So to help you with it, Quick Dry Cleaning Software has come up with a smart on demand dry cleaning business software to help you adopt on-demand in your business and take your business to new heights.

With the help of on demand mobile application for your customers and QDC Mobile POS Application for your drivers, Quick Dry Cleaning Software has simplified the on-demand process for you and your customers.

The post How on-demand works in your dry cleaning and laundry business appeared first on Quickdrycleaning.

Allow yourself to step off the holding of a laundry or dry cleaning business owner for a while. Step in the shoes of a regular consumer. What are your daily needs in the current day and how are they fulfilled?

Let’s take an example.

Remember the old days, when for hiring a taxi you’d walk halfway with your luggage to the taxi stand, find a taxi (if you are lucky enough) and then still be worried about the fare?

And now, with just one simple click on your smartphone over the Uber app, you get a ride in no time, plus the which allow you to make choices about payment, time, fare, location and also gives you numerous other options to choose from.

Well, that’s on-demand business model for you. Uber is one of the most significant examples of this economy. In this article, I’m going to show you how YOU can be the Uber of the Dry Cleaning and Laundry Business. Let’s go step-by-step.

What is on-demand?

As simply as the word goes, on-demand means a business model where everything required by a customer is available on his demand, at his location, at his preferred time and cost. In an on-demand economy, the customers get immediate access to services or products via technology.

For example: A dry cleaner offering on-demand would give his/her customers the freedom to choose pick-up/delivery dates and times hence reducing the cases of wrong or late deliveries. Imagine how happy and satisfied your customers will become and guess what, this is just one of the few things offered by on demand dry cleaning business software.

Why on-demand?

Every economy is run by its consumers, and the present generation has already witnessed a paradigm shift in the consumer behavior. Today people want the instant gratification of their needs, and that is why on-demand works.

Now, the paradigm has shifted from ownership to accessibility. Nobody cares about owning a BMW but surely appreciates if he/she could hire/rent the BMW in the hour of need. Same goes for all business models adopted by similar apps like Uber, Jugnoo, Urbanclap, Swiggy, and others.

“The on-demand hyper-growth is upon us. In the next 5 to 20 years most of the people will be able to get anything within a 5 to 60-minute window.” -Gary V. (Author, SME, and Entrepreneur)

The need or demand arises every day, and as an entrepreneur, you need to figure out a way to fill the gap between demand and supply and present your customers with a service or a product which is convenient, fast, cheap, and minimizes human efforts.

Your own on-demand

Coming to the dry cleaning business, are you able to fulfil demands of your customers? Are you available for your customers in a 5 to 60-minute window? Because if you are not, then sadly someone else will grab the opportunity and take your customers away.

Don’t be worried about such prominent threats in the market anymore.

At Quick Dry Cleaning Software (QDC), we care about your business and its okay if you are not on the on demand plan yet. But it is high time to be a part of this surge.

After catering to hundreds of laundry business owners over the world and providing them with software solutions, the team QDC recently established the emergency of an on-demand business model and here’s what we have come up with.

Well, do you track the garments as a dry cleaning or laundry business owner? Or do you enable your customers this relief of transparency?

If not, then here’s a tale of garment tracking, which will make you wonder why have you not yet enabled garment tracking to your business!

Meet Marina.

“I have been a regular customer of XYZ Laundry for over two years. Be it formals or my expensive ethnic wear; I have always trusted their service but then the relation became sour.

Once I insisted for an urgent garment delivery for an important occasion but not only they delivered late but also dropped in a wrong garment. This made me question their credibility but later, they also misplaced one of my garments.

Getting a wrong delivery or late delivery was still fixable but losing garments made me loose the trust and respect I had for their service. After several complaints, I noticed a significant change.

To my surprise, now they deliver right on time and in the past few months there hasn’t been even a single case of garment loss or wrong delivery. Now, all my clothes come with a computerized barcode tag which has all details of my order and I guess that’s the reason behind better and timely services. I do not know the entire story, but the new technology has helped XYZ to achieve their lost respect and trust back in my eyes!”

Let’s hear about the story from Mr. John, the store owner himself.

Other than XYZ laundry in ABC market area, he owns few other stores in the neighboring city. With several hundred clothes coming in every day, it must be a hassle to manage and take care of each customer’s clothes and requirements. How does Mr. John manage it all? Let’s ask him!

Meet Mr. John

“Been in this business for around a decade, I have made this business brick by brick. With times evolving and business growing, the management got tougher. I started hearing frequent complaints about wrong or late deliveries and also there were numerous cases of garment loss.

