Swept provides a field-management software platform that connects commercial cleaning companies with their front-line staff and clients to improve service quality and retention. The product was built by founder and CEO Michael Brown, a former cleaning‑company owner, to address operational visibility and staff management challenges. Swept reports that its customers retain clients 91% better than the industry average, and its clients experience 39% annual employee turnover versus industry turnover of 100–400%. The company targets the fragmented and growing $70B+ janitorial market where many small and medium cleaning companies have yet to adopt technology. Swept plans to use growth capital to advance its product and expand market share to help operators meet increasing customer demands and scale adoption. Swept is a SaaS platform targeted at the janitorial industry that streamlines communication between cleaning companies and their cleaners and includes time-tracking, scheduling, and client problem reporting. The company initially launched as Clean Simple in November 2015 and later rebranded to reflect its transition from a cleaning company to a standalone SaaS product. CEO Michael Brown built the software for his own cleaning business, and the team participated in batch 21 of 500 Startups. Swept reports over 10,000 users across seven countries and highlights a large addressable market—some 800,000 companies in North America with turnover rates up to 375% annually. The company plans to use the funding for product development and hiring to fuel continued growth. Prior investors include HIGHLINE VC, BDC Capital, Innovacorp, and EastValley Ventures.
