i have a school to clean on monday it varies what they have done sometimes its an internal/external clean and sometimes its just external

is there a way you can have both prices on cleaner planner and choose which one to schedule the clean or does it all have to be done manually

cheers

Would 2 job entrys work? 2 separate jobs i mean

[richywilts]

possibly just as easy to change the price each time but would be nice to have an option to put other variable prices on

Doing an office job tomorrow where every other visit its the insides. So £145 without and £275 with the insides.

problem with that is it then gives a false value on your rounds as it would add both job prices together.

should put the idea on the cleaner planner forum richy, i think its a good idea

It would be good if you could have sub jobs within the main job with their own price and frequency.

So you could just select the sub job eg Rear windows @ £10 and it adds the price to the main job

Speak to Rob, he'll sort it, i have a few jobs like this but i manually change the price i charged on the app, works for me

on domestics its ok wer invoice isnt so important but on commercial yes u can send invoice via email after but handy to have it printed beforehand too

I believe Rob is going to be working on this soon, as I have a number of jobs where the price changes on a monthly basis.

The only problem at the moment in creating separate jobs for 1 customer, is that the debt doesn't tally up if they let the bill run past a couple of cleans, which some of my customers do, as it only recognises each separate job in the debt list

i have a few as well that change price on alternate cleans.i use george and just change price again when cleaned.takes 2 mins.no biggie really.

Hi guys - great discussion

This is something I've had in mind for a while. As far as I know none of the window cleaning software out there handles this (very common) scenario perfectly.

As LWC pointed out you can alter the charge on the day without permanently alerting the price, e.g. if you only did fronts that day, but you'd need to remember what price you'd quoted for fronts only (unless you added it as a note which shows on the worksheet/app which is easy to do and most people do that). Nonetheless, for those jobs where you're alternating between front + back / fronts only from month to month it would be nice if you didn't have to keep amending the charge manually (will also make it easier for employees to do and reduce the chance of errors).

You can set up two jobs on alternating schedules but then a) you're having to duplicate all the job details and b) as sunshine pointed out you're splitting the debt which doesn't make sense when front + back / fronts only are the same job really.

The solution, I think will be along the lines of Paul's suggestion, to allow you to specify a list of alternate/extra prices and services for a job which you can then select from a dropdown on the mobile app on an adhoc basis as and when you do them.

The beauty of this is if you have separate services for say "Gutter clear", "Conservatory clean" etc, then when you add these on, Cleaner Planner will track the extra revenue against that service, rather than the default service for the job (e.g. "Window cleaning") so you will be able to accurately report how much of these extra services you're upselling via the "Revenue by service report".

As it is if you bump up the window cleaning job say £20 because they ask you to do a gutter clear on the day this will come under "Window cleaning" in your "Revenue by service" report which isn't ideal.

Lol, sorry for rambling on (just thinking out loud) but you've actually got me pretty excited about this now It's a subtle feature but one that I can see would make life easier (and set CP apart )

[richywilts]

sounds good rob loo forward to seeing it

I can't believe someone's asked a question that CP doesn't do already!  I've been using it for 5 days and asked Rob many question's which have all been answered straight off the bat! I'll keep trying!!
