COMMERCIAL CLEANING may come across as a fairly low-tech industry, but the folks at Anago are

crediting technology for helping to fuel their successful growth over the past year. In 2019, Anago

launched a new proprietary app for its franchisees called CleanCom. The app allows clients to easily

connect in real time with their local Anago franchisee to ask questions, report problems, request addi-

tional services, and even send photos.
