In an age in which life moves a mile a minute, both residents and property managers are searching for modern laundry solutions. Long gone are the days of frustrating payment systems and waiting for a cycle to finish– the LaundryConnect™ app has eliminated these concerns. From streamlining payment with Bluetooth-connected funds to increasing efficiency with cycle notifications, LaundryConnect™ is the leading innovation in the industry. This blog post will outline three transformative aspects of Automatic Laundry’s innovative app: simplified payment methods, machine tracking, and benefits for management.
Easy Payment with LaundryConnect™
One of the most persistent challenges in residential laundry facilities is the reliance on outdated and inefficient payment methods. Tenants are consistently expecting greater quality from facilities every day, which is why managers must push the forefront of technology and efficiency. Traditional systems that use coins, cards or cash can be cumbersome at best, and at worst, prevent residents from getting the services they need in order to empower their lives and confidently trust their facilities.
The LaundryConnect™ app offers a streamlined solution to these problems by enabling mobile-based payments directly from a user’s smartphone. The app eliminates the need for physical currency like coins, cash, or old-fashioned cards. Residents can add funds through a user-friendly interface, ensuring a seamless transaction each time they use the app.
In addition to its cashless payment system, the LaundryConnect™ app leverages Bluetooth technology to connect with machines directly, enabling residents to start laundry cycles without requiring an active internet connection. In lower building levels where wi-fi or reception can be unreliable, this can provide ease of access in order for residents to get back to their busy lives.
Planning with Machine Tracking
Waiting for a laundry cycle to finish or going back-and-forth between the laundry room can be time-consuming and frustrating. One of the core features of the LaundryConnect™ app is its real-time machine tracking, which enables residents to monitor the progress of their laundry cycles remotely. By using the app, users can see how long a washing or drying cycle has left, eliminating the uncertainty of whether a machine is available.
This increased visibility will markedly improve residents’ ability to manage their time. Instead of physically checking on machines or waiting in common areas, users can spend their time outside of the laundry room. For individuals wanting to get back to their regular schedules and busy lives, the ability to coordinate laundry tasks around other responsibilities is a significant convenience. In order to take control of laundry day, tenants can use the app to keep an eye on their cycle time and limit the time wasted waiting.
In addition to tracking active cycles, the LaundryConnect™ app also provides real-time updates on machine availability. Residents can check which washers or dryers are open before leaving their units, helping to avoid peak usage times and crowded laundry rooms. This not only reduces frustration but also fosters a more controlled and regulated community space. Tenants can expect an orderly laundry room– one lacking crowds, filled machines, and ongoing cycles.
Provider Support and Benefits with LaundryConnect™
With property maintenance costs being so highly variable, property managers are constantly on the hunt for solutions that provide peace of mind and flexibility. An article from Forbes states that things like age, tenant turnover and size can impact costs for maintenance, which leads property managers to search for solutions. Automatic Laundry has been lowering these general running costs, and with the LaundryConnect™ app, benefits for management are at an all-time high.
Maintenance costs can fluctuate greatly and deeply affect laundry facilities, but the LaundryConnect™ app introduces a streamlined approach. With its integrated service tracking and expert diagnostics, the app allows both property managers and service providers to easily monitor machine performance and identify issues with detailed reports and information. Each washer and dryer connected to the LaundryConnect™ system communicates service needs in real time, flagging specific malfunctions and automatically notifying service providers through advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
In addition to technical diagnostics, LaundryConnect™ supports 24/7 system monitoring. This allows service departments to prioritize their time and resources more effectively, shifting focus toward other building management tasks without compromising laundry room performance. Residents benefit as well; should a rare issue arise, app users can use the “Service Alert” feature to report a problem or request assistance. In many cases, simple troubleshooting tips provided through the app may help resolve the issue immediately, avoiding the need for service calls altogether. With LaundryConnect™, the problems providers have faced with outdated maintenance technology are a thing of the past.
Conclusion
The LaundryConnect™ app by Automatic Laundry is a tool that revolutionizes the way property managers and tenants go about their day-to-day lives. With features like real-time machine tracking, cycle alerts, and secure mobile payments, it offers a comprehensive solution that saves time and enhances tenant experience.
