Client's Testimonial

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.

Client Overview

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.
