A bag is not always the billing unit
Weight-based work, individually priced items and extra services need different descriptions. An invoice should show the method the customer agreed to rather than leave the unit implied.
Software for wash and fold business owners
Let the service record explain the laundry agreement.
The invoice needs to distinguish ordinary wash work from the blanket and separately agreed handling service. Keep the customer's billing method, practical notes and collection arrangements clear. Your own tagging, weighing and processing workflow identifies the physical laundry behind those business quantities.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Special requests need clear boundaries
Separate handling, folding preferences and items outside the accepted service can complicate intake. Record the business agreement while using your own procedures to identify and process the actual laundry.
Collection arrangements create extra moving parts
The service contact, pickup instructions and billing address may differ. Keep those practical details accessible so a missed handoff does not become a confused charge.
A commercial account can need its own service description
A business's linen arrangement may differ from a household laundry service in quantities, handling and handoff. Establish that scope explicitly rather than assuming the ordinary household description explains every part of the account.

Questions from wash and fold business owners.
Is Microtra a laundry production or bag-tracking system?
Microtra does not operate laundry equipment, weigh bags or provide specialist garment and bag tracking. It supports general business records alongside the workflow you use to process and identify laundry.
Which work and customer terms does Cleaning use?
Cleaning uses Job, Customer and linked Properties. That is the starting terminology for this page, even when your business describes the physical laundry intake as an order.
Can I manage detergent supplies?
Stock starts off in Cleaning. Switch it on in Modules & terms before using item records, counts by location, suppliers and purchase orders for business supplies.
Will the app notify customers that laundry is ready?
Server email, SMS delivery and automatic service reminders are coming soon. Contact customers through your established channel for ready notices and handoff arrangements.
How can separately priced items appear with weight-based work?
Use distinct line descriptions and units for each service the customer has agreed. Take the quantities from your own intake and weighing records, and review the invoice so a blanket, an extra service and ordinary wash work do not share an unexplained unit.
