Business Context and Implementation Scope

Challenges Before Wash It

  • Every new outlet required additional dedicated admin staff — expansion was not scalable
  • Garments were occasionally misassigned between outlets, leading to customer complaints
  • No centralised view of revenue or performance across locations
  • Manual billing and reporting consumed hours of management time each week

What Was Implemented

  • Multi-branch admin dashboard configured for all three outlets under one login
  • QR-based garment tagging rolled out across every outlet
  • Automated billing, invoicing, and performance reports activated per branch
  • Customer mobile app deployed to standardise the booking experience across outlets
