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

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.

1
Audit
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.
2
Advise
The consultant shares potential improvements and best practices, so decisions are made with a full understanding of the options.
3
Plan and deliver
Once there is common understanding, the project is planned across data conversion, training, development, and roll out, with timeline and budget agreed in advance.
4
Review
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.
