eQuest

eQuest is a cloud-based work order system for janitorial businesses. Managers create one-time and recurring orders, and field staff carry out quality inspections through a mobile app.

Because it is cloud-based, it can be reached from any location. The vendor stresses that labour is the largest expense in a service business, so the tool focuses on showing when staff actually work.
