digital verification.
• To build trust and accountability in the laundry service
process.

clothes count.
• Laundry staff can update timings for collection and
delivery.
• Notifications/reminders for both residents and staff.
• Potential to expand to apartments, housing societies, or
paying guest facilities.

laundry, not shared
