Post-Corona Lockdown times require new and innovative methods to safeguard people from getting contaminated. Solutions in the PTC sector have also been developed, such as app’s that can help laundry owners manage the flow of customers and maintain safe social distancing during their wash and dry cycles.
BBC Payments – a US-based laundry-focused payment and control systems company – has created a free ‘Wash-Dry-Go’ application platform for laundromat owners to use during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The app can be used with any brand of equipment in both attended and unattended stores. The app enables employees or customers to easily set up accounts with just their phone number and receive notifications when the cycles are complete.
Tom Merkh, the company’s president and CTO explained: “The Wash-Dry-Go concept helps laundry owners protect their customers by encouraging them to social distance or wait outside during wash and dry cycles. Afterwards they can leave the store safely and fold their clothes at home. It can be difficult for laundromats to effectively enforce this process. That is why we decided to create a free solution that keeps customers informed throughout the process. At the same time, the app helps to keep employees safe from unnecessary contact.”