This discouraged me because not only I was losing customer’s trust in my services but I was also facing a huge financial loss because of paying compensation. Even the wrong deliveries were bothersome because these wasted the entire day of my delivery boys and all my money and time were going down the drain.

Dejected and helpless in tracking garment loss and fixing deliveries, I finally came across QDC Software. Apprehensive about the change and technology, I took a free trial.

Being not from the technical background, I initially thought that using this software will be a hassle. But once I opted for the free trial, I realized that this software is not only simple and reliable, but it is also very easy to learn and helpful in tracking.

Being a cloud-based software, QDC helps me in tracking the garment status and keeps me updated even when I am physically absent from my store. So without any further ado, I chose QDC Software, and within a week I set up the entire garment tracking mechanism. With this system, I scan the tagged garments at three stages:

• When the customer drops in the clothes
• When the clothes arrive and leave the workshop
• When I deliver them to my customers

In these three steps of scans, I get a full transparent report of where and how many of my clothes are at what point in time. Garment tracking makes sure that every cloth is received and delivered without risks of thefts or pilferages. This has increased my accountability as I can answer my clients at any time about the status of their clothes.”

So, that’s one tale of happiness!

With QDC Software barcode enabled garment tracking mechanism, all your garment loss and delivery issues can be fixed once and for all. That means no unhappy customers, no compensation and a hell lot of savings! Assure your customers that you will deliver not only on time but will also take their belongings and never let them face a loss!

Opt for QDC Software by clicking here for your free trial and improvise your dry cleaning or laundry business as well the experience of your customers.

The post Garment Tracking in Dry Cleaning Business, Now Simplified! appeared first on Quickdrycleaning.

Raj has solved this problem using Automated Garment Tagging and I’m here to tell you how you can too.

We have already discussed all the Problems haunting the Laundry and Dry Cleaning Business. The majority of these problems are owing to the ancient practices followed in carrying out the business. With the advent of new technology in the Dry Cleaning Business, these problems have been solved but a solution cannot take root if people are not aware about them, so in our previous article we told you about the Tips to Unlock Your Dry Cleaning Business Potential.

We can all agree on the fact that tags are one of the most essential component contributing to the smooth functioning of a garment cleaning business. After all, they are the only link between the garment and it’s owner. Ideally, tags should provide the following information:

• Customer identity
• Order Number
• Service to be performed
• Due date
• Any additional information (if required)

But the real question is, How effective a manual tag really is?

A traditional manual tag looks something like this:

This does not seem very impressive, does it? That is because there is a limit to what one can fit onto that small piece of cloth. Manually at least.

Traditionally, after a customer drops the garments at your store, one of your employees takes the bundle of those garments and duplicate copy of the receipt. He then starts making tags for those garments. Cutting them, writing necessary information from the duplicate order receipt and then attaching them to the garments. This process, apart from being very time consuming, is highly prone to errors on the account of it being dependent on a person. Sometimes leading to huge confusion in orders and ultimately resulting in compensations.

Manual Tags are also not very effective at solving the main purpose of the tagging i.e. providing all the relevant info. Hence manual tags do not provide all the relevant information.

However, there is practically no limit to what technology can help you achieve. And here in enters the Automated Garment Tagging System. I will explain to you all that an automated tagging system can help you achieve and then you can determine it’s value and relevance in your business.

TAKES LESS THAN 2 SECONDS

In an automated garment tagging system, the tags for every individual garment get printed as soon as you generate the order. These tags can then be attached to the garments with the help of a tag gun. Simple!

PROVIDES ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION

Order number, name of the customer, service to be performed, unique barcode (I’ll tell you what it does later), color of the garment, defects (if any), any special remarks, You name it and it is there on the tag in a very systematic manner. An automated tag can also bear your branding because let’s face it, no one goes through the trouble of removing the tag before delivery so why not use that for advertisement.

FOOLPROOF

With automated tags that are printed through the system, there is absolutely no chance of errors. So there is very little chance of wrong deliveries.

IT’S DIRT CHEAP

On the outside it might seem like implementing Automated Garment Tagging might cost a fortune. Well, no. It actually costs less than manual tagging. And I’m not even considering the costs you have to bear due to its inefficiencies like wrong deliveries and loss of garments

BARCODE ENABLED GARMENT TRACKING

Do you remember that unique barcode on every tag I told you about? It empowers you with Barcode Enabled Garment Tracking Mechanism. This means that you can track garments at every stage of process (even from store to workshop) and say goodbye to garment losses. No more compensations. Great! Isn’t it?

