📲 Phone apps (Packer & Laundry)
Two stripped-back, big-button apps for staff working in the field.
There are two focused phone apps for people on the move. Each opens on a home screen with one or two huge buttons and no menu — and once you tap in, every page stays menu-free with just a ← Back arrow, so there is nothing to get lost in. They can be installed onto a phone’s home screen so they open like a normal app.
The Packer app
For the warehouse packer (on behalf of the owner). Its home screen has big buttons that open the full working pages, menu-free:
- Linen Matching — receive the clean linen coming back from the laundry onto the shelf.
- Clean Queue — pack the clean linen for today’s check-outs.
- Dirty Queue — count the dirty linen coming back from check-outs.
- Hardwash Queue — count and allocate the heavy-wash bags (shown when Hard Wash is switched on).
- Turnovers — see the day’s guest check-ins and check-outs, so you know what’s coming and can plan ahead.
- Linen Vault — check stock levels and where every piece of linen is.
- Linen at Laundries — see exactly what linen is currently at each laundry.
- Route — the live delivery route with the drop-off & pickup status of each stop, on a map.
The Laundry app
For the cleaning company. Its home screen has two buttons:
- Laundry Count — opens the Laundry Counts page, menu-free: count what was received and Confirm (or Dispute), then record the clean linen being sent back.
- Invoices — upload the laundry’s invoice to the property company (linking the confirmed jobs it bills) and see the ones already submitted — menu-free, with a ← Back to the Laundry app.
Installing an app
- Open the app’s web address on the phone (/pack for the Packer app, /laundry for the Laundry app), and sign in.
- Tap the Install this app button — it is always shown near the bottom of each app. Your phone then offers to add it: on iPhone/Safari use Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android or desktop Chrome use the browser menu’s Install app. (If you tap the button and nothing pops up, it shows a short reminder of these steps.)
- From then on it opens straight from the home-screen icon.
Tip The apps are separate on purpose — each person installs only the one they need. Every field app (Packer, Laundry, Vehicles and Route) offers the same Install this app button when your phone supports it. All are reachable from Field apps at the bottom of the main menu. The menu-free view is switched on by the app; on a full computer the same pages show the normal menu.
