"It was only three years ago that I made my first attempt to go to another POS
system. At that time it was going to cost me $25,000 to $30,000
dollars to get my main store up and going with two stations.
Today, I have
all three stores up and running (on CleanSuite) and I did it for less than $10,000.
On top
of that I made some new friends in the process. What a deal!

What do you get for your money?
Good question! In addition to awesome software, you get...
Unlimited networking within your store - connect as many computers as you like - now or in the future.
Free upgrades - download the latest version anytime - even after the first year.
One full year of training and support.
Toll free support - 24/7.
And... we feel software should work. So we decided...
No annual maintenance or support contract. (This alone can save you $500 to $1000 a year!)
Cost of the program
$1495 US
$1495 Canadian
$2450 Australian
£750 Great Britain
For automatic credit card processing you need a copy of the PC Charge software. Call CleanSuite for details.
Support (after the first year)
$30 per call or $1 a minute, whichever is greater
$300 "Money Saver" plan reduces minimum charge to $15
CleanSuite is so easy to learn and so reliable that after the
first three or four months, most of our customer's never call
and those that do, call very rarely.
Points to consider
Before you buy any dry cleaners software you should check the following
Call the company's support line at 7 am and 9 pm and on weekends to check response time. To check us out, call 1-888-727-4564.
Are upgrades free of charge? Ours are.
Ask how long your free support and training lasts. Ours is one year
Ask about ongoing support. Most companies
charge a maintenance or service contract fee of $500 to $1000* a year.
Our support is based on an as-needed basis. And it's very low. Each year we add up all our support fees for all our users and the average cost per store is less than $30 per year.
Hardware warranty and support should be reasonably priced.
Most computers already come with a one year warranty. A three-year on-site
parts and labour warranty should be no more than 10% of the cost of the equipment.
We offer you a free two month trial and a 90 day "absolutely thrilled" money back guarantee.
