Press release: M-Bytes and FacilityApps will continue together in the cleaning industry

Purmerend, Monday October 13, 2025

Two independent Dutch software companies are a new force in the digitalization of cleaning companies

M-Bytes BV and FacilityApps announced today that they are joining forces. This strategic collaboration brings together two well-known names in Dutch cleaning software, creating an organization that offers a fully integrated solution for the entire cleaning industry. The merger combines M-Bytes' advanced calculation software, specially developed for cleaning calculations, with FacilityApps' planning and app software. This creates one powerful solution that helps cleaning companies digitize their operational work processes from start to finish.

From a one-man company to a team

In the cleaning industry, the need for software solutions that seamlessly connect different parts of business operations is growing. Ben Eltink, director of M-Bytes, explains: "I have been developing software for calculation and quality control for years, but I do so as a one-man company. The customer base has grown steadily every year, and this felt like the right time to take the next step. Customers are increasingly asking for more security and continuity and I would also like to grow and be part of a team. I have known the people at FacilityApps for years, and the feeling of moving forward together is just good."

The new combination focuses on medium-sized and large cleaning organizations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Many of these companies still perform calculations on paper or in Excel, which poses significant limitations for efficient and accurate execution.

• Limitations of paper and Excel:This approach is not flexible and does not offer advanced functionalities, making it difficult to perform complex calculations optimally.
• Aging expertise:experienced calculators are getting older, while young talent expects digital tools to work productively.
• Time-intensive and error-prone:manual processes take a lot of time and increase the risk of errors, especially when multiple employees make changes to the same Excel files without a central overview.
• Lack of coordination:Without version management or historical data, it is difficult to coordinate adjustments, especially with regularly changing building conditions.

By using specialized software, cleaning companies can store calculations in a central database. This provides version control and historical insights, makes coordination easier and enables organizations to respond flexibly to changes in buildings. The result: more efficiency, fewer errors and a future-proof approach that is attractive to both experienced and young talent.

The (combined) platform offers, among other things:

• Accurate calculations of cleaning times based on room type and contamination
• Overviews per location, department, task or cost center via the calculation module
• 1 central database that replaces outdated Excel files
• Easy comparison and adjustment of different versions per contract/location
• Various output options to work programs and work instructions: paper, PDF or Excel
• Easy import of space maps, glass data and more with immediately visible changes

Growing demand for integrated solutions

“At many cleaning companies, the process still runs through different systems,” says Dirk Tuip, founder of FacilityApps. “From preparing quotations to planning and carrying out recurring or additional work, checking off tasks from the work program and quality control at the end — each part is often done in a different system. “By bundling our expertise, we now offer one integrated solution that supports the entire workflow: from calculation and planning to execution and quality assurance.”
