What is laundry management software?
Laundry management software is the system a laundry business uses to take orders, price services, track garments through washing and finishing, collect payments and manage pickups, deliveries and staff. Drycare, by Mindware Infotech, covers counter laundries, wash-and-iron services, dry cleaners, self-service laundromats and multi-branch laundry chains.
What You Can Manage with Drycare
- Orders and bills: services such as wash and fold, wash and iron, steam iron, dry cleaning and stain treatment, with your own price list per branch.
- Garment tags: a barcode tag for every piece, so a busy laundry never mixes up customers.
- Work in progress: a production board and a scan station move garments from stage to stage.
- Payments: cash, UPI, card, bank transfer and prepaid wallet, with partial payments, dues and a cash drawer count for each shift.
- Pickups and deliveries: time slots, delivery areas and charges, assigned delivery staff, route planning and proof of delivery.
- Customers: profiles, addresses, memberships, loyalty points, referrals and monthly statements.
- Stock: consumables, purchases from suppliers and transfers between branches.

Laundry Software for Different Kinds of Business
A neighbourhood laundry can run one counter on a PC or an Android tablet. A laundry with home pickup gets delivery slots, standing weekly pickups and a phone screen for delivery staff. A laundry chain gets branches, a central plant, branch-wise prices and reports, and staff who only see their own branch.
Self-service laundromats have their own module for machines, cycles, weight-based pricing and a customer kiosk; see laundromat management software.
Customer Updates
Customers get order updates by email automatically. Staff can send any update on WhatsApp in one tap. Automatic SMS and WhatsApp sending needs a messaging provider account and is not switched on yet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I price by piece and by service?
Yes. Each garment type has a price per service in your price list, branches can have their own prices, and business customers can have a contract price list.
Does Drycare work without the internet?
The Windows PC edition keeps working without the internet and can sync with the cloud when it is back. The web version needs an internet connection.
Can my delivery staff use their phones?
Yes. Delivery staff see only their own stops on a phone screen, with Call and Map buttons, bag scanning, OTP or signature proof and cash collection.
Can I import my existing customers?
Yes. Customers can be imported from a CSV file, and data migration help is part of setup.
