Migrating to CleanLog one site at a time

Move your cleaning operation off spreadsheets into CleanLog one site at a time, so schedules and timesheets keep running while you switch.

Updated

You do not have to move everything at once. The safest migration runs one location at a time, so the rest of your operation keeps working on its current process while you switch.

What do I need before I start?

Gather what you already track per site: the cleaning schedule, who works it, and how you record hours. That is everything CleanLog needs, and it usually already lives in a spreadsheet.

How do I migrate my first location?

  1. Pick a single, representative site, not your largest.
  2. Add it as a location and lay out its weekly schedule.
  3. Run one full pay period on CleanLog while keeping your spreadsheet as a backup.

Reconcile the first period

At the end of that period, compare the CleanLog timesheet against your spreadsheet. They should match. Differences are usually a missed clock-in or a schedule gap, which is exactly what CleanLog is there to surface.

How do I roll out the rest of my sites?

Once the first site reconciles cleanly, repeat per location. Keep each location on its current process until you are ready to validate it in CleanLog. Because every record stays exportable, data portability means you can take your data with you.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose any historical data when I switch?

No. Keep your source spreadsheets as a backup while you migrate. Once data is in CleanLog, it remains exportable: timesheets, inspections, work orders, and customer feedback have CSV exports today; request any other customer data in a standard or reasonable format, with no exit fee.

How long does migrating take?

Timing depends on your location count, data quality, and pay cycle. Run one site first, reconcile it against your current process, then repeat at a pace your team can support.

Can I keep running my old process during the switch?

Yes. That is the point of migrating one location at a time. The rest of your operation stays on its current process until each site reconciles cleanly on CleanLog.
