Customers get a price and book on your own site. Cleaners see their day on their phone, and every clean ends with a checklist and photos. We set it all up for you, and you pay 3.5% of what you bill, nothing before that.
Oven done as you asked. Just so you know, you're nearly out of dishwasher tablets.

“How many bedrooms? Bathrooms? Do you want the oven done?”
Prices come from your own rules: rooms, hours, extras, and weekend and public-holiday rates. Customers see the price before they book.
You only find out when the customer phones you, angry.
Cleaners check in with their location. You're alerted when someone is late, hasn't checked in or is far from the address.
“The bathroom wasn't touched.” It's their word against your cleaner's.
Every clean has a checklist and photos, and the customer sees them as soon as it's done.
Working out hours, extras and cancellations for each cleaner from a calendar.
Hours worked are tracked for you. Export them for payroll, or pay contractors through weekly payout runs.
Customers answer your questions and see a VAT-inclusive price straight away, including any extras and weekend or holiday rates.
Regular cleans repeat by themselves, with a discount for regulars if you want one. Customers can skip or move a single clean.
Each service has its own checklist. Cleaners tick it off on their phone, and photos are the proof.
Auto-assign puts each customer's regular cleaner first, then balances workloads and keeps travel short. You approve what it suggests.
Saved cards charged after each clean, numbered VAT invoices, and cancellation fees that follow the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).
Access notes are encrypted and only shown to the cleaner on that job.
No setup bill, no subscription, no contract. We earn when you do: 3.5% of what you bill your customers through Zila. If you bill nothing in a month, you pay nothing.
Send us your services and prices. We load them, along with your team, your customers and your logo and colours.
No monthly fee, no seat licences and no contract. If a quiet month brings no cleans, you get no bill.
Single cleans, plans billed monthly in advance and prepaid bundles all count the same way. You get one invoice a month, and it's the only thing you pay us.
You also get a direct WhatsApp line to the team building Zila, and a say in what we build next.
Your customers pay you directly through your own Paystack account, and Zila never holds your money. Paystack's card fees are separate and go to Paystack. Our 3.5% is worked out on your amounts before VAT, and our fee includes VAT where it applies.

Invite your team and customers. You only start paying once you bill customers through Zila.
No. A booked clean counts once when it's completed, however many people work on it.
Yes, if you want them to. For each service you decide whether you assign cleaners, customers choose one, or the job is offered to eligible cleaners and the first to accept gets it.
On what you bill your customers through Zila, before VAT: single cleans, plans billed monthly in advance and prepaid bundles. Refunds and credit notes come off. It's the same whether the customer pays by card, by EFT or in cash. A clean you cancel without charging for it costs you nothing.
Yes. You never pay for setup, seats or a subscription. Each month you get one invoice for 3.5% of what you billed that month, and that's all.
No. WhatsApp messages, clean reports and photos, hosting, updates and support are all included in the 3.5%.
There's no contract. Export your customers, bookings and invoices and stop whenever you want. You pay only for what you've already billed.
Good, that makes the move easier. Send us your current list of customers, staff and prices in any format, and we'll load them into your new site for you.
No. Customers book on your website and sign in with a code sent to their WhatsApp. Your team uses a web app that installs to their phone's home screen and still works when there's no signal.
For card payments, yes. Payments go into your own account, not ours. If you don't have one yet, we'll help you set it up.
Tell us a little about your business and we'll build your site with your own services, prices and brand. You'll see it before you commit to anything.
We'll WhatsApp you within 3 working days with a link to your booking site. Its suggested address:
