A proposal for EGK Cleaning

Proof in every room.

A simple system so your crew can prove every office was cleaned — and you can settle any dealership dispute in seconds.

Working prototype already built & live
Prepared by Build A Better Website for Elijah / EGK Cleaning · a starting point to refine together this week.
The problem it solves

Right now, it’s their word against your crew’s.

A dealership claims a room was missed or half-done. There’s no record to point to, so the complaint sticks — and it lands on you. Not because the work wasn’t done, but because nothing proves it was.

This system gives every cleaning a permanent, verifiable record — so a complaint gets answered with evidence, not an argument.

How it works

Tag the room, snap before & after, done.

Tag the room

A small tag on each room’s door — tapped or scanned — tells the app exactly which room the cleaner is in. No typing, no picking from a list, no way to log the wrong room.

Before

One tap opens the camera. The cleaner captures the room as they found it.

Clean, then After

When the work is done, a second photo captures the result.

Stamped automatically

Every photo is locked to the room, the exact date and time, and the on-site location — printed right onto the picture. Nothing for the crew to fill in or fake.

Straight to your dashboard

The finished record appears in your view instantly. Pull up any room, any shift, from your phone or a computer.

What one record looks like

A record that ends the argument.

Every room your crew touches produces a record like this — automatically, with the date and time burned into the photo.

The reasoning

Why a tag — and not just GPS.

This is the one design decision worth understanding, because it’s what makes the record trustworthy.

GPS confirms the building.

Which dealership

Phone GPS is great at placing your crew on-site at the dealership. But indoors it’s only accurate to tens of feet — it cannot tell one room from the room next door. It can’t do the job alone.

The tag pins the room.

Which office

The tag on the door identifies the exact room the moment it’s tapped — the one thing GPS can’t do. Room plus location, on every record. Nothing left to argue about.

In short: GPS proves your crew was at the dealership. The tag proves they were in that room. A complaint is always about a specific room — so the record carries both.

Security & assurance

Is it airtight? Here’s the honest answer.

No photo system proves from the picture alone that it’s a specific room — offices look alike. What this does is build a chain of evidence around every photo, the same way a delivery driver’s doorstep photo works. Five things lock together:

For dealerships that want extra assurance, we can add a reference photo per room so any submission is matched against that room’s known look — and require the room’s tag to appear in the “before” shot. Built-in options for later; the chain above already covers the disputes you actually face.

The part that matters to your budget

Simple, cheap, and proven — not experimental.

It’s the same tech you already trust

Tap-to-pay, delivery photos, museum and retail tags — passive NFC and QR codes are everywhere. This isn’t a moonshot; it’s ordinary, dependable technology pointed at your exact problem.

It runs on the phones your crew already carries

iPhone or Android — nothing to install from an app store, nothing to keep updated. They log in once and tap tags all shift.

What we handle vs. what you do

Almost nothing lands on you.

1 · You send a room list

Just the spaces you want documented, per dealership — in whatever words make sense to you. No official room names needed.

2 · We make the tags

We generate, label, and catalog a tag for every room, and send you the finished, ready-to-stick set. We keep the master list, so any tag can be reprinted or re-pointed.

3 · You place them

Stick one in each room, low-key by the door — a few minutes per building, once. From then on the crew just scans as they clean.

Programming the tags is trivial — a URL is written to each tag in about ten seconds with a free phone app, or ordered pre-encoded. Either way, you don’t have to touch it; we hand you labeled tags ready to place.

What we build

Two views, one system — already prototyped.

The crew app

Tap a room, capture before & after, move on. Fast enough that it never slows a shift down. Works on their own phones, offline-tolerant for spotty dealership Wi-Fi.

Your owner dashboard

Every room, every shift, both accounts — in real time, on your phone or a full-size screen on your computer. Add crew, see each person’s work, and pull any record on demand. You’ll be notified when a room is completed.

A working version already exists — we can walk through it live in our meeting, so you’re looking at the real thing, not a slideshow.

Next steps

Let’s walk it through this week.

A short web meeting

We go over this together, answer every question, and make sure it fits how your crew actually works.

You bring two things

A rough room list for the two dealerships, and which phones your crew uses. That’s all we need to finalize it.

We pilot one dealership

We produce the tags, you place them, and we run it at a single account first — prove it out, then roll to both.

None of this is complicated or risky on your end. It’s low-cost, mostly built, and designed to disappear into the workday. The hard part is already done.
