Cents, a provider of business management platforms for laundromats and drycleaners, has launched Cents Assist, a call center and customer experience solution exclusively for laundry businesses.
Cents Assist combines artificial intelligence-powered technology with human expertise to help laundry businesses handle customer communications and order management in one comprehensive contact center-as-a-service (CCaaS) solution. It includes a trained call center of laundry experts supported by advanced AI technology specifically trained in industry terminology and the processes of each unique laundry business.
Key features of Cents Assist include the following:
- Unlimited calls powered by industry-specific call center and AI voice systems.
- Order placement over the phone or SMS.
- Custom escalation processes.
- Complete integration with Cents and Laundroworks CRM, POS, and card systems.
- Multi-language support and 24/7 availability.
- Comprehensive call reporting, transcriptions, and analytics.
"Cents Assist represents a significant leap forward in how laundry businesses manage customer service," said Alex Jekowsky, CEO and co-founder of Cents, in a statement. "By leveraging our multilingual call center with CentsIntelligence, our suite of AI tools, we're enabling operators to focus on what matters most: growing their businesses while providing incredible customer experiences."
"Your phone isn't just there to answer basic questions like store hours and services; it's also a way to take in more orders and maintain personalized relationships with your customers," said Pablo Marvel, senior director of business development at Cents, in a statement. "With Cents Assist, you instantly create a professional and friendly experience with a system that is sales-trained and remembers your loyal customers."
Early adopters of Cents Assist have reported significant improvements in operational efficiency, with many experiencing a significant reduction in calls and increased order conversion rates. The system's ability to handle after-hours calls and provide consistent, professional service has proven particularly valuable for multi-location operators.
"Before Cents Assist, we were missing calls simply because we needed to prioritize customers standing right in front of us," said Brian Riseland>, owner of Laundry Genius. "Since implementing the system, we've seen a direct impact on our bottom line. The system's 100 percent answer rate means we never miss an opportunity, and customers receive consistent, accurate information about our services. When the phone rings now, we know it's a priority call requiring personalized attention."
"Implementing Cents Assist has transformed our laundromat's operations," said Dustin Gill of Patio Laundry. "Before, we spent about two hours per week managing phone calls, often interrupting staff while they were cleaning or handling wash-and-fold orders. Now, every call is answered professionally, and our attendants can stay focused on their core tasks. The system has streamlined our communication by consolidating our phone lines, and it handles basic customer inquiries that previously disrupted our workflow."
