fee for WCP hasn't exactly panned out).

Not planning to do yearly upfront as personally I don't feel comfortable tying people in, especially if you're new to the system and still considering options.


you don't take one off payments ??? hang on a pay foreverything on the nose even my new vans are bought with a swipe of a card , yet I cant pay you a one off !!!!  is that you john wanye  

also wcp was stopped in its tracks due to window cleaners not wanting to pay  so there was no money to go any further ,

now that you have managed to turn half the fourm away from your service buy out priceing yourself to your biggest market (one man bands and people like me that don't like debt) I would  say that's not the best start to your new system is it

Hello,

Rob imported all of our WCP and it was really quite seamless - TBH Susan, if you like the WCP feel/layout, then you will really like CP as its very similar - it is very very user friendly and I would rec'd having a go on the free trial let Rob duplicate your info across and then for a few days you would run both you would soon get the feel of it - and the great thing is that Rob really responds quickly if you have a query too.

On the payment front we have signed up on a re-curring card payment, which you can stop at any time - remember on CP all your data is backed up in the cloud, BUT you can export it easily at the click of a button if you would like a "paper copy"

Give the trial a whirl....
it sounds like what we want , but why should I have to change the way I deal . its alright from them that like payment cards and d.d but I don't , not in to this payment every month business I hate it

 >:(

David definatley try the free trial, its a fantastic piece of software for a one man band or multi - we are really pleased with it and Rob is brilliant - he can export your data and he really is there to help you use it but it really is very user friendly
Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

surely you can pay £25 x 12??  ???

I do think he's priced a lot of people out of the market as did WCP and had to start selling support packs at £60 a year to help get more money.. which didnt work.

You can pay one year up full in aworka and it works out at £8 per month, All chris has to do now is follow what cleaner planner has done over next few months and hes onto a winner at £10 per month  ;D

Its what George done when WCP was realized ... done most of the features WCP had put into there program in a more simple format  ;D

Do you pay for your mobile phone with a one-off payment?

Dave Willis - Correct but I'm listening to feedback and nothing is set in stone. Any chance you could pop me a quick email to discuss? Keen to get this right for everyone - rob@cleanerplanner.com

I have never liked the Aworka  mobile app and dislike its lack of function , I much prefer using the full version on my Iphone and find it just as easy to use and navigate as easily as doing it on my laptop .

I can  email invoices after completing jobs and chase up debts my invoice late payers whilst sat in my truck having me lunch and just dont see the point off the mobile app .


The full site is mobile friendly so for me their is no contest and any queries or mistakes i have made have been answered and sorted by chris almost instantly,

For all that www.aworka.com  offers  £10.00 a month is a bargain IMHO . Mike

Rob, this system sounds brilliant.

I need to re organise my business into two rounds. Could this system assist with that?

Basically, need to import from George and split everything into 6 weekly and another round of 8 weekly.

Hi Lee,

Absolutely.

If you sign up for the free trial and pop me your latest George backup I can import your jobs into one main round initially.

Then, using the Move to Round button in Cleaner Planner you simply check the jobs and move them to the new round with a couple of clicks.

There's also a Bulk Edit tool so you can modify schedules (e.g. switch to 6/8 weekly), opt multiple customers in for SMS reminders etc in one go.

Any further questions just give me a shout :)

Rob,

As a franchisor i was litertally just about to pay for the Aworka subscription for my first franchisee, it seems that according to John Willan , who i know is an aworka subscriber there are certain features that for the user/franchisee CP does not have , can you tell me what they are and also when and if they will be included in CP.

In addition i operate a multi van company. If i wanted to use CP for both my franchise network and my company how would this work.

 I am currently signed up with Aworka,  Aworka does most of what I require as a franchisor but does need to offer custom reports as mentioned above, I can't see it happening anytime soon, If Cleaner Planner can offer a package for the franchisor I would defo consider changing

Matt, Couldn't get back to you the other week due to binning old mobile hence lost your number and message, I still have same number just a different phone
