For self-service dog wash boxes and stations

Dog in the tub, coins out of the way.

With WashConnect the customer scans the QR code on the station, pays from their smartphone and the wash starts. No tokens to fish out with wet hands, no cards to hand over, no cash box to empty.

For self-service grooming salons, dog wash boxes, pet shops, veterinary clinics and existing self-service areas.

Coins and a wet dog don't mix

In dog washing, payment always comes at the worst possible moment: when your customer has soapy hands, a dog to hold still and a timer running down.

Wet hands and coins

Digging for tokens with one hand covered in foam while holding the dog with the other is the most awkward moment of the whole wash. With a phone it takes two taps.

Running out of time

If the timer runs out halfway through drying, your customer has to leave the box to find coins. With WashConnect they start again from their phone, without moving and without leaving the dog.

Coin boxes and damp

Water, foam and hair are a coin box's natural enemies. Moving payments to digital means the mechanical parts work less and break less.

No cash means no customer

Fewer and fewer people carry coins. Every customer who finds only a coin box and walks back to the car is a wash you didn't earn.

How it works for the person washing the dog

Three steps, no app to download and no mandatory sign-up for the first wash.

1. Scan

Scan the QR code on the station

Every station has its own QR code sticker. The customer scans it and immediately sees the price, the duration and the programmes available at that station.

2. Payment

Pay however they prefer

Card, PayPal, Satispay, Apple Pay, Google Pay or the WashConnect wallet. No coins, no card to collect at the counter.

3. Start

The station starts on its own

After payment the station runs for the time you set. If more time is needed, the customer starts again from their phone without leaving the box.

Built for the people running the stations

Always know what you're earning, without dropping by

Dog wash stations are usually where the operator isn't: outside a shop, in a self-service area, next to a laundromat. With the cloud dashboard you control them from wherever you are.

  • Real-time revenue, per station and per time slot.
  • Remote start: if a customer has a problem, you restart the station in one click.
  • Prices and durations you can change from the dashboard, without touching the control unit.
  • Instant refunds to the customer's wallet, without opening the till.
  • Less cash to collect and fewer trips to empty the coin box.
WashConnect revenue dashboard

A wallet instead of a top-up card

People who wash their dog come back every three or four weeks: the perfect repeat customer. The wallet does what you do today with cards and key fobs, without plastic to hand out, top up or replace when it gets lost.

Top-ups with a bonus

Top up €20 and get €22: the customer prepays their next washes and has a concrete reason to come back to you rather than the station two kilometres away.

Promotions for quiet hours

A discount on Tuesday morning, full price at the weekend: you shift washes to where you have spare capacity, and once set up the promotions run themselves.

A discounted first wash

People who try it for the first time at a reduced price and like it come back. And this time you know how many actually did, because you can see it in the data.

Installation without closing the business

It connects to the station you already have

You don't have to change the station, the tub or the control unit. It's the same electronic board we install on washing machines in self-service laundromats: it works alongside your existing setup with just a few electrical connections.

What's in the kit

  • Pre-configured electronic board
  • QR code stickers for every station
  • Information stickers for the entrance
  • Flyers explaining the service to your customers

You choose who installs it

  • 1 By yourself. The board is pre-configured and the instructions are included.
  • 2 With your technician. Whoever installed the station can connect it without us.
  • 3 We install it. We handle it directly, fitting and configuration included.
Tax reporting module

Daily takings filed with the Italian Revenue Agency by the system

The same module the laundromats use: takings from digital payments are filed automatically and cash takings are entered by hand, so everything stays in a single ledger.

  • Automatic filing of digital payment takings.
  • Manual entry of cash takings.
  • A clean, traceable history in the same dashboard.

Do you also run a self-service laundromat?

Washers, dryers and dog wash stations all end up in the same dashboard, with the same revenue, the same wallet and the same tax reporting. One system for the whole business.
