- Yes, we have customers that started with one laundry ten years ago and now have over twenty-five. Our team of software and laundry experts is available to help you grow with the software as your business evolves.
Will you do custom programming or reporting?
- Yes, we will! We can make custom modifications to LinenMaster for a flat fee or at an hourly rate.
How do you license LinenMaster?
- We license by the facility. A facility is any building with its own postal address. If you have several locations each with their own postal address, then separate licenses are needed for each facility. Alternatively, we would be happy to discuss how revenue-based pricing might make more sense for your operation.
What if I have many small facilities?
- In this case we often find that revenue-based pricing makes more sense.
What if I have a second facility that is across a parking lot, across the street, down the street, etc.?
- If the facility has a different postal address it will need a separate license. In this case we often find that revenue-based pricing makes more sense.
What if my facility is a building with two halves and different addresses?
- If the facility has a different postal address it will need a separate license. In this case we often find that a revenue-based pricing model makes more sense.
What if my facility has multiple business lines (healthcare, hospitality, etc.)?
- If the facility has one postal address it only needs one license. The number of brands does not affect licensing.
What if my facility is a depot and doesn’t wash, dry, fold, etc.?
- If the facility has a different postal address it will need a separate license. The amount of processing at the facility does not affect licensing. Facilities that are depots or that do not wash, dry, or fold usually require all the same LinenMaster functions (weighing, scanning, routing, invoicing, etc.) as a facility that does. In these cases we often find that a revenue-based pricing model makes more sense.
What if all my facilities are in one database?
- The use of multiple databases is an operational decision and not the basis for licensing. We have customers with all facilities in one database and other customers with each facility in a separate database. Our expert laundry sales and support teams would be happy to discuss the pros and cons of each setup.
Do you provide references?
- Absolutely, we have dozens of happy advocates that provide references. Please contact our sales team and we can get you the best references for your situation. Typically, we try to pair references in the same end-market (healthcare, hospitality, food & beverage, industrial & uniform, mixed, etc.) and with approximately the same number of laundries.
Will you complete my vendor risk assessment?
- Yes, our dedicated security staff are happy to complete your vendor risk assessment. Our standard pricing, however, does not contemplate a vendor risk assessment. Completion of a vendor risk assessment will require scoping and agreement to an hourly rate, flat agreement, or Enterprise pricing plan. In most cases, we find that our ISO-27001 certificate and statement of applicability is more than sufficient for security teams.
What is your experience converting from other systems?
- We have successfully converted hundreds of laundries from ABS Laundry Business Solutions, Alliant Systems, ControlTex (Standard Textile), TexTrax, Laundry-Trak and numerous proprietary systems.
