Industries · Cleaning & Janitorial
Win and keep janitorial contracts with AI systems
Janitorial is won in the walkthrough and lost in the follow-up. Sherpa builds and runs the systems that land commercial contracts and keep them off the rebid list.
How Cleaning & Janitorial actually works
Janitorial is a contract-and-retention business. The buyer is a facility or property manager who signs after a walkthrough, then judges you every night by whether the trash went out and the floors got done. New contracts come from bids and referrals; lost ones come from complaints that festered until renewal. Nights, weekends, thin margins, constant crew turnover. The operator who documents quality and answers fast keeps the building.
The Sherpa climb, mapped to cleaning and janitorial companies
Four camps, in order. Each one solves the next-most-expensive problem cleaning and janitorial companies face. Start where your business leaks most.
Facility managers vet you online before they ever invite a walkthrough. Trailhead gives you a site that ranks for commercial cleaning in your market, shows up when AI search gets asked for janitorial vendors, and carries reviews from buildings like theirs.
