The Challenge

Recurring facility work across many buildings is hard to manage in spreadsheets

Facility services teams manage recurring work across many buildings, clients, floors, departments, and service areas. Managers need one system to plan work, verify attendance, assign tasks, track completion, and prepare clean records — for both operations and the customer.

Spreadsheets, paper checklists, and email chains lose context fast. A missed task at one site might surface as a customer complaint a week later. A new building means recreating the same plan from scratch.

Grownu brings recurring schedules, GPS time, tasks, documents, PTO, and reports into one operations platform built for facility services teams.
