Workforce planning and financial control software for building-cleaning services
Mendato builds operations software for the cleaning-services sector, combining staff scheduling with accounting controls. The stack is modern (React Native, Node.js, GraphQL, AWS) and signals a mobile-first approach—critical for field teams. Active hiring across engineering, marketing, and support suggests customer acquisition and retention are scaling in parallel, though pain-point data reveals friction in onboarding and lead generation that suggest product-market fit is still being refined.
Mendato is a Berlin-based SaaS company founded in 2019 serving cleaning contractors and facilities managers. The core product automates staff scheduling (Personalplanung), billing/accounting, and job dispatch. Revenue comes from mid-market cleaning businesses replacing spreadsheet-driven workflows with cloud software. The company operates with a small, distributed team concentrated in Germany, using a modern JavaScript/React stack deployed on AWS. Current friction points center on customer onboarding, digitalization of field operations, and offline-first functionality for teams without reliable connectivity on job sites.
React Native, Node.js, React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and AWS for the core platform. Development tools include GitHub Copilot and Cursor. Design workflows use Adobe Premiere Pro, Canva, and Photoshop.
Active projects include customer success process improvements, product refinement based on user feedback, social media expansion, and marketing content development. Pain points suggest focus on onboarding workflows and offline functionality for field teams.
