Accounting

Invoicing Software for Commercial Cleaning – from the work done to your accountant.

Maintenance cleaning bills itself automatically, special cleaning straight from the services tracked. What's been done becomes an invoice – seamlessly through to the DATEV export.

Sound familiar?

Invoicing eats up your office month after month.

Typing invoices, hunting down services, matching the bank account – starting over every single month.

📝

Invoices typed by hand

Re-typing the same maintenance invoices every month – site by site. Pure busywork.

💸

Services get lost

What was actually done lives on paper slips. Special services get forgotten or underbilled.

🔌

Everything disconnected

Time tracking, invoicing, bank and accountant run separately – everything is typed in multiple times.

The Core

Two types of work, two ways of billing.

Cleaning bills in two ways. Mendato automates one and makes the other exact – instead of doing everything by hand.

Billing Type 1

Maintenance Cleaning

Fixed sites, fixed monthly amounts. These invoices don't need to be created from scratch every month – Mendato generates them automatically, on a recurring basis.

  • ✓
    Items & invoices automatically – generated every month, no manual work.
  • ✓
    Based on the service per site – set up once, runs permanently.
  • ✓
    No forgotten invoices – no more manual re-typing.
Typical for: recurring contracts – offices, clinics, schools with a fixed monthly amount.

Billing Type 2

Special Cleaning

Billed by actual work done – straight from time tracking. Whatever the employee records in the app shows up in billing immediately.

  • ✓
    Linked directly to time tracking – tracked hours & services flow into billing.
  • ✓
    What's done gets billed – whatever the unit, nothing gets lost.
  • ✓
    No re-typing – no forgotten or underbilled services.
Typical for: window, construction & deep cleaning – billed by work performed.

Create Invoices

Invoices by drag & drop – even for multiple sites.

In day-to-day cleaning, several sites often belong on one invoice. Mendato's invoicing tool is built exactly for that: you simply drag sites and items together – fast, no accounting degree required.

  • ✓
    Multiple sites on one invoice – just like in real life.
  • ✓
    Drag & drop items together instead of typing.
  • ✓
    Done in minutes – no prior knowledge needed.

Review & Correct

Everything in view – corrections in seconds.

Before anything goes out, accounting sees all items in one list and double-checks them. If there's a complaint, you reduce an amount in a few clicks.

  • ✓
    All items at a glance for cross-checking.
  • ✓
    Complaint? Adjust the amount in seconds.
  • ✓
    Approval only when everything checks out.
Paid & Closed

Who has paid? And clean handover to your accountant.

Via the bank integration you match transactions to invoices – open items are visible immediately. In the end, everything goes to your accountant ready for processing via DATEV export.

FAQ

What commercial cleaners often ask

Do I have to create recurring invoices from scratch every month?
No. You set up maintenance invoices once – with site and amount. After that, Mendato generates them automatically every month. All you do is approve.
How do special services get into the invoice?
Straight from time tracking. Whatever the employee records in the app – hours or services performed – flows automatically into billing. So you bill what was actually done, without re-typing.
Can I put several sites on one invoice?
Yes. That's exactly what Mendato is made for. You drag sites and items together onto one invoice – in day-to-day cleaning, one client often has several sites.
Can I see who has already paid?
Via the bank integration you match transactions to invoices. Open items are visible immediately – so you can follow up specifically instead of digging through bank statements.
Does the export to my accountant work?
Yes. Mendato exports ready-to-process data to DATEV or your accountant's format – no manual preparation.
What does accounting cost?
Accounting is included in all Mendato plans – at no extra cost. Plans start at 99 €/month (plus VAT) and depend on the number of your cleaners. No setup fee, no hidden costs, 7-day free trial. You'll find all plans in detail on our pricing page.
From the Field

already do their billing with Mendato.

They all realized: a normal invoicing tool doesn't reflect how a commercial cleaning company actually bills. Only automated maintenance billing, performance-based special billing from time tracking and the complete path to DATEV make accounting reliable.
