📲 Install the apps (PWA)

The portal and its field apps install onto any phone or computer, like native apps.

Every part of the portal is a PWA (progressive web app): it runs in a normal browser, but can be installed so it opens from its own icon, full-screen, just like a native app. Each person installs only the app they need — and each has its own icon, so they are easy to tell apart on a home screen.

The apps

  • CodeB Laundry Portal — the full app (owner / office): dashboard, vault, queues, invoices and settings. Open it at your portal address.
  • Packer — the warehouse packer: Linen Matching, the Clean & Dirty queues, Hardwash and the Vault. Address: /pack.
  • Housekeeping — the housekeeping / cleaning team: the day’s turnovers (guest check-ins and check-outs), a Delivery vans map showing where the linen vans are right now, and the Driver Route with the delivery & pickup bag status of each stop — on its own installable icon. Address: /housekeeping.
  • Laundry — the cleaning company: laundry counts and invoices. Address: /laundry.
  • Route — the driver: the day’s check-out collection loop on a map, with the total weight to carry. Address: /route.
  • Vehicles — the live GPS map of your vans. Address: /fleet.
  • Turnovers — the day’s check-ins, check-outs and same-day turnovers as a stand-alone board, for anyone who just needs the day’s plan on a home-screen icon. Address: /turnovers.

Install on Android (Chrome)

  1. Open the app’s address in Chrome and sign in.
  2. Tap the big Install this app button on the app’s home screen — or open Chrome’s ⋮ menu and choose Install app / Add to Home screen.
  3. Confirm. The app’s icon lands on your home screen and opens full-screen, with no browser bar.

Install on iPhone & iPad (Safari)

  1. Open the app’s address in Safari — on iPhone and iPad, installing only works from Safari — and sign in.
  2. Tap the Share button (the square with an up-arrow), then scroll down to Add to Home Screen.
  3. Tap Add. The app’s icon appears on your home screen.

Install on Windows & Mac (Edge or Chrome)

  1. Open the app’s address in Edge or Chrome.
  2. Click the install icon in the address bar (a small screen with a ⊕), or open the ⋮ menu → Apps → Install this site as an app.
  3. The app opens in its own window and gets a Start-menu (Windows) or Dock / Launchpad (Mac) icon.
Note You never need to reinstall after an update — each app refreshes itself to the newest version the next time it is opened.

Limiting who can open which app

You can control, per person, which of these apps they may open. On Settings → Users, open ⚙ Manage under a person and use 📱 App access to tick the apps they may use. For an ordinary user, nothing ticked = every app (tick to *limit*); for a guest / driver, nothing ticked = no access at all (tick to *grant*). Either way, ticking limits them to just those apps — for example, tick only Housekeeping for a cleaner, or only Route for a driver. Administrators and read-only power users always have every app, and a laundry account stays fixed to the Laundry app. See the Users guide for details.

Note Signing out clears everything. Signing out fully clears your session on this device, and the next sign-in always asks for the account and password — so on a shared computer, one person signing out can never leave the next person accidentally signed in as them. Switching to a different user always works.
Tip Every app shows a bright Install this app button right on its home screen, so staff can install it in one tap without following any of these steps.
