Project description
TranslatedI run a dry cleaning and laundry service, and currently all tracking is done on paper receipts and a general spreadsheet, which falls apart as volume grows. I need a proper application for managing orders, built around how dry cleaning actually works: a customer brings in a bundle of items, we log each piece, mark the required treatment, and the order progresses through cleaning, pressing, and readiness stages until it returns to the customer. The key to all of this is detail at the individual garment level. One order can contain a dozen different items, each with its own tag, fabric type, care instructions, noted stains from intake, and its own price. I want to print or generate a tag for each garment so nothing gets mixed up on the rack, and instantly find any item by tag number.
On top of intake, we need to book pickups and deliveries, because a significant portion of customers want us to collect items from home or office and bring back the finished order. So the application must let an employee or customer choose a pickup window and a delivery window, assign it to a route or driver, and show the plan for each day. Status tracking must be visible to everyone: the counter staff, people in the trucks, and the customer. When an order changes status, the customer should get a notification automatically — by SMS, email, or in their account — so we stop fielding endless calls about whether the shirts are ready.
This isn't a courier app and not a generic booking calendar. It's about garment care, so the data model, tags, and entire process must reflect dry cleaning orders. Please describe your stack and show similar work if you have it. I'm open to a web app with a mobile-friendly interface; a separate mobile screen for drivers would be a plus.
— Order intake with multiple garments, each with tag, fabric, care, and price
— Tag printing and instant search by tag number
— Pickup and delivery booking with windows, routes, and driver assignment
— Status tracking through cleaning, pressing, and readiness stages, visible to staff and customer
— Automatic customer notifications on status change (SMS, email, account)
— Simple reports on orders, delivery times, and revenue