So this is how Raj solved his problem of manually tagging garments. He did not just solve the problem, he actually saved a ton of money avoiding compensations. More than money, Raj earned the trust of his customers thus ensuring their loyalty.

The post How To Unlock The Potential Of Your Dry Cleaning/Laundry Business appeared first on Quickdrycleaning.

You as a laundry owner can very well manage the cleaning of clothes well but what happens after they are cleaned? Even the most managed laundry business set ups are haunted with problems like lost clothes, wrong deliveries, missing tags and lack of customer communication. This definitely results in unhappy customers and eventually unhappy business owners. The reason these problems exist is not the incapability of the business owner or the inefficiency of your staff but the ‘ancient’ tools and techniques used in the management. Let’s discuss these rampant problems and the reasons behind them.

The first would be Customer Dissatisfaction. Being in a highly competitive service business, customer satisfaction is the point of ‘make-or-break’ which means that it can either make you Invincible or make it easier for your competitors. Talking about competitive, there is a huge competition which exists in the market so the Scope of Expansion is very limited. Add Poor Business Management over that and it becomes a recipe for disaster. Poor business management comes from the manual style of working where there is mostly one person trying to manage everything on his own, so the business becomes Dependent on Your Physical Presence. And if you are managing everything (well…at least trying to), How do you take out Time for Yourself?

Acknowledging the problems is the first step on the road to success, or more like half-a-step. Identification of the cause(s) of problems is what defines your journey to Business Success. Don’t worry! You don’t have to go all Sherlock on your problems now. We have identified the Causes for you.

• Infinite Record Books – Okay, infinite might be an exaggeration but a dry cleaner maintains AT LEAST 3-4 record books. Order Book, Cash Book, Workshop Register, this book, that book. So many books. Seems more like a library than a dry cleaning store.
• Wrong Deliveries – Some garments are not unpacked for months after dry cleaning and if you deliver a wrong garment in such an order, good luck finding where it went. By the time it will be identified, you would have already paid Compensation and Lost a customer.
• Manual Garment Tagging – Tagging is a huge ‘bottleneck’ in a laundry and dry cleaning store operations. Even after investing huge amounts of Time, Money and Manpower we are only able to produce tags which give Incomplete information, are prone to errors due to human dependency and put your Brand in a poor light.
• Losing of Clothes – Numerous reasons lead to the loss of garments. It may be employee pilferage or wrong delivery. It may even be Poor Garment Tracking (or a lack thereof), but whatever may be the reason it definitely leads to Customer Dissatisfaction and Compensations.
• No Record of Accounts Receivables – It’s ironic how even after having mountains of record books, it is difficult for a Laundry or Dry Cleaning Business owner to keep track of his accounts receivables. All that hard earned money just sitting there in figures, buried in the bill books instead of being in your pocket.
• Manual Account Keeping – An average dry cleaner spends around 2 hours a day to maintain accounts. If we assume that you work 25 days in a month, It brings the total close to 500 hours spent on an activity which no one likes.
• Lack of Customer Communication – Have you ever had to send back a waiting customer just because his order wasn’t ready? Take it from me, as a customer it happened to me once. Never went back to that dry cleaner again. My new Dry Cleaner sends a ‘Garments Ready’ SMS, which is probably easier for the dry cleaners as well.
• Stocktaking – Keeping track of all the garments in your store is a huge task, especially since there is no method for a Laundry or Dry cleaning business owner to handle stock taking. That is the reason why most of us avoid doing it all together. That’s the same as inviting notorious employees to steal from you.
• Workload Management – How do you determine the delivery dates for your orders? Most of us do it on gut basis or take a buffer of a certain standard number of day which is predetermined (also based on gut). I wonder how can someone’s ‘gut’ store and process such crucial data. If only there was a proper system of Workload Management, hmmmm…

Now you must be thinking, “Great. You identified the problems. Big Deal. How do I SOLVE these problems?”. Well, for that you’ll have to wait. The fruit of patience is sweet and We’re about to show you the entire orchard of fruits. You just have to be smart enough to reach out and grab one for yourself.

In our next article, we will discuss the solution to these problems and more than that, I’ll tell you The Best Way To Manage Your Dry Cleaning/Laundry Business. Stay Tuned!

The post Are you satisfied with your dry cleaning business performance? appeared first on Quickdrycleaning.

This article aims to help every Dry Cleaner and Launderer to understand the basics of GST and to figure out the do’s and don’ts while implementing GST in your laundry and dry cleaning business.

