Route announced that four of the most respected names in commercial cleaning — Cummins Facility Services, Kleenmark, Marsden Services, and SEJ Services — have joined as founding partners on Exchange, the industry’s first subcontracting marketplace built to deliver transparent, verified, and efficient connections between prime contractors and subcontractors. Collectively, these founding partners represent more than $700M in annual service contracts, underscoring the scale and impact of this launch.

For decades, the word subcontractor came with a warning label. Exchange replaces it with a verified badge, putting insurance, certifications, and performance standards on file up front — giving primes the confidence to expand coverage into new markets and giving subcontractors the visibility to be discovered and trusted.

“Commercial cleaning subcontracting has lagged behind in digital transformation,” says Ricky Regalado, Founder of Route. “Exchange changes the game: we’re removing uncertainty, removing friction, and giving both sides the tools to get deals done faster, with confidence. With Cummins Facility Services, Kleenmark, Marsden Services, and SEJ Services as founding partners, we’re proving that subcontracting isn’t a liability anymore – it’s a growth engine.”

Exchange is designed to modernize subcontracting and create new growth paths across the cleaning industry:

- For Primes: No more turning down contracts because of limited coverage. Exchange fills gaps fast by letting primes search for verified subcontractors by zip code, certifications, expertise, service verticals, and more — or post opportunities and award with confidence. What once took weeks of calls and vetting can now happen in minutes, at scale.

- For Subcontractors: Exchange puts cleaning companies on the map, literally. With verified profiles, subcontractors gain visibility to large BSCs, receive alerts as new opportunities open in their service area, and can bid directly instead of relying on referrals or chance introductions.

Together, Exchange makes subcontracting transparent, efficient, and scalable — providing speed without lowering standards, and trust without slowing down growth.
