Curbside Laundries recently announced that it’s now providing wash and fold POS systems and pickup-and-delivery solutions to 350 laundromats throughout the United States.
“It has been quite a journey,” said Aaron Simmons, a Curbside Laundries co-founder. “Just over five years ago, we were looking for POS software for our laundromat that could handle the wash and fold process. We couldn’t find a viable solution for us, so we built it ourselves.”
“We thought software development was going to be a one-year project; however, now we realize the software will never be done,” added company co-founder Matthew Simmons. “We are always releasing new features to help laundromats make more money with their pickup-and-delivery businesses.”
The company, with customers from Hawaii to New York, regularly releases software updates and offers online workshops to help its clients grow their laundry businesses.
Curbside’s 350th client is San Diego-based Freshly Folded, which is owned by Steve and Elizabeth Carlin. Freshly Folded boasts a fleet of six vehicles, services more than 2,000 customers and processes more than 30,000 pounds of laundry per month.
“We needed a company that was not only able to meet our complicated routing needs and store detailed notes for each customers’ preferences, but also a company open to hearing what their clients want and need in the software,” explained Elizabeth Carlin. “We found this blend of technical expertise, laundry know-how and open communication with Curbside Laundries.”
