If you are an employee of one of our clients, and you’re experiencing difficulties with the Freespace app or its features, your best point of contact will be your local support administrator or company’s ‘central go to person’. Your company’s ‘central go to person’ is your designated help and can advise and help you solve the difficulties you may be experiencing. If you’re not sure who this person is, you will need to ask management.
The Freespace Employee App makes it easy for colleagues to return to the office and work collaboratively alongside their team and others. From booking desks and meeting rooms to managing their work schedule and more.

Scanners
Freespace Cleanreader™ scanner is a handheld cleaner tool that assigns cleaning tasks. It is a device designed to improve efficiency, suited to your workplace cleaning requirements and policies.
You can find out more about the Cleanreader™ scanner or talk to our team of experts to see how you could benefit from this workplace technology.
The Cleanreader™ scanner is a technology solution for Freespace clients. The handheld cleaning devices are shipped to clients with the Cleanreader APP already installed. The scanners are ruggedized devices capable of supporting all operations required.
Discover how the Cleanreader™ integrates with other Freespace technology solutions on the technology page.
Contact our experts to discuss how the Cleanreader™ can help your organization.
Yes. All the cleaning-related functionalities of the device will work as expected when offline. Once a connection is re-established, the data on the device will be synchronized automatically without any user intervention.
Contact our team of experts to discuss how you would like to use the Cleanreader™ scanner. If you are an existing client and would like to discuss this further, log into your account and create a ticket to contact our support team.
Yes. The Cleanreader™ technology solution works without sensors. In sites that do not have sensors, there are two methods of application:
- Category-based: we can create automatic time intervals for each type of space – for example, a washroom having an hourly job card created.
- Schedule-based: you can allot one fixed time for cleaning the entire floor/office.
Contact our team of experts to discuss an efficient cleaning technology solution for your organization.
Yes. Spaces that already have a SPOT Tag installed can be cleaned and recorded on the Cleanreader™ scanner – even if they are not on the job list. The job will still be recorded for auditing purposes but instead as a “non-scheduled” job.
Contact our team of experts to discuss the Cleanreader™ technology solution.
Freespace clients can access cleaning reports via the Freespace Analytics Portal, found under the operations/cleaning section on the left-hand menu bar.
If you are a current Freespace client, you can log into your account now from your browser.

The SPOT Platform
The SPOT platform, powered by QR codes, enables work spaces to be as flexible as possible for employees, teams and management. QR codes are installed on each desk and are individual to each space – so colleagues can check-in to use a space for the days they return to the office.
You can find out more about the SPOT platform on the technology page or speak to our sales team.
A SPOT tag is a smart-position occupancy tag that ensures a unique identity for every location at the workplace. Almost any space can be tagged and given a unique micro-location within the SPOT Platform. These can then be integrated and used in various ways: from integrating with workplace sensors to indicate a presence to enabling cleaning teams to mark spaces as clean quickly to creating socially distanced workspaces to support return-to-office policies.
Although the primary use-case for these tags is to record individual workspace occupancy and allow employees to check into a desk, the SPOT Platform is versatile and often tailored to each organization’s requirements.
Get in touch with our sales team to discuss how the SPOT Platform can work for your organization or workplace vision.
SPOT tags can improve work-life by marking every individual space within a building identifiable – forming office neighborhoods, team collaboration areas, ensuring physical distancing, and more. The tags integrate with the Cleanreader scanner to comply with cleaning priorities too.
As a baseline, the SPOT tag provides the following merits:
- Space marking identification
- Hyperlocal information
- Cleaning compliance
You can contact our team today to find out more.
