Suds is point of sale and management software for car washes and LPG gas shops in Kenya. The counter records every car by its number plate (or every gas sale by brand and size), takes cash and M-Pesa, and shows the owner the whole day on their phone, from anywhere.
M-Pesa payments match themselves to the right car through payment prompts and till matching. The cash drawer is counted every shift, and every discount, refund and cancellation is saved with who did it and when.
Suds works out each washer's pay per car, by percentage or a fixed amount, and keeps payslips. Customers get WhatsApp messages from the business's own number when their car is checked in, when it's ready, and with a receipt. Owners can bring back customers who stopped coming and reward regulars.
For gas shops, Suds tracks refills, new cylinders, empties owed, deliveries and stock, with low stock warnings.
Suds keeps working when the internet goes off and catches up when it returns. It runs on an Android phone or tablet. We set it up with each business, and staff practise in a practice mode before the first real sale.
