For cleaning operators

Run your cleaning business like the big firms.
Without becoming one.

Bring your team. We bring booking, billing, dispatch, and a brand profile customers find. Two plans, switch any time.

What we replace

01

Forty hours a month chasing invoices.

Stripe charges customers automatically. You see the deposit.

02

One sick day blows up your week.

Smart cleaner picker surfaces who's available before you need them.

03

Big contracts ghost you because you don't have the paperwork.

Service agreements, e-sign, deposits, audit trail. All templated.

What you get

The operational stack the big firms charge for.

Payments

Stripe Connect, direct to your bank.

Customers pay Zulma. Zulma pays you, minus the platform fee, within 2 business days. HST handled per province automatically.

Dispatch

Kanban + calendar + smart cleaner picker.

Today and tomorrow in kanban columns. Next four weeks in a calendar. Picker shows who's available, who's busy, who's preferred for this contract.

Brand discovery

A public profile customers actually find.

Your logo, your story, your service cities, your certifications — on a Zulma URL with search-engine visibility. Customers can book directly with you.

Contracts

Templates, e-sign, pause, amend.

Customer-facing acceptance built in — clickwrap under $2,500 a month, drawn signature plus email-verified code above it. Mid-term amendments and pause requests routed through the same flow.

Pricing

Two plans. Switch any time.

Pay for the software and keep 100% of your revenue. Or pay nothing until we send you customers. Switches are pro-rated and effective immediately.

Plan A · Seat-based

Pay for the tools. Keep your revenue.

0%

on your own customers · 8% on Zulma leads

$49 per admin · $15 per pro · per month

  • First 3 seats free, any role mix
  • Owner seat always free
  • Your own customers are commission-free
  • Lowest lead rate — best when we send you volume

Direct alternative to Jobber + Housecall Pro — same anchor price, with a lead pipeline attached. Payment processing at cost + 0.4% (bank debit default, from ~1.4%).

Plan B · Commission-only

Pay nothing. Until we send you customers.

12%

only on customers we send you · 0% on your own

No subscription · No seats · No commitment

  • $0 monthly fee, ever
  • Your own customers are commission-free
  • 12% only on Zulma-sourced contracts — no royalty on your book
  • Best when you want leads more than tools

Direct alternative to ServiceMaster + SERVPRO + JAN-PRO — they take 10-20% of EVERY invoice; we only share in the ones we bring you. Payment processing at cost + 0.4%.

Commission rate is stamped on each contract at signing — switching plans never changes the rate on contracts already running.

From a franchise?

Leave your franchise. Keep your business.

If you're paying ServiceMaster, SERVPRO, JAN-PRO, Coverall or Vanguard a percentage of every job — see what you'd keep on Zulma. Free 30-day white-glove migration.

The Apex path

Earn Apex certification. Access clients who don't browse marketplaces.

Apex is a certification, not a tier. Operators who earn it meet a single standard for screening, training, insurance, and discretion. Published floor rates start at $175/hr.

Quality is non-negotiable

The platform's reputation is yours too.

Customers stay because they trust the work. If one operator slips, every operator on the platform pays the price. We hold a single bar — and we measure it.

Kit photo on the first job of every week.

Geofenced. Uploaded from the worker app. No photo, no payout for the visit.

GPS-stamped before and after photos every job.

Customer sees them in their dashboard. So do you. So does Zulma.

Mystery shopper visits once or twice a quarter per cleaner.

Paid third party. Scored against the same rubric for every operator.

Three complaints in 90 days triggers an automatic audit.

Fix it or we re-train. Repeat patterns affect Apex eligibility and visibility.

Zulma carries $5M Commercial General Liability via Zensurance, covering platform facilitation. Every IC cleaner on the platform must carry their own $2M CGL — Certificate of Insurance uploaded during onboarding, tracked through expiry. Apex certification adds NDA, enhanced screening, and a Vulnerable Sector Police Check on every staff member.
