About DockBeacon

DockBeacon is a ready-to-leave cleaning van check and exception board for small commercial cleaning teams. It helps owners and supervisors see which vans can leave, which are blocked, and what needs fixing before crews leave.

What DockBeacon does

DockBeacon gives small cleaning teams a daily van check for gear, supplies, PPE, open issues, and blockers before the first route starts.

  • Shows whether each van can leave, can leave with follow-up, is blocked, or has not been checked today.
  • Keeps missing gear, low supplies, and open issues visible until someone reviews them.
  • Helps supervisors assign fixes before crews leave.

Who it is for

DockBeacon fits small commercial cleaning companies with shared vans, gear, supplies, and a morning process that currently depends on paper, texts, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, or memory.

  • Owners and supervisors running 1-10 vans or crews.
  • Teams that need a clear answer before crews leave.
  • Crew leads who can complete a practical phone-friendly van check.

What DockBeacon is not

DockBeacon is deliberately narrow. It is built around ready-to-leave cleaning van checks before crews leave.

  • No GPS tracking or route monitoring.
  • No payroll, invoicing, CRM, or route optimization.
  • Not fleet management or a full janitorial management suite.
