What Corporate Cleaning Systems does

Corporate Cleaning Systems, Inc. (CCS) is a privately held, family-owned commercial cleaning services company founded in 1962 by Anatole (Tony) Alper in Lafayette, Indiana, and now headquartered in Erlanger, Kentucky. The company delivers janitorial and specialty cleaning services through long-term contracts for Class A office space, medical and medical office facilities, and commercial real estate property management portfolios in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, covering more than 12 million square feet with a workforce of over 500 employees. Service lines span green cleaning (100% certified-green chemicals, CRI Green Label equipment), medical office cleaning (CDC-modeled protocols, biohazard spill handling), IICRC-certified carpet care, stone services, hard surface floor care, intra-facility logistics, and customizable client-specific offerings such as ballast changes and sprinkler inspection.

CCS's operational core is its proprietary InfoCentral CRM platform, an internally developed automated service management tool that captures client requests around the clock, dispatches them in real time via smartphone to management, supervision, and field staff, documents every issue to closure, and produces daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly trend reports. This is paired with an extensive library of Standard Operating Procedures that the company uses to make service delivery systems-dependent rather than people-dependent. The company markets directly through regional sales offices staffed by Senior Account Executives and a Director of Business Development, and is an IICRC Certified Firm with affiliations across BSCAI, BOMA, IREM, and IFMA. Enterprise customers include Cushman Wakefield (over 1M sq ft), Zeller Realty, CB Richard Ellis, Colliers International, Citimark, Culmen Services, and Christ Hospital.

The business model is recurring-contract commercial services revenue, with customized scope and pricing per client rather than publicly disclosed or transactional pricing. GTM is enterprise field sales organized by geography across four states. The company reports no institutional ownership, no funding events, and no M&A activity, and remains under family ownership and management.
