Emons building cleaning has been around for over 40 years, now in its third generation. With around 180 employees, Emons is the largest building cleaning company in Solingen. In addition to classic cleaning services, the company offers specialized services such as facade cleaning, graffiti removal, mold remediation, and disinfection services .
Although Emons had already worked with software solutions, a large part of its processes was still manual – timesheets were handwritten, and material orders were processed manually. “We had tried to digitalize with the last service provider. But there were some problems that unfortunately couldn't be implemented the way we wanted,” Dominik Clasen recalls.
When he and his wife took over, it was clear: Processes needed to become more efficient, transparent, and simpler for employees.
In search of a suitable solution, Emons came across PlanD, recommended by industry colleagues and through their own research. Dominik Clasen says: “We were highly impressed from the start. PlanD is modern, the app is well-structured, the system simply works, and you can really work with it.”
It was particularly important to him that PlanD offered a cloud solution : “I can work from anywhere, without a VPN. Even on vacation, I can access it on my phone or laptop – that provides significantly more flexibility.” Furthermore, he was convinced by the young, dynamic team, that works as an equal partner and responds quickly to feedback.
The implementation was quick and straightforward. Emons now uses all modulesthat PlanD offers:
“I believe that time tracking is where PlanD is currently the market leader. Even employees who aren't very tech-savvy can handle it. We save around 30% of time because the hours are transferred directly.”
Digital time tracking has fundamentally changed the way Emons operates. Previously, employees had to manually record their hours on A4 sheets, which were then entered manually in the office. Today, tracking is done directly in the app – sources of error are reduced, data is automatically transferred and management receives a real-time overview of all employees and projects. This not only saves time, but also ensures greater transparency with customers and the team.
“We're now getting more and more feedback that vacation requests are running smoothly.”
Thanks to PlanD, vacation requests, sick leaves, and other absences are now digitally recorded, approved, and documented. Employees can conveniently submit their requests via the app, while managers can centrally view and approve everything This ensures fewer queries, faster approvals, and clearly traceable planning throughout the entire operation.
„Material ordering is also much more streamlined now because we were able to build a real economic system and see how consumption is.“
Digital material ordering has significantly eased daily operations at Emons. Employees can request needed products directly via the app, and management keeps an eye on inventory levels and consumption quantities. This allows for avoiding stockouts, controlling costs, and optimizing processes. At the same time, it ensures that the correct materials are released for the respective customers, preventing any mix-ups.
„If problems arise or we don't know something, it sometimes only takes a few hours to get a response. I think that's really, really great.“
PlanD's support has made a big difference for Emons. For questions or problems, there are direct lines and quick responses, so the workflow is not interrupted. In addition, Dominik Clasen appreciates the open communication and involvement in feedback, which ensures that the system is continuously improved and remains tailored to the company's needs.

With PlanD:
The app's introduction went smoothly: “At first, employees were a bit hesitant, but once we visualized the app, it was really quick to understand. There isn't a single employee who resists it.” Thanks to digitalization, Emons was able to simplify processes, save time, and create transparency, which eases the burden on both employees and management.
“We are truly very convinced by it. Everyone who works with it is positive. We are happy to pass on the feedback and recommend PlanD to other building cleaning companies.”
Thanks to PlanD, Emons has mastered digitalization, made workflows more efficient, and improved the process for everyone involved. The company is now future-proof – digital, transparent, and motivating for all employees.
