The business philosophy of Lavasecco 1 Ora has always been based on 3 fundamental principles: quality, velocity and saving, which actually constitute the real squaring of the circle. Founded in 1985, Lavasecco 1 Ora has always worked inside shopping malls offering its customers the best laundry experience, dry-cleaning and tailoring services thanks to the qualified staff and professional laundry equipment. The three principles mentioned earlier are matched by another one, the innovation of processes reflected by a high level of automation in garments management that allows to optimize workflow in all its stages and guarantee more convenient prices.
Following the same prerequisites over years, Lavasecco 1 Ora has developed a structure that allows to supply laundries and specialized labs with technical equipment, and transfer the layout and the know-how gained over 30 years of work to more than 100 stores guaranteeing quick services and professionalism to customers, also in the management assistance.
Lavasecco 1 Ora is an exclusive importer of professional carpet cleaning machines by CATINET in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro. It is the cleaning of the Eastern and Italian carpets that translates to an added value of Lavasecco 1 Ora. Let us highlight that CATINET is a world leader in the production of carpet cleaning machines and it supplies more than 500 businesses all over the world that have successfully been using CATINET’S equipment.
The mission of Lavasecco 1 Ora is clear, as Nadia Borelli, the owner of the company underlines, “our objective is to implement the expansion of the business in the north-west of Italy in order to solve some of the consumers’ problems. Consumers are objectively having difficulties in identifying specialized operators on the market who would provide professional washing and cleaning services, garments sanitization services, garments ironing, garments tailoring and sewing or professional house objects cleaning services e.g. carpets, duvets, curtains, etc. Opening a store with us is easy and fast, with good income perspectives and a moderate initial investment. Through franchising and business branch rental formulas we provide a well-known and consolidated brand name as well as a solid and active marketing structure, training and support in laundry management including all the equipment for garments treatment” explains Nadia Borelli.
The innovation of processes we mentioned earlier represents an added value of a “system” that needs to be illustrated in detail. When a customer drops their garments at the nearest Lavasecco point, a barcode is assigned to each garment so that it can be recognized, and a customer is given a receipt with a QR code so that it is possible to automatically pick up the garments when ready through a pick-up door, which allows to avoid long queues at the counter.
What is more, customers can receive a personal card on request, that can work as a pre-paid card. Thanks to the card, it is possible to receive a message when garments are ready for pick-up. Registered customers will also receive a QR code by an e-mail or they can register through an App for smartphones to trace their garments and check the residual amount of the subscription as well as manage the drop and pick-up of garments. Finished garments are traced by the barcode and each customer’s garments are grouped together. Their position is then matched to the QR code as ready for pick-up. Lavasecco also offers workwear treatment by picking up and delivering workwear directly to companies with each item traced.
Finally, Lavasecco 1 Ora, offers their services and know how to the companies interested in formulating a company welfare model that can be configured into a laundry service inside a company, with the aim of increasing the employees’ satisfaction.
