How a simple need for change sparked a revolution in laundry tech

Curbside Laundries, the leading laundromat software, began with a challenge at a family-owned laundromat in Long Beach, California, called Super Suds. They knew expanding their customer base was crucial, but the traditional solution of opening more laundromats meant taking on significant debt. There had to be a better way.

The Catalyst: Pickup and DeliverySuper Suds Pickup and Delivery Van

The answer was pickup and delivery. This service allowed Super Suds to reach customers beyond their immediate neighborhood. However, managing orders manually proved overwhelming, leading to missed pickups and misplaced orders.

The Digital Transformation

Recognizing the need for a better system, Super Suds partnered with Marathon Consulting ([link to Marathon Consulting’s website]) to develop a digital solution. They created software that streamlined the entire laundry process, from order placement to delivery. This improved efficiency, reduced errors, and led to a significant increase in revenue.

The Dawn of Curbside Laundries

Seeing the success of their software at Super Suds, the team realized that other laundromats could benefit. And so, Curbside Laundries was born. Curbside Laundries quickly gained traction, attracting interest from laundromat owners at industry events.
