THE STORY BEHIND CLEANLEDGER
Many ideas. One shared direction.
I'm Rico Brand. CleanLedger is one of several projects that did not begin on a drawing board, but grew from experiences, problems and ideas from my own everyday life.
Each app has a different purpose. What connects them is the wish to build practical solutions that people can genuinely use – and to turn individual ideas into something lasting, one step at a time.
Why CleanLedger was created
Anyone who organises holiday accommodation, properties or cleaning teams knows the pattern: tasks sit in chats, checklists live in different places, photos are sent one by one and follow-up questions take time.
CleanLedger was created to bring these workflows together more clearly – for operators, property managers, cleaners and small teams that need to work reliably together.
CleanLedger should never feel like a heavy administration system. Behind every property, task and proof item are people, responsibility and a result that has to work in real life.
My path did not begin in software
My working life began in hospitality, service and organisation. Over many years, I learned how important clear processes, good communication and practical solutions are in everyday work.
Later came holiday accommodation, guest communication, cleaning coordination, properties, animals and many small tasks for which no simple solution seemed to exist.
That is why I started teaching myself software development step by step. Not because technology felt natural to me at the beginning, but because I wanted to do more than describe my ideas – I wanted to build them myself.
Hospitality & service
Many years of working directly with guests and teams shaped my understanding of what truly needs to work in everyday life.
Accommodation & organisation
Holiday properties brought planning, guest communication, cleaning, schedules and daily responsibility together.
Cleaning & teamwork
Scattered tasks, checklists, photos and agreements became the direct starting point for CleanLedger.
My own apps
Practical problems gradually led to CleanLedger, Yelva, SmartPOS and other digital tools.
SOVELYO & the future
Through SOVELYO, the different projects are growing into one shared long-term vision.
Many projects. One shared mindset.
CleanLedger grew from experience with accommodation, cleaning and organisation. Yelva focuses on animals. SmartPOS builds on my professional background in hospitality and service. Pines & Palms brings in the real-world experience of managing holiday stays.
These projects are not the same, and they are not meant to be. Each keeps its own name, audience and purpose.
SOVELYO is the connection behind them: look closely, think practically, learn from experience and create solutions that are useful today and can open new possibilities tomorrow.
My personal vision
My goal is to develop these projects until they can stand on their own and be maintained for the long term. At the same time, I want to work more independently of one fixed location and gain the freedom to continue developing ideas from different places.
Part of this personal vision is the idea of one day travelling on a sailing boat. Not as an end to my work, but as a mobile base from which I can keep building, discover new places and experience new stories.
The boat is not the centre of the story. It represents freedom, movement and the opportunity to continue what I have built over the long term. At the same time, SOVELYO should gradually create room for further projects involving animals, nature and communities.

CLEANLEDGER IS PART OF SOVELYO
An app for clearer workflows. An idea that goes further.
CleanLedger grew from real experience with holiday accommodation, cleaning and day-to-day organisation. Tasks, checklists, photos and agreements should not have to remain scattered across chats, spreadsheets and loose notes. CleanLedger was founded by Rico Brand. Through SOVELYO, he connects the app with other digital tools and real-world projects – each with its own purpose, but all guided by the same idea: create practical solutions that help today and open new possibilities for tomorrow.
By using CleanLedger, you support its continued development and the foundation on which the SOVELYO vision can grow.
