LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — Curbside Laundries and Laundroworks recently announced an integration that connects machine starts to individual wash-dry-fold (WDF) orders within the Curbside point-of-sale dashboard, giving laundromat owners a record of equipment use for each order.

Attendants open an order in Curbside, select the washers and dryers assigned to it, and send that information to Laundroworks. Curbside automatically tracks the machines used for the order, and the integration verifies the accuracy of attendants’ machine selections, according to the companies.

They say tracking the machine mix for each order can help reduce theft, improve equipment use and lower utility costs.

“Owners want to know exactly what happened with every order, every time,” says Aaron Simmons, co-founder of Curbside Laundries. “For our Laundroworks customers, they can be assured that the machine use information their attendants enter is accurate.”

The integration adds equipment-use verification to the order information owners and employees already manage in Curbside.

“Connecting software to hardware is the holy grail of integrations. Automating machine selection and use makes the attendants’ job easier and helps the owner manage their businesses,” says Matt Simmons, co-founder of Curbside Laundries.

Laundroworks joins Curbside’s existing integrations, which include Airwallet, CCI, Alliance, Spyderwash, LaundryBoss and DoorDash.

The Simmons brothers developed Curbside to manage WDF and pickup and delivery services at their California laundromat. Today, nearly 1,000 laundromats use Curbside’s software, hardware, marketing and business guidance, according to the company.
