Why laundries pick Softrol for linen management
Know where your linen is
SofTrak and MTrak tag each item with RFID or barcode, so you can see product history, customer assignment and overdue stock.
Cut linen loss
Item-level tracking shows rotating stock that has not come back and gives you a record for damaged goods charges.
Faster carts and deliveries
PPS Cart captures returns in real time, builds carts and creates delivery manifests by item count or weight.
Reports on your phone
LOIS gives you dashboards, email alerts and reports from a phone, tablet or PC, at one site or many.
You own your data
Data is stored for your plant with no monthly data storage and analysis fees.
Support that answers
Technical support is available 24/7/365 by phone or email, with a ticket system that tracks every issue.
What a Softrol linen management system includes
Softrol builds linen and garment management around your plant. Items get an RFID tag or barcode label. Scans at check-in, sortation, cart build and check-out feed one system, so production, inventory and billing all use the same numbers.
Because Softrol designs, manufactures and writes the software in Acworth, Georgia, you can add sorting, rail, wash aisle controls and reporting later without gluing together systems from different vendors.
- SofTrak rental product management with Customer Relations, Garment Tracking, Purchasing, Invoicing, Stockroom, Reporting and Web Interface modules

- PPS Cart check-in, cart build and check-out with delivery manifests and product variance reporting
- Optional route driver and route planning/scheduling modules, plus cart ID by RFID or barcode
