A CRM for window cleaners: what to look for, and what KrewDash does
A window cleaning CRM is software that holds your customers, jobs, schedule, leads and crew pay in one place, so the business does not run out of texts, spreadsheets and memory. For a window cleaning company with sales reps and subcontractor crews, the useful ones also handle door-to-door canvassing, recurring plans and commissions. KrewDash is a CRM being built with window cleaners to do exactly that, for $297 a month.

What a window cleaning CRM actually does
CRM stands for customer relationship management, but for a cleaning company it is really the operating system: where a lead comes in, how it becomes a booked job, who does the job, what the customer was told, and what everyone got paid. A spreadsheet can do pieces of this. It falls apart when you have more than a couple of people, because nobody sees the same version.
Window cleaning adds a few needs that generic tools treat as afterthoughts: seasonal and recurring work, door-to-door selling to win routes, reps and technicians paid on commission, and a crew that works from phones rather than desks.
Checklist: what to look for in a window cleaning CRM
Every lead in one place. Ads, your website, door knocks and referrals should all land in one pipeline with a stage, not five inboxes. KrewDash: lead pipeline.
Booking that cannot double-book you. A booking page that only offers real open times, and a shared calendar the crew can see. KrewDash: booking form and shared calendar.
Dispatch that does not live in a group text. Post a job, let the crew claim it, approve it. KrewDash: dispatch board.
Door-to-door tools if you sell that way. A team map, territories, callbacks and a per-rep funnel. KrewDash: canvassing map.
Recurring plans. A way to turn a one-off clean into a scheduled series the customer signs. KrewDash: service plans.
Two-way texting from a business number. Customers text; you want it all in one inbox. KrewDash: two-way SMS and missed-call text-back.
Crew pay that calculates itself. Commissions for reps and technicians, split jobs, and each person seeing their own earnings. KrewDash: commissions and crew portal.
Reviews on your terms. A way to ask happy customers for a review without auto-texting everyone. KrewDash: reviews.
Reports that separate billed from collected. How much you sold versus how much came in. KrewDash: reports.
A price that does not punish growth. Per-seat plans get more expensive with every hire. See pricing.
What KrewDash does not do yet
KrewDash does not take card payments, run formal invoicing or sync with accounting software yet. You can record payments against a job by method and see billed versus collected, but if online payments and QuickBooks are your first requirement today, a general tool like Jobber or Housecall Pro covers that now. Tap to pay is on the public roadmap, and you can vote on it.
Who KrewDash is for
Window and exterior cleaning owners with two or more people, especially reps who sell door to door.
Pressure washing and other exterior-cleaning businesses with the same workflow. Pressure washing software.
Owners who want to shape the product: every customer can request features and vote.
How much a window cleaning CRM costs
Published prices for tools in this space run from about $49 to $79 a month for a single user up to several hundred a month for bigger teams, and many charge per seat. KrewDash is $297 a month for the whole team, or $97 for the owner plus two crew, with the same features on both. Full pricing and comparison.
Questions
What is the best CRM for a window cleaning business?
It depends on how you work. If you sell door to door and pay reps and technicians per job, choose one with a canvassing map, a commission ledger and a crew portal. If you mostly need invoicing and card payments, a general field-service app may fit better today. KrewDash is being built to be the best all-in-one for window cleaners, with customers voting on what gets built.
Do I need a CRM if I only have a few crew members?
Once two or more people book or do jobs, a shared system saves you from double bookings, lost leads and pay arguments. The $97 plan is priced for the owner plus two crew.
Does a window cleaning CRM handle door-to-door sales?
Only some do. KrewDash has a team door-knocking map, territories, callbacks and a per-rep funnel, and a rep can book a job from a door pin.
Can a CRM pay my subcontractors?
KrewDash tracks what each crew member earned, what was sent and what is pending, and lets them confirm a payout when it lands. It does not move money or file taxes.
How long does it take to get set up?
KrewDash is built and branded for you and live in 72 hours, after a short onboarding call.
