They say that the right timing is everything that matters: it is true for many business fields but it is even more so when we speak about industrial laundry and the correct management of the soiled/cleaned linen cycle.

What would actually happen if hospitals, hotels and restaurants were not supported by a reliable service of linen pick-up and delivery anymore? It would result in problems and inefficiencies leading to serious consequences for the users and negatively affecting the economics and the image of the laundry handling the service.

In order to avoid the risks, there is the Route Planner, an innovative module that allows to manage and optimize the pick-up and delivery stages thanks to just a few clicks.

Customers’ data is managed and stored in a single database, where it is possible to specify the hours and the frequency of service requested.  Thanks to a simple drag & drop of the destination onto the calendar, it is possible to plan the deliveries. Just a few gestures and it is done!

The appointments are then written down and sent to an Android app onto a mobile device. The operators will be able to consult an everyday list of the assigned routes and the relative priorities directly on their tablets or cell phones.

During the delivery tour, the transfer of material is mapped and promptly confirmed through the registration of customers’ signatures directly on the mobile device.

This allows the back office to have a full control of the carried out activities at all times. In the same way, it is possible to extract reports and analyze the service patterns to identify any possible weaknesses.

Route planner is an original Eggs Laundry SIXLM module. This management software has been specifically developed and customized following the needs and necessities of industrial laundries: the tools are safe, flexible and easy to use. They can manage all the functional areas in one go.

From a customer to a laundry and vice-versa: thanks to the Route Planner, SIXLM and Eggs Laundry, the efficiency grows and waste is reduced. Happy and served customers thanks to a simple click!
