Inventory App
Kleen-Rite Corp., the largest family-owned car wash distributor in the country,
has introduced the new KR Stock app, bringing car wash inventory management to
the palm of your hand. Kleen-Rite has developed an application aimed squarely at
making life easier for car wash owners, whether they own one site or one dozen sites.
KR Stock allows operators to keep track of the inventory levels of the Kleen-Rite
products they need the most. Operators and employees can easily keep track of the
products they currently have in their inventory, see which car wash they’re being
stored at, and order immediately from the app. Instead of carrying around a pen
and paper to do things the old-fashioned way, or having to deal with cumbersome
spreadsheets, this app uses intuitive actions and icons to let operators adjust on the
go, from their phone or tablet.
The KR Stock app offers:
• Inventory Management in the Palm of the Hand: Access inventory counts right
from any handheld phone or device – both amount and car wash location.
• Fast Track Ordering: Ability to order right away in the app when restocking is needed.
• Personalized Management for Preferred Items: No information overload about
irrelevant products, instead providing focus on previously-ordered products for focused
reordering.
• Order History: Past orders are shown, and can be clicked through immediately to add
those products to the cart for reorder.
Any experienced car wash owner knows that keeping a flow of chemicals, parts,
equipment, vending items, and other supplies is absolutely crucial to the success of
a car wash. This lets them spend less time shopping, and more time managing their
car wash.
The new KR Stock app is easy to access. Simply download the KR Stock app
from the preferred download location – the app is available in both the Apple Store
or Google Play Store. Access is done using customers’ existing Kleen-Rite customer
log-in information, and allows them to get started immediately!
