Helping industrial laundries grow is more than a promise at ABS Laundry Business Solutions. It is a way of working that brings software, people, and process together so that every laundry can move forward with confidence. Under the banner Helping You Grow, ABS combines three services that reinforce one another: software development, training, and consultancy.
Peter van Kessel, Chief Operating Officer at ABS, sees these three services as one connected journey rather than three separate products. Strong software needs skilled people to run it, and skilled people perform at their best when expert consultants have shaped the process around them. Together they turn a software project into lasting growth.

Growth in the laundry industry rarely comes from one big change. It comes from the right software, well trained people, and expert guidance working together over time. That combination is what ABS was built to deliver.
Executive Summary
ABS supports industrial laundries with a complete growth model built on three pillars. Software development keeps the ABSSolute platform aligned with a fast moving market. Training turns that platform into everyday performance across the team. Consultancy makes sure every implementation is grounded in real laundry knowledge and a clear return on investment. The sections below look at how the three fit together.

Software Development: The Latest Technology for Every Need
ABS prides itself on the high functional coverage of ABSSolute. All common business lines are covered to support production and stockroom processes, supplemented by mobile solutions and web portals that support customer ordering. Full coverage and one time entry have always been the essence of ABSSolute.
The platform is designed to support daily production and financial operations, from order to cash through to purchase to pay. These smart solutions help laundries save costs and improve productivity. ABS continues to invest in new standard features every year, and where a specific situation calls for a tailored integration, the business consultants work out the best possible solution alongside the laundry. More detail is available on the Software Development page.
When a laundry grows, ABS grows with it. The aim is never simply to install software, it is to build a long term partnership that keeps paying back.
Training: Developing the People Behind the Platform
To achieve the maximum result, ABS trains staff across every aspect of the ABSSolute software. Training can be delivered at the ABS Training Center, on site at the laundry, or virtually through webinars, and every session is recorded so it can be reviewed and reused as often as needed. More detail is available on the Training page.

Consultancy: Specific Industry, Specific Knowledge
ABS has a team of business consultants with years of experience in the laundry and textile service business. Their role is to make sure the technology fits the reality of each operation, following a proven methodology that keeps the timeline managed, the budget agreed, and the organisation lined up. More detail is available on the Consultancy page.
At the start of an implementation the consultant carries out a walk through of processes and procedures, building a clear picture of specific requirements, ABSSolute coverage, and any gaps.
The consultant shares potential improvements and best practices, so decisions are made with a full understanding of the options.
Once there is common understanding, the project is planned across data conversion, training, development, and roll out, with timeline and budget agreed in advance.
After go live a review identifies second phase opportunities, always with a strong return on investment in focus.
Every strong implementation starts with listening. Once the processes are properly understood, the technology and the training fall neatly into place.
