Case Study: Perfect Cleaning Solutions saves 10 hours a week and £400 a month with Deputy

How one cleaning business gained clarity into staff's productivity and saved money doing it

Perfect Cleaning Solutions, a commercial cleaning company founded in 2011 in Edinburgh, grew from a small team into multiple sites across Edinburgh and West Lothian. As staffing increased, paper diaries and Excel schedules became unmanageable, causing long delays, scheduling errors and difficulty proving staff attendance to clients — prompting the owners to look for a hands-off management solution.

Switching to the Deputy app gave PCS real-time scheduling, GPS clock-ins and streamlined payroll, saving about 10 hours a week, reducing payroll admin from two days to half a day and cutting around £400 a month in payroll costs. The business gained clarity on staff productivity, reduced micromanagement, improved staff retention to roughly 40% and freed the owners to focus on growth and branding.
