iBEAM Laundry

The laundry Industry is very well developed in the US and Europe regions, and business formats too have accordingly evolved to cater to requirements present in these geographies. The healthcare and hospitality sector, which is also a global leader in these regions, account for nearly 90% of the business generated in the laundry industry – known as institutional customers. Consumer or retail laundry mostly comprises of branded players with multiple outlets and the self-service formats that are popular as Laundromats or Launderettes.

According to industry experts some 34,000 self-service laundries in North America alone generate approximately $8 Billion in retail sales serving some 30 million people, a clear indication of the maturity of this industry in these regions. The large players in these sectors too have evolved in a specialized way mostly catering to one of the above verticals – hospitality, healthcare, or retail. The emerging economic powers such as India, China, Brazil, and a few others however have a different reality, where the Laundry Sector is mostly unorganized and needs to be professionally handled. With the growth that these countries are witnessing across sectors, there is a huge opportunity for organized players to provide world-class services and educate the unorganized sector. In such a scenario connectivity and brand building is crucial for success, as growth can be achieved rapidly through a large scale organized retail format.

The available know how and technology from the various formats in the west – institutional, retail, rental, etc., along with the opportunity for large professional players to capitalize in the emerging economies is leading to new trends in businesses where multiple formats are now emerging under one brand. Innosolv foresaw the same opportunity and in 2008 designed an end-to-end solution to cater comprehensively to the needs of such businesses. iBeam Laundry includes a comprehensive set of modules and features that can automate all formats of the laundry business – institutional, retail, and rentals, under either a single or multiple brands, all in one solution.
