How can a laundry business manage multiple branches?
A multi-branch laundry needs one system where each store books its own orders, garments are tracked between stores and the plant, prices and staff are controlled per branch, and the owner sees every store together. Drycare does this with branches, facility transfers scanned out and in, branch price lists, branch-limited staff and store-wise reports.
Store-to-Plant Garment Transfers
Pack
The store scans every garment into bags for the plant. A bag cannot leave with a garment missing unless a manager records why.Receive
The plant scans the bags in. Only scanned garments count as arrived; anything short is recorded with a note.Process
The plant works through the stages, with machine loads, quality checks and racking.Return
Ready garments go back to the store the same way, and each garment's location is always known: shop, in transit, plant or collected.
Control Across Branches
- A central price list with branch-specific prices, and contract prices for business customers.
- Staff roles limited to the branches they work in, with every sensitive action in the audit log.
- Store-wise sales, collections, dues and service reports, with branch comparison on the dashboard.
- Stock of consumables by location, purchases, and stock transfers between branches.
- Equipment and maintenance records per branch, with service reminders and machine down time.
Commercial and Business Customers
Hotels, salons, hospitals and other business customers can have a credit limit, payment terms and their own price list. Bills fall due on their terms, dues are shown by age, payment reminders go out on chosen days, and monthly statements can be printed or emailed.
Machine loads record which garments went into which machine and program, with running times, for plants that need to measure throughput.
Franchise Networks
Each franchise store works as a branch with its own staff, prices and reports, while the owner keeps one view of the whole network. Plans with more branches and devices are listed on the pricing page; larger networks can talk to us about setup and data migration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can branch staff see other branches?
No, unless you allow it. Staff can be limited to their own branches, and the server enforces this, not just the menu.
Can each branch have different prices?
Yes. There is a central price list, branch prices, and contract price lists for business customers.
Does Drycare support a central processing plant?
Yes. Facility transfers move garments between stores and the plant in scanned bags, with partial receipts recorded and every garment's location tracked.
