Scheduling is a core aspect of VP Cleaning’s business. For the company to succeed, cleaners need to know where they’re going and when, and customers must be able to post jobs and deadlines. To tackle the task, we started with FullCalendar, an open-source JavaScript event calendar, as a base, and then we amended tailored programming solutions for more customization flexibility. The finished product allows for filtering by employee, order status, date, and customer history. Employees and management can also block off days and times that they’re unavailable, like vacation weeks and holiday closures.

Similar to the admin-only employee management portal, VP’s custom solution also includes a customer management system. Like its staff counterpart, each customer has a profile account that tracks order history and reputation score.
