Carpet cleaning business software for Kenya

Carpets, curtains, sofa covers and duvets come in without a number plate, so they are easy to lose track of. Suds records each piece by the customer's name and phone, prices carpets by their size, and keeps a list of work that is clean but not yet collected or paid for.

Price a carpet by its size

Set a rate per square foot or per square metre, and a minimum charge if you want one. At the counter, type the size the way you would say it, like 5x10, 1.5m x 2m or round 6, or several pieces at once. Suds works out the area and the price, so two cashiers never charge differently for the same carpet.

Curtains, duvets and other items can have a fixed price, or a custom price typed at the counter for the odd job.

Every piece from drop-off to collection

Each job carries a description of what came in, so whoever is at the counter can read out what the customer left. The job moves from received to being cleaned to ready, and Suds shows what has been ready the longest. The customer can get a WhatsApp or SMS message when their carpet is in and when it is ready.

Money that is waiting at the door

Clean carpets that nobody collects are money you have earned and not taken. Suds shows every job that is ready and what is still owed on it, so you can call or message the customer. Payments are cash or M-Pesa, recorded against the job they pay for, and a part payment at drop-off is kept as a deposit on that job.

A real report from a business that uses Suds found KES 6,600 of finished carpets waiting to be collected. See the monthly performance report.

Carpets beside car washing

Many car washes in Kenya clean carpets too. Suds keeps both in one place: cars by plate, carpets by customer, one till and one set of reports. See the car wash management system.

Questions

How do I price a round carpet?

Type round and the size across, like round 6. Suds works out the area and the price from your rate.

Can I take a deposit when the carpet comes in?

Yes. Record what the customer paid at drop-off; it stays on the job, and the balance is shown when they collect.

Can customers be told when their carpet is ready?

Yes. Suds can send a WhatsApp or SMS message when it is checked in and when it is ready.

Can I run carpets and car washing together?

Yes. Both go through the same app, till and reports.
