provvio vs Janitorial Manager.
provvio is built for cleaning teams whose contracts depend on proving each visit happened, not on running every back-office module in one suite.
Business management vs proof of service.
Janitorial Manager is an all-in-one janitorial management suite: mobile timekeeping, work loading and bidding, inventory, inspections, and a client portal with QR-code area scans. It is built to run the whole cleaning business.
provvio starts from a different question: how do you prove to the client that the work actually happened? Every visit is built around a GPS-verified check-in, structured before-and-after photos, a checklist, and a branded report the client can inspect without chasing your office.
If the commercial lever in your business is client trust, defensible per-visit evidence, and winning tenders on documentation, provvio is the sharper tool. If you want estimating, inventory, and inspections consolidated in one platform, Janitorial Manager covers more operational ground.

Where provvio is different
Janitorial Manager runs the business. provvio proves the work.
Janitorial Manager is a broad janitorial-management suite: timekeeping, work loading and bidding, inventory, inspections, and a client portal. provvio does one job deeply, proving to the client that the right work happened at the right site, with a GPS-verified check-in, before-and-after photos, a checklist, and a branded report they can open themselves.
Proof per visit, not inspection by inspection.
Janitorial Manager's evidence is built around periodic inspections and Scan4Clean QR scans. provvio produces a complete, client-ready proof record for every single visit automatically, so the documentation exists whether or not anyone scheduled an inspection that week.
Less to roll out, faster to value.
You don't need to adopt bidding, inventory, and work-loading modules to solve 'prove the overnight clean happened'. provvio is self-serve and drops in alongside what you already run, producing proof from the first visit instead of after a guided implementation.
The report is what wins the tender.
When the person paying you can open a branded proof report for any visit, renewals get easier and tenders get winnable on documentation. That per-visit, client-facing evidence layer is exactly what provvio is built to deliver.
Questions
Is provvio a Janitorial Manager alternative?
provvio is an alternative for the specific job of proving service work to clients. If your real problem is 'prove the visit happened and win the next tender on documentation', provvio is more focused. If you also need bidding, work loading, inventory, and inspections in one suite, Janitorial Manager covers more ground but proves less per visit.
What is the difference between Janitorial Manager and provvio?
Janitorial Manager is an all-in-one janitorial business platform: timekeeping, work loading and bidding, inventory, inspections, and a client portal with QR area scans. provvio is proof of service: a GPS-verified check-in, timestamped photos, a checklist, and an automatic branded report per visit. Janitorial Manager runs the operation; provvio proves it to the client.
Can I use provvio alongside Janitorial Manager?
Yes. Many cleaning teams keep a management or bidding suite and add provvio purely for the client-facing proof layer: GPS check-ins, photo evidence, and a branded report per visit.
Which is better for a smaller cleaning business?
If you want client-ready proof without implementing a full management suite, provvio is self-serve and running in under 30 minutes. Janitorial Manager is stronger if you want estimating, inventory, and inspections consolidated into one platform and are ready for a guided rollout.
