Which fits your next contract?

When BidLoom fits

Choose BidLoom when the gap is estimating cleaning hours and turning labor, supplies and margin into a commercial bid. You can keep your existing operations process; no automatic Jobber integration is included.

When Jobber fits

Consider Jobber when recurring visits, crews, client approvals, invoicing and payments are central to the decision. Its commercial cleaning offer is relevant even if you never do residential work.

Evaluate both on the same scope

  1. In BidLoom, build the cleaning scope from rooms, tasks and frequencies. In Jobber, assess how you will supply labor quantities and costs for that same scope.
  2. Reconcile the employer labor cost and supplies before setting a selling price. BidLoom uses profit margin; check how Jobber’s cost and markup choices translate to your target profit.
  3. Try the client handoff: a downloadable proposal versus the online approval/deposit workflow. Decide which process your facility managers need.
  4. Include recurring schedules, crew access and billing in the evaluation. Compare equivalent seat counts and billing commitments, not just the advertised starting price.

Review the assumptions before quoting

BidLoom’s state defaults are starting estimates, not your company’s assessed rates. FUTA credit reductions, some state assessments and local employer levies still need separate review. BidLoom does not calculate Service Contract Act wages or required fringe benefits.
