Route

Bid, operate and grow a commercial cleaning business

Visit Route

Route is a platform for commercial cleaning companies that brings bidding, subcontractor sourcing, and peer discussion into one place. It addresses common operational gaps: walkthroughs captured on paper, inconsistent pricing, and finding subcontractors through phone calls and personal networks. The platform serves primes searching for subcontractors and subcontractors seeking contract opportunities.

Route consists of three parts. BID is a mobile-first bidding tool that captures areas, measurements, flooring, fixtures, notes, and photos on site, applies saved pricing and industry-based standards, and produces branded proposals clients can approve. Exchange is a map-driven national marketplace where subcontractors create profiles, set service areas, and get verified, while primes search by market, services, and availability or post opportunities. Community is a discussion space with open threads, peer and expert access, mentorship, small-group sessions, and meetups.

Route is intended for commercial cleaning, janitorial, and BSC companies of varying sizes, including both primes and subcontractors. The site links to pricing and plans but does not detail specific editions or billing models.
