The Allison Platform Company

What The Allison Platform Company does

The Allison Platform Company (DBA "Allison") is a vertical SaaS provider that builds an all-in-one field-service platform exclusively for residential and commercial cleaning businesses. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Tennessee, the company was started by operators with direct cleaning-industry experience (founder Blake Wood) and is privately held and bootstrapped. The product combines scheduling, quoting, customer management, invoicing, payments, time tracking, payroll, cleaner management, and customer-facing online booking into a single unified system delivered as a progressive web app with native iOS and Android mobile applications. Underlying technology includes native Stripe integration for payments, a Zapier integration in beta connecting the platform to 5,000+ third-party apps, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) support that lets external AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok) connect directly to Allison business data. Cleaning-specific capabilities include square-footage-based pricing, digital cleaner checklists, 24-hour cleaner availability windows, on-my-way SMS, zip-code service area validation, and proactive risk detection for churn, scheduling conflicts, and payment failures.

Allison operates a single-tier, flat-rate subscription model priced at $149 per month that includes unlimited users, unlimited jobs, and every platform feature with no per-seat fees, no growth penalties, and no setup or onboarding fees. The company is sold through a hybrid product-led and inside-sales motion: a free pricing calculator and a Facebook community group generate top-of-funnel demand (the calculator has been used by 3,000+ cleaning business owners), while sales-assisted demos convert mid-market prospects with 6+ cleaners. White-glove onboarding is included in lieu of a free trial. As of the latest disclosed data, Allison serves 150+ cleaning businesses across North America (operationally restricted to U.S.-based customers) spanning residential cleaning, commercial cleaning, and niche segments such as post-construction and real estate make-ready services. The business is capital-efficient by design: bootstrapped since founding, no institutional investors disclosed, and the company invests in product velocity (a multi-feature release in February 2026 added Service Areas, Zapier integration, 24-hour availability, and 72-hour reminders) rather than paid customer acquisition.
