What KleanApp does

KleanApp is a vertical SaaS platform developed and operated by Softwareentwicklung Schittkowski GmbH (founded 1999 in Eichstätt, Germany) that digitizes operations for commercial cleaning and facility service providers. The product combines four core modules — digital quality inspections, an intelligent ticket system, multi-modal employee time tracking, and a finance/invoicing module — delivered via a web application and native iOS/Android apps, with an interface available in 22+ languages. Workflows are purpose-built for the German and broader DACH cleaning trade, including DIN-compliant quality assessments, integration with German accounting/HR standards (DATEV, Lexware Office, Agenda), and support for collective-agreement-driven payroll. Notable enterprise references include Zurich Airport's cleaning section (300+ employees), ISS Deutschland, and Kötter Cleaning, with the company publicly stating that 7 of Germany's top 20 facility management operators use the platform.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional but enterprise-grade Microsoft .NET architecture: C#/ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, SQL Server/SQLite backends, Xamarin.Forms mobile clients, and Azure-hosted infrastructure (Azure.Storage, Azure.Identity, Azure.Core), augmented by Firebase push notifications, Twilio SMS, Microsoft Entra ID SSO, Elastic APM, and Serilog structured logging. Security is anchored by ISO/IEC 27001 certification with EU-only data processing, multi-level backups, optional 2FA, and GPS/PIN opt-ins. The commercial model is a hybrid PLG-plus-sales motion: SMBs self-register for a free 30-day trial and subscribe online, while enterprise facility operators are served through quote requests, free brochures, and mandatory setup packages (M €290, L €790, XL €1,290). Recurring revenue comes from three subscription tiers — Small (€12.30/user/month for field staff), Pro (€99/month for administrators), and Time packages (from €145/month for 25+ employees) — and is augmented by one-time onboarding services and a partner-led referral channel through industry associations (RAL GGGR, Landesinnung Niedersachsen) and consulting firms (Proxi, sarikohn).

In March/April 2026, KleanApp was acquired by zvoove Group and fully integrated into zvoove Clean, the European platform's cleaning-industry vertical. The acquisition adds KleanApp's quality management capabilities to zvoove's broader portfolio for temporary staffing, cleaning, and security software and creates a distribution path beyond the DACH core market into zvoove's pan-European customer base. Post-acquisition, KleanApp operates as a strategic asset within zvoove Clean rather than as an independent product entity, with the original kleanapp.net domain and product surface retained within the integrated portfolio.
