Car washes and gas shops, KenyaFirst month free

Car wash software, on your phone

Sales, receipts, wages and reports, with M-Pesa on your own till or paybill. Shown on your phone, even without internet.

Know where every shilling went. If cash goes missing, you see it, and who.

Writes down every car

The plate, the service, the price, cash or M-Pesa. The receipt goes out on WhatsApp or the printer.

The forecourt: each car with its plate, owner, services, status and price.

Keeps your till or paybill

Customers pay the number they already use. Each payment shows in Suds within seconds and goes onto the car, with who took it.

Payments for 30 days, each with plate, job number, time, cashier and device.

Flags every change

Discounts, cancellations and corrections are listed with who made them. Big discounts need a manager.

Activity filtered to changes worth a look, with who made them.

Reports and reconciliation

Takings by hour, day, service and washer. Every shift’s drawer is checked against what was taken, so you know when it is short.

Money: average ticket, takings through the day and cash taken today.

Washers paid right, without arguments

Every car carries the name of who washed it. Suds counts each washer’s cars and shows what you owe them.

  • A percentage or a fixed amount per car
  • Payslips and a statement for each person
  • Daily, weekly or monthly salaries, and advances
  • A profile for each person: ID, KRA PIN, NSSF and SHA
  • Excel exports of sales, payments, expenses and pay
Wages: each washer with cars washed today, what they earned and a Pay button.

Stock and costs. See what is left after soap, rent and wages.

Soap and wax that never run out

Record deliveries and what each shift used. Suds warns you before the shampoo runs out.

Every expense, and what is left

Rent, detergent, fuel, repairs, lunch. Write it down once and see your profit after costs and wages.

More in Suds. Payments, proof, bills, debts and fleets.

M-Pesa prompt on the customer’s phone

STK Push sends the payment request to their phone. When they enter their PIN, the car is marked paid by itself.

Photo proof

Take two or three photos at check-in. When someone says you scratched their car, you have the pictures.

Water and electricity

Your Nairobi Water and Kenya Power balances, checked for you every few hours, with the bill and its due date.

Customers who owe

Let a customer you trust pay later. Suds keeps what they owe and clears the oldest debt first when they pay.

Fleet accounts

Taxi and company cars run a tab with a limit. At the end of the month Suds makes the numbered invoice.

Download sales, payments, expenses, wages, drawers and customers to Excel or CSV, for any dates.

  • A deposit on each empty owed, paid back when it returns
  • Stock counts, distributor balances and profit by brand

Questions owners ask

My staff are not good with phones.

If they can use WhatsApp, they can use Suds. They practise first without touching real money.

The internet here is bad.

Suds keeps working without internet and sends everything when it comes back.

What does it cost?

Your first month is on us, so you can test Suds before you commit. After that, send a request or a WhatsApp and we tell you the price for a business your size.

Can a staff member hide something?

Every change, refund and cancellation is saved with who did it and when.

Does it work with KRA eTIMS?

Yes, on request. Each sale is reported to KRA in the background, and KRA’s invoice number prints on the receipt.

I have more than one branch.

Each branch gets its own counter, till or paybill and job numbers. You see every branch from your phone, and every report and export shows which branch.

How do I start?
