The platform Developers.dev built for us is the single best investment we've ever made in our business. It has completely transformed how we operate. Our drivers are happier, our customers are thrilled with the new app, and I finally have a real-time view of my entire business on one screen. Our order volume is up 40%, and our delivery costs are down.
Sarah Jenkins, COO
FreshFold Laundry Services is a well-established, family-owned business with 15 locations across three states. While successful, their operations were highly manual, relying on phone calls, paper tickets, and disjointed spreadsheets. This led to frequent errors, inefficient delivery routes, and an inability to offer the modern, on-demand experience their customers were beginning to expect. They needed a comprehensive technology solution to centralize operations and prepare for future growth.
FreshFold needed to replace their manual, error-prone processes with a single, integrated digital platform that could manage orders, customers, and deliveries across all 15 locations. The goal was to increase efficiency, reduce operational costs, and launch a modern, branded mobile app for their customers.
Integrating the new system with their existing POS and accounting software.
Managing the complex logistics of a multi-location operation with a shared fleet of drivers.
Training staff across all stores to adopt the new digital workflow.
Building a solution robust enough to handle thousands of orders per day.
We assigned a "Strategic" tier POD to architect and build a complete, end-to-end operational platform.
We developed a powerful web-based command center for the management team, providing real-time oversight of all locations.
We launched sleek, easy-to-use iOS and Android apps under the FreshFold brand.
The driver app included multi-stop route planning, significantly improving delivery efficiency.
We worked closely with FreshFold to deploy the system in a pilot location first, refining the process and developing training materials before a company-wide rollout.
Conducted extensive on-site discovery sessions to map FreshFold's exact workflows.
Designed a database architecture capable of segmenting data by location while providing a unified view for management.
Built custom APIs to integrate with FreshFold's existing third-party software.
Implemented a sophisticated order management system with status tracking from drop-off to delivery.
Developed a reporting module to track key performance indicators (KPIs) for each location.
Provided comprehensive training and support during the multi-stage launch process.
Automation allowed each location to handle more orders without adding staff.
The route optimization feature led to immediate and significant savings.
Digital tracking eliminated the problems of lost tickets and incorrect orders.
The modern, convenient customer app led to a surge in positive reviews and customer loyalty.
By digitizing their operations with a custom solution from Developers.dev, FreshFold Laundry Services not only solved their immediate efficiency problems but also positioned themselves as a modern, technology-driven leader in their market, ready for sustained growth.