Every bill/invoice you issue to a customer must have:

• GSTIN
• Store Address
• Tax Structure (IGST/CGST/SGST)
• Label “Tax Invoice”

GST Bifurcation

GST has further been divided into 3 parts:

1. IGST
2. SGST
3. CGST

IGST (Integrated GST): – applicable when service is provided by one state, and the consumption happens in another state. Dry Cleaning store is located one state and customer’s registered address with the business is in another state. On the invoice, it must be mentioned that collected tax is IGST along with its applicable rate (18%).

SGST: (State GST) – applicable when the service provider and customer are within one state, this portion is owned by the State authorities. On the invoice, SGST must be mentioned along with the applicable rate (9%).

CGST: (Centre GST) – applicable when the service provider and customer are within one state, this portion is owned by the Central authorities. On the invoice, CGST must be mentioned along with the applicable rate (9%).

Application of Tax Bifurcations

A combination of resident state of your customer as well as your store location will determine the correct tax to be applied to the transaction and hence the same will be printed on the invoice.

Case 1: When the place of service provider (registered address of dry cleaning store) and place of consumption (customer’s registered address with the business) are within the same state then the tax collected has to be divided within Centre and State authorities. Current ratio of division is 50:50.

Case 2: When the place of service provider (registered address of dry cleaning store) and place of consumption (customer’s registered address with the business) are in different states then the tax collected would be called as IGST

Input Tax Credit

You can now take Input Tax Credit for all the payments that the business makes, against the tax collected, as per the following criteria:

• IGST : input credit can be availed against IGST, CGST and SGST
• CGST – input credit can be availed against IGST and CGST
• SGST— input credit can be availed against IGST and SGST

Classification of Services (Tariff Codes):

The Dry Cleaning, Laundry and other related services have been recognized by the government as follows:

Section 9: Community, Social & Personal Services and other miscellaneous services

Important dates for filing GST returns:

• 10th of every month for all your purchases
• 15th of every month for all the sales
• 20th of every month tax payment and final return for the month
• 31st December final return of the year

These are the major guidelines you need to follow and implement in your dry cleaning and laundry business. GST implementation can be handled easily with the help of our GST Enabled Business Management Software. Start Free Trial NOW to automate GST in your Bills & Reports.

In the previous blog, Loopholes in the Laundry Business Operations, we talked about the common problems that are faced by the dry cleaning and laundry businesses. This article will focus on how these loopholes can be solved by incorporating Quick Dry Cleaning (QDC) Software into your business process.

Here is how the software helps close all the loopholes hindering the progress of your business.

Get Rid of Manual Bill Books

QDC Software is an efficient Laundry and Dry Cleaning Software that eliminates the need for a business owner to maintain a number of books. Once the order is generated through the system, the software automatically generates simultaneous entries in Order Report, Work Order Report (Challan) and the Cash Book. All your data is stored on a secure cloud with sufficient backups so that there is no possibility of data loss even in the case of system failure. Even if a customer comes after 6 months to collect his order, you can figure out the entire order history of the customer in less than 3 seconds. Every small detail of the customer can be known. Your customer info, order history, payments become very streamlined.

Customized Preferences of Customers

Being a service industry, Dry Cleaners and Launderers have to take great care of preferences of their customers and provide personalized service. In a manual style of working it is impossible to do so because there is no mechanism to record such data about the customers and even if someone tries to do it manually, it is very hectic and impractical. QDC Software has this amazing feature of recording customer preferences such as, washing deep colors separately, light or no starch, delivery on the hanger, or fold packed etc, which are readily available to the person making the order.

No Wrong Deliveries – No Compensations

With QDC Software, automated barcode enabled tags are generated for each garment. The clothes can be scanned at the time of the delivery which makes identification of garments seamless. This helps ensure that the clothes go to their respective owners, minimizing the risk of unnecessary confusion at the time of delivery. This helps the business achieve two things. For one, this mechanism makes sure that your compensations due to wrong deliveries come down to zero. Secondly, This shows your professionalism to the customer and helps create a positive impact in his mind. Moreover, operational cost is also reduced as the cost of 1 tag is just between 15 paise to 20 paise (0.4 to 0.6 cents).

Customer Communication Management

Lack of direct interaction with your customer can be a source of problems that you might not anticipate in a normal working scenario. In our 7 years of experience, we’ve noticed that good customer interaction can help in avoiding many critical problems like misunderstandings related to service and delivery and pick ups. It also helps you build a relationship with your customer. In an unorganized Laundry business, the customer interaction is a bare minimum. With only essentials being exchanged, which can create some unnecessary confusion. QDC Software helps you open up channels of customer interaction and communicate things like confirmation of delivery, Order status and the amount paid for the order.
