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% 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.”
While Riseland emphasizes the revenue impact, other operators point to significant operational improvements.
“Implementing Cents Assist has transformed our laundromat’s operations,” said Dustin Gill of Patio Laundry. “Before, we spent about 2 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.”
