TalkBeam for Cleaning & janitorial
TalkBeam is a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app that connects cleaning crews, supervisors and the office across every building you service, with check-ins for people working alone at night and a searchable record of every call.
CH 01The problem
Night shifts, many buildings and cleaners who often work alone.
A supervisor covering four buildings can’t reach everyone with one radio system.
With TalkBeam
One channel for the night crew, or one per building, with an all-call for everyone.
A cleaner alone on an empty floor at 1 a.m. has nobody checking on them.
With TalkBeam
Lone-worker check-ins escalate a missed “Are you OK?”, man-down detection catches a fall, and SOS sends an alert with a location.
Supervisors spend the night on the road and on the phone.
With TalkBeam
The live map shows who’s where, and supervisors talk through CarPlay or a headset.
A client asks for a spill to be cleaned, and the message passes through three people.
With TalkBeam
Direct talk gets it to the right cleaner, and it’s in the transcript.
When a client asks whether something was done, nobody can say for sure.
With TalkBeam
What crews report on the channel is searchable by building, floor or suite.
Radios and chargers for every cleaner eat into thin margins.
With TalkBeam
Crews use the phones they already carry.
CH 02A day on TalkBeam
A commercial cleaning company runs night crews across four office buildings on TalkBeam Enterprise, with lone-worker check-ins on.
When the property manager asks whether the lobby was burnished, the supervisor searches “Tower B” and has the answer.
Illustrative scenario. People, places and times are made up; the features are real.
Evening, all. Tower B needs the lobby floors burnished tonight. Maria, you’re on it.
Copy, Tower B lobby after trash.
Maria at Tower B checked in: OK.
Client in Suite 400 left a note: coffee spill by the kitchen.
Tom, grab the extractor from the van. I’ll swing by at midnight.
Tower B lobby is done. Heading to Tower C.
CH 03What you get
Everything a two-way radio does, on the phone, headset or vehicle your people already have, plus the things a radio never could.
A channel per crew, site, shift or job, and the people who need each one. Supervisors can sit on all of them.
People working alone get an “Are you OK?” check-in on your schedule. A missed check-in escalates to a supervisor.
When a phone detects a crash or a fall with no movement and nobody answers “Are you OK?”, supervisors get an alert with the location.
Hold SOS and the channels you choose get an alert with your location. Teammates tap On my way.
See everyone who’s sharing their location on one map, and who’s talking right now.
Private one-to-one talk for the conversation that shouldn’t go to the whole channel, still kept in company transcripts.
Every transmission becomes text with a time and a name, so anyone can scroll back or search what was said.
Talk through AirPods, a Bluetooth or wired headset, Ray-Ban or Oakley Meta glasses, Apple Watch, CarPlay or the phone itself.
Features marked Enterprise are part of the Enterprise plan. TalkBeam isn’t an emergency service and doesn’t contact 911.

CH 06FAQ
Yes. They install TalkBeam on their iPhone (Android is coming soon on Google Play) and join with your company code. You can remove anyone from the console when they leave.
On Enterprise, a cleaner turns on lone-worker mode for the shift. TalkBeam asks “Are you OK?” at the interval you set, and a missed check-in escalates to a supervisor.
Yes, for crew members sharing their location on a company channel.
TalkBeam needs Wi-Fi or cellular data. Check below-grade spaces during your trial; a phone with no signal reconnects when it gets one.
No. SOS alerts the channels you choose, with the person’s location. In an emergency, call 911 first.
Teams is $8 per person per month, or $6 billed yearly, for 5 to 50 people. Enterprise, with lone-worker check-ins, is $15 per person per month billed yearly, from 25 people.
