PRODUCT
The Product Page is the section inside your POS/CRM system where you:
-
Create new laundry product entries
-
Set and manage product details
-
Assign pricing for different services (Wash, Dry Clean, Iron, etc.)
-
Edit or delete existing products
-
And manage how products are presented during order booking and reporting
This page is crucial because it controls the items (garments, linen, retail products) your business processes, how much you charge, and how they appear on bills, reports, and CRM records.
📑 Detailed Breakdown of the Product Page
Here’s what you’ll typically see and manage on a Product Page:
1️⃣ Product List Table
A master list of all products already created in the system.
✅ Purpose:
-
View all items your laundry handles
-
Quickly update prices or details
-
Activate or deactivate products (like seasonal services)
Add New Product Section
A form where you can enter details for a new product/service.
1.Click "+Add New Product" button
2.Fill the columns and save
3️⃣ Edit / Update Product
You can select any existing product from the list and click Edit to:
-
Update service rates
-
Add/remove services (if, for example, you now offer Steam Ironing for Sarees)
-
Mark a product as Inactive (if you stop accepting it temporarily)
✅ Purpose:
Keep your product offerings and pricing up-to-date as per market needs.
4️⃣ Delete Product
Remove products you no longer offer.
Note: Most POS/CRM systems won’t allow deletion if the product has linked transaction history. Instead, you can mark it Inactive.
5️⃣ Search & Filter
A quick search bar and filters (like Category, Service Type, Active/Inactive) to help you find products faster, especially useful if you have a long list of items.
Categories
Categories are a way to group similar types of laundry items under a common classification to make managing, pricing, reporting, and order processing easier.
Instead of handling every single product as an individual item, you organize them into logical groups — called Categories.
📑 Why Use Product Categories?
-
📑 Simplifies product management and searching
-
💰 Allows you to set different pricing rules or tax rates for different groups
-
📊 Helps with category-wise sales and order reports
-
🎛️ Speeds up order booking by filtering products by category
-
📋 Maintains a clean, organized product list
📌 How Categories Work in a Laundry CRM
When adding a new product, you assign it to a Category.
This way, when staff books an order, they can first select a Category (like Garments) and then see only those related products (like Shirt, Trousers, Coat).
A Product Bundle is a pre-defined group of multiple products and/or services packaged together and sold at a combined or special price.
In Laundry business terms — it means offering a set of services for different items together as a combo, either for:
-
Promotional offers
-
Seasonal packages
-
Corporate clients
-
Regular bulk customers
This simplifies billing, pricing, and promotions by treating multiple items as one package.

Brand
In a Laundry POS or CRM system, Brand refers to the manufacturer label or brand name of a garment or item being serviced — like Van Heusen, Raymond, Peter England, Allen Solly, or FabIndia.
It can be optionally used to:
-
📑 Record the garment brand for care and handling
-
💸 Apply brand-specific pricing or service instructions
-
📊 Track servicing patterns of premium or high-value brands
-
📞 Identify repeat customers who bring specific branded clothes for special care
📑 Where and How Is ‘Brand’ Used in a Laundry
When booking an order:
1️⃣ After selecting the Product (e.g., Shirt)
2️⃣ You can optionally select or enter the Brand name
3️⃣ POS records the brand along with the order details
4️⃣ It can also trigger:
-
📝 Special instructions (Dry Clean Only, No Starch, Use Premium Packaging)
-
💰 Brand-wise rates (if enabled — e.g., Dry Clean Van Heusen Shirt ₹120 vs local ₹100)

📖 Maintains premium garment records

💸 Can apply higher pricing for expensive brand garments
-
📃 Adds extra care instructions for branded items

-
📱 Helps reassure customers their branded clothes are well cared for
Product Unit
A Product Unit defines the measurement or quantity basis in which a product or service is counted, priced, and billed in the POS system.
In a Laundry POS, since most services are based on individual items, the most common unit is "Piece".
But depending on your business, you might also use other units like Kilogram (Kg), Dozen, or Pair.
📑 Why Do We Need Product Units?
-
📖 To correctly price and count the laundry items
-
📃 To avoid confusion in quantity entry during order booking
-
📊 For generating accurate product-wise and quantity-wise reports
-
💰 For handling different service billing methods (per piece vs per kilogram)
📖 What is a Custom Product in Laundry POS?
A Custom Product refers to a product or laundry item that’s not pre-listed in your POS product master, but which you want to manually add during order booking for a customer’s specific need.
This is helpful when:
-
📦 A customer brings a rare or special item (like a woolen sofa cover, designer bridal gown, car cover)
-
📝 You need to define a new, one-time service charge on the spot
-
🛠️ The item doesn’t fall into existing categories
📑 When Do You Use a Custom Product?
-
Customer brings a new type of garment not in your system
-
Temporary service pricing (like special packaging for a celebrity’s outfit)
-
Unusual bulk items (e.g., 10 camping tents for dry clean)
-
High-value or premium items that require manual rate entry
📑 How Does It Work in a Laundry POS?
During Order Booking:
1️⃣ Click on Add Custom Product button (if your POS has it)
2️⃣ Enter:
-
📖 Product Name (free text — e.g. ‘Embroidered Kurta’)
-
📦 Service Type (Wash, Dry Clean, Iron)
-
💰 Rate (enter custom price)
-
📝 Notes (any care instructions)
-
📏 Unit (Piece, Pair, Kg, etc.)
-
📅 Delivery Type (Normal/Quick)
3️⃣ Save — it adds to the order just like regular items
4️⃣ It appears on the customer’s bill/invoice with the entered description and rate
Multi Rate
Multi Rate means the ability to set different prices (rates) for the same product based on certain conditions like:
-
🔸 Type of Service (Wash, Dry Clean, Steam Press, Starch)
-
🔸 Delivery Type (Normal, Quick, Express)
-
🔸 Customer Category (Regular, VIP, Corporate)
-
🔸 Brand (for premium branded garments)
-
🔸 Quantity (bulk or retail)
This ensures you can flexibly charge appropriate rates depending on how, when, or for whom the service is provided.
📑 Why Do You Need Multi Rate?
-
📑 To handle different service pricing for the same product
-
💰 To manage express or quick delivery charges
-
📊 To create special pricing plans for VIP or corporate customers
-
📦 To apply additional charges for premium brands or delicate fabrics

They help staff and customers:

📋 Record garment characteristics for special care or handling
-
📦 Avoid delivery mix-ups (two black shirts of different sizes can be properly matched back to customers)

Barcode Printing
In a Laundry POS, Barcode Printing means generating and printing a unique barcode label for each individual laundry order or item during booking.
This barcode is typically attached to:
-
🏷️ A laundry tag pinned/sewn/stuck to the garment
-
📜 An order slip placed with the bag
The barcode contains a machine-readable code (usually a unique number or string) which, when scanned, quickly fetches the corresponding order or item details in the POS system.

📅 Order Date / Delivery Date

3️⃣ The label is attached to the garment (sewn/pinned/stickered or slip-in tag)
4️⃣ At any point — service counter, delivery point, or storage — staff can scan the barcode using a barcode scanner
