Laundry tagging service in Kenya

Garment tagging and identification setup for laundries with a documented tag method and reconciliation process.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: A 100-garment identification setup for one neighbourhood laundry. Choose a supported tag method with the owner: temporary numbered order tags for ordinary routing, or permanent fabric labels only for customer-authorised, compatible articles. This pilot is identification and reconciliation, not a promise that one adhesive label survives every hot wash, solvent process or fabric.

Who is the first customer?

Small laundries losing time or items during sorting.

Test the offer

Test tags on representative garments and follow several orders through their full process.
