Car wash inventory and expense tracking
Takings are not profit. Suds tracks the soap, wax and cloths you buy and use, the rent, fuel and repairs you pay, and the wages you owe, so you see what is left at the end of the month.

Stock in, stock out
Record each delivery of shampoo, wax, tyre shine, cloths and anything else you buy, and what each shift used. Suds keeps the count and warns you before something runs out. A count that differs from what Suds expects is shown with the difference, so a missing gallon is noticed.
Expenses by category
Rent, water, power, fuel, repairs, lunches: each expense goes in with its category and how it was paid, from the drawer, M-Pesa, the bank or the owner's pocket. Money taken from the drawer for an expense is counted at the end of the shift, so the cash still adds up.
Suds also checks your Nairobi Water and Kenya Power balances for you.
Profit after costs and wages
See profit by day, week or month: takings, less expenses, less what washers earned. Everything exports to Excel. See the monthly performance report and whether a car wash is profitable.
