Why WashBase

Control without complexity

Keep your card machines and payment setup. WashBase adds the operations layer: wash capturing, daily cash-ups, loyalty, biometrics, stock control, payroll, and reporting, so you can spot issues in real time and stop relying on spreadsheets.

Multi-Location Visibility

Every location gets its own products, settings and reporting. See all sites from one dashboard, in real time.

Capture Every Wash

Capture a customer and a sale in seconds, with their wash history on the same screen.

Inventory & Stock Control

Track retail stock and carwash consumables in one place. Sales deduct stock automatically, and purchase orders and stock takes keep your counts accurate.

Vehicle Scanner

Point your phone at a vehicle to read the plate, make and model. Find the customer or start a new one in a tap.

Wash Station Tracking

Track vehicle progress and wash times as they happen. Customers get a collection code staff verify before handing over keys, and WhatsApp, SMS or push keeps them updated.

Get Paid On The Spot

Customers pay your shared invoices, estimates and account statements from their phone using bank transfer, Capitec Pay, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. At the counter, show a QR code and they pay on their own phone. Payments are recorded automatically and settle into your own bank account.

Post-Sale Tips

Customers receive a WhatsApp tip link after their wash. One tap to pay via Google Pay or Apple Pay. Tips go directly to staff, no cash needed.

Customer Ratings & Feedback

Collect customer ratings after every wash via WhatsApp link. Track service quality trends and identify top performers across locations.

Grow Your Google Rating on Autopilot

Customers who rate you 4 or 5 stars get a one-tap Share on Google button. Lower ratings stay internal for your team to deal with first.

Customer Retention & Loyalty

Run stamps, points or both. Stamps earn a free wash after a set number of visits; points accrue per rand spent and redeem against the bill. Rules are set per location.

Win-Back Campaigns & SMS Marketing

Send one-off or automated SMS and push campaigns to customers who have gone quiet. Attach an offer, and track who came back and what they redeemed.

CCTV Integration

Compare CCTV vehicle counts to recorded transactions. Flag discrepancies and investigate potential revenue leakage. Requires your own NPR (number plate recognition) cameras; hardware not included.

Compliance & Leakage Prevention

Locked product lists and pricing at point of capture. Reconcile captured washes against cash and card totals daily. Spot discrepancies before they compound.

Works With Your Setup

Keep your card machines and payment terminals. WashBase sits alongside them. You capture the sale, then reconcile against your card machine total at end of day.

Document & Receipt Capture

Photograph vehicles, receipts and slips against sales, expenses or payouts. Vendor names, amounts and dates are read from the image, and everything stays filed against the transaction.

Biometric Clocking & Personnel Payroll

Staff clock in and out with facial recognition, each event logged with a timestamp and image. Hours feed straight into Personnel reports and wage calculations.

Online Bookings

Customers book a slot from your branded page or QR code. Bookings land in the Wash Station and start the capture flow with their details already filled in.

User-Level Access Controls

Permission toggles per user across Dashboard, Products, Reports, Operations, Staff and Users. Staff start with Wash Station only.

Built for Speed

Instant customer search, one-tap products and plate scanning that fills in the vehicle. Several staff can capture at once without it slowing down.

What operators are saying

I can see what's happening at all my car washes live and get instant overviews of performance.

Multi-site operator, Gauteng

EOD report emailed to me every night, push notification when they open or close the day. I don't even have to ask, I just know.

Carwash owner, Cape Town

A bad rating came through as a push notification on my phone. I called the customer within five minutes and sorted it out.

Carwash owner, Johannesburg

I used to reconcile with a notebook. Now I just check the EOD report. Cash and card are already matched for me.

Carwash owner, Pretoria

I don't have to keep track of loyalty, my customers are motivated to return.

Carwash owner, Durban

I know exactly what each site makes after staff cost and expenses. That was impossible before.
