Dry Cleaning EPOS Systems by Posso Ltd

A dry cleaning EPOS system is not the same as a standard retail till. Your business needs ticket stub printing, garment tracking, collection and delivery management, customer account histories and price lists that handle dozens of garment types and service options. A generic POS simply cannot do that.

At Posso Ltd, we have spent over 40 years working inside the dry cleaning industry — as trainers, owners and technology suppliers. We know what works on the shop floor because we have stood behind the counter ourselves. That experience is built into every system we supply.

Why Dry Cleaners Need a Specialist EPOS System

A standard hospitality or retail POS tracks simple transactions — item in, payment out. Dry cleaning is fundamentally different. You are managing a process that spans days or weeks: garments arrive, they are tagged, cleaned, pressed, stored and collected. The system needs to track every stage.

Here is what a specialist dry cleaning EPOS handles that a generic system cannot:

• Garment-level tracking — every item is tagged with a unique barcode. Scan it at drop-off, scan it when it is ready, scan it at collection. You always know where every garment is.
• Stub ticket printing — 76mm stub tickets that attach to the garment and match the customer receipt. Essential for organised racking and quick retrieval.
• Complex price lists — suits, shirts, dresses, curtains, duvets, wedding gowns, leather, suede — each with different prices for dry cleaning, laundering, pressing, alterations and repairs. Your EPOS handles all of it.
• Customer accounts — regular customers expect you to know their preferences. The system stores their history, contact details and any special instructions.
• Collection and delivery routes — if you offer a pick-up and delivery service, the system manages routes, schedules and driver assignments.
• SMS and email notifications — automatically text customers when their garments are ready for collection. No more phone calls, no more forgotten items sitting on the rack for weeks.

What Is Included in a Posso Dry Cleaning EPOS Package

Every Posso dry cleaning system is configured specifically for your shop. We set up your full price list, garment categories and customer database before installation so you are ready to trade from day one.

Key Features for Dry Cleaning Shops

Twin-Screen Terminal

The operator screen faces your staff and displays the full order entry interface. The customer-facing screen shows the itemised list and running total in real time, building trust and reducing disputes. Both screens run on a Windows 10 Pro PC built for all-day commercial use.

Stub Ticket Printing

The dedicated 76mm stub printer produces garment tags as each item is entered. The tag carries a barcode, the customer name, the service type and a unique order number. Attach it to the garment at drop-off and scan it again at collection for instant retrieval. No more searching through racks.

Barcode Scanning with Datalogic DL-Axist

Every system ships with a Datalogic DL-Axist handheld scanner. Scan garment stubs to pull up the full order, mark items as ready or process a collection. It speeds up every interaction and eliminates manual lookup errors.

SMS Ready-for-Collection Alerts

When a garment is marked as ready, the system can automatically text the customer. This single feature dramatically reduces the number of items left on the rack uncollected. Customers appreciate the convenience, and you free up valuable storage space.

Email Invoicing

Send invoices individually or in bulk. Ideal for corporate accounts, hotels, care homes and any customer who needs a formal VAT invoice. Saves time, reduces paper and gives your business a professional edge.

Collection and Delivery Management

If you run a collection and delivery service, the system manages the full workflow — booking pickups, assigning drivers, tracking routes and confirming deliveries. Customers can request pickups and the system slots them into your schedule automatically.

Customer Accounts and History

Every customer gets a profile. Their order history, contact details, preferences and outstanding balances are all stored and accessible in seconds. When a regular walks in, you can greet them by name and recall their usual order before they say a word.

Flexible Price List Management

Your price list is the heart of your business. Posso sets it up for you before installation, covering every garment type and service you offer. Need to add a new item or adjust a price? Change it in seconds from the back office — it updates across all terminals instantly.

Who Uses Posso Dry Cleaning EPOS?

Our systems are used by dry cleaning businesses of every size across the UK:

Upgrading from an Older System

Still running an older dry cleaning POS on Windows 7? Systems like Spot and DryStream served the industry well, but Windows 7 reached end of life in January 2020. That means no more security updates, increasing compatibility issues and a growing risk of hardware failure with no replacement parts.

Posso makes the upgrade straightforward:

1. We assess your current setup — what hardware can be kept, what needs replacing and how your current price list and customer data can be migrated.
2. We configure your new system — your full price list, garment categories, customer accounts and any custom workflows are set up before we arrive.
3. We install and train on-site — we swap out the old system, connect the new hardware and train your staff until everyone is comfortable.
4. We provide ongoing support — remote access support, phone help and software updates are included. If something goes wrong, we are a phone call away.
