Mobile App Development for Dry Cleaning / Laundry
Service apps for dry cleaners and laundries combine several tasks: online booking for item pickup, order status tracking, readiness notifications, and payment. Technically straightforward — the challenge is properly structuring status logic and backend integration.
What We Build
Order State Machine. Typical transitions: new → picked up by courier → under review → in progress → ready → delivery in transit → delivered. Each transition triggers a push notification (FCM/APNs), real-time updates via WebSocket or Firebase Realtime Database. Customer sees photos of items at intake and cost assessment documents.
Online Booking and Slots. Simple calendar with available time slots for courier pickup, geolocation to calculate delivery zone. Use MapKit/Google Maps SDK for route building. If you have your own courier fleet — real-time courier tracking similar to delivery apps.
Service Catalog and Pricing. Price list by item type (coats, leather, carpets), options (express, antistatic). Final cost may be clarified after inspection — the app shows preliminary estimate and final price after master confirmation.
Payments. Online at checkout or cash/card on delivery. If online — CloudPayments, LiqPay or similar with card tokenization.
For Laundry Chains — multi-location: nearest location selection, location-specific pricing, centralized reporting for owner.
Stack: React Native or Flutter. Backend — Laravel or Node.js with simple REST API. Timeline: MVP with booking and statuses — 6–9 weeks. Full product with courier tracking — 3–5 months. Pricing is calculated individually.
