Simple yet Attractive Log-in Page

We all know that for every on-demand service providing an app, log-in page is one of the important factors for both the clients and staff. Thus, it is a must to have a registration portal in your laundry application. Your registration page only has a few things like name, contact number, email ID, residential address. It will be good to allow your users to make registration through social media like Facebook.

In-App Chat Support

The most demanding feature by customers is in-app chat support. As customers are not preferring to contact their service providers through third parties to other users, an in-app chat support system will be helpful for merchants to provide instant support service.

Multiple & Split payment options

Nowadays, everyone is offering multiple payment options, but to attract the users it will be good to allow your users to make partial payments from one mode and partial from others. You can also integrate various payment options like eWallets, Credit Card, Debit Card, Net Banking, and so on.

Real-Time Order Tracking

Most of the laundry and dry-cleaning service providers are integrating Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking system in their application to allow users to track the laundry service and know the status. In addition to track orders, real-time tracking feature enables users to get detailed reports about the activities done through laundry app. The best thing about this feature is it will update system real-time, so user and admin get the latest information about the upcoming deliveries.

Order Cancellation

There are some reasons when customers want to cancel their orders. Integrate order cancellation feature in your laundry app, so customers can easily cancel their orders and get an instant notification to the customer and delivery person about booking cancellation.

Deals and Offers

The common feature to attract more customers is to add deals and offers features. With offers and discount deals, merchants can keep customers interested in their service for a longer period of time. To attract customers, you can offer 10-15% discount on their first order, free washing or free ironing for a specific number of clothes.

Reviews

Add review and feedback in your application, so customers can leave their precious comments and feedback related to service received, laundryman, and delivery person. With feedback and review, you can come to know about areas of improvements as well.
