This Office Management App Organizes Cleaners and Tracks Supplies

Companies that sign up for Q's services receive free iPad installation at their workplace so managers and cleaners can ensure the space is properly maintained. Users can search Q cleaners, give them tasks and schedule them for regular times during the week. In addition to scheduled cleanings, managers can also arrange for cleaners to come in for an event or to fix something. Meanwhile cleaners can clock in on the iPad, check messages and other instructions.

The office management app also enables users to order more supplies as well as keeping track of them.
