What a Softrol laundry management system includes
LOIS is the reporting layer over Softrol's Total Plant Management software. Data is gathered from multiple production points in your plant, then shown as live dashboards and reports so management decisions happen quickly.
LOIS works with any Softrol product, so rail, sortation, wash aisle, chemical dispensing, productivity and utility data all land in the same system. It can be installed locally at your plant or in the cloud.

- PulseNet Production System (PPS) labor and throughput monitoring with touchscreen SmartStations
- LOIS Rail with Pan-N-Zoom live visualization of rail systems
- LOIS PM Tracker for preventative maintenance work orders

- SofTrak, MTrak and PPS Cart tracking using RFID or barcode
- Local or cloud-based installation, with multi-site access from one login
Trusted by laundries across North America
“A Softrol PPS Helps A New Plant Operate Efficiently. Softrol installed a PulseNet Production System (PPS) to report operator efficiency in real time. Pounds Per Operator Hour (PPOH) increased 35% in the first four months of operation.”
“A SOFTROL PPS Helps Existing Plant add Capacity Without Adding Equipment. Softrol installed a PPS – PulseNet Production System – with ten PPS workstations to report machine throughput and operator efficiency in real time.”
“Operations began on May 11, 2020 in a brand new 25,000 square foot facility. The Softrol Rail material handling system automatically accepts slings of soiled linen from the automated sort system and transfers the slings to buffer rails for storage.”

Frequently asked questions
How much does a laundry management system cost?
Pricing is available on request. Cost depends on which Softrol systems you connect, how many production points you report on and whether you choose a local or cloud install. Tell us about your plant and we will quote it.
Can I access LOIS away from the plant?
Yes. LOIS is accessible from smartphones, tablets and PCs using any browser, so you can check plant performance from anywhere.
Does it work for more than one plant?
Yes. You can access multiple sites from the same user account. LOIS is not limited to a single plant.
Do I have to buy other Softrol equipment first?
LOIS works seamlessly with any Softrol product, including rail, sortation, wash aisle controls, chemical dispensing, PPS and UtiliPulse. Talk to us about what you have now and we will explain what data LOIS can report on.
Who supports the system after install?
Softrol provides installation, system integration, operator training and 24/7/365 technical support. Every service issue is logged in a ticket system that builds a support history for your products.
Do you serve laundromats or home laundry?
No. Softrol builds automation for industrial, commercial, healthcare, hospitality and uniform rental laundries, not coin-op or residential laundry.
