High Tech Laundromat

By: Joann Charamuga

We've all been there, rather you’re a guy digging through pant pockets or a woman digging in the bottom of her purse, we’ve all had that infamous search for quarters for the laundromat. Believe it or not, this may soon be a problem no more! Apartment laundry rooms are beginning to do away with the need for small change, and instead are using high-tech solutions.

It is a win-win situation with the updated technology for providers and resident users alike. Offering significant improvements over traditional coin-operated laundry rooms, ours are coinless, cashless, and provide convenience and security.

Laundry machines that don't accept cash or coins can be accessed through the use of a "smart card," technically called an AccessCard. You no longer need to search for coins or save every quarter to do your laundry thanks to a convenient card that you can add money by using your credit card or bankcard. Arranging to prepay by checks to increase the AccessCard balance for laundry charge is also an option to residents.

Only you and your neighboring residents will have access to the laundry area using the smart-card system from a security point of view. This helps in protecting the security of the equipment, as well as the user. Thieves won’t have access for entry therefore they won’t have access to the machines. No longer is there a worry that thousands of dollars worth of damage to valuable equipment will be an issue.

Certain laundry room service providers, making it more accommodating for consumers, offer remote laundry monitors. Residents can easily check to see if washers and dryers are available thereby avoiding unnecessary trips to the laundry room by making use of a personal computer. Or if one prefers, the same information can be received by voice-based messages on their telephone or cell phones. Residents can also request to be notified when their laundry is finished, or when a specific number of machines are open. Remote monitoring systems can approximate the number of minutes left before the laundry will be complete. It almost sounds to good to be true; but it is true!

We do recommend you invest in high tech laundry facilities, which offers the obvious benefits to the end user, as well as to you, the provider. In addition to the benefit of avoiding the collection and potential theft of coins, some laundry service companies also provide detailed revenue accountability systems that report revenue for the most recent collection period as well as total for the year.

A laundry room with the most modern technology available can really distinguish one property from another during a time of hard competition to maintain full occupancy of apartments, condos, dorms, and hotel rooms.

A service company that applies the most up-to-date technology available and quality equipment such as Whirlpool and Maytag should be selected if your establishment is investigating going high tech with its laundry operations. You should select a firm that offers complete data on the machines' profitability, and, to satisfy customers, the prospective company should supply cashless machines with remote monitoring. A company has to be selected which will provide unsurpassed maintenance and repair and that includes GPS systems on its vehicles for speedy service calls.

Don’t get taken to the cleaners! If you choose a quality company that provides all of the high tech equipment and services you need, you are sure to be more than satisfied.
