The Challenge.

Apartment laundry management was stuck in the past. Residents had to physically check machine availability, deal with coins or cards, and had no way to know when machines would be free.

Property managers faced constant maintenance issues, payment collection challenges, and unhappy residents frustrated with the laundry experience.

Washlava needed a comprehensive platform that connected IoT-enabled machines to mobile apps, allowing residents to reserve and pay from their phones while giving property managers powerful management tools.

Our Approach.

Full Product Development

Designed and developed the complete platform stack: consumer mobile apps for iOS and Android, property manager dashboard, and IoT integration layer.

2

IoT Integration

Connected washing machines and dryers with IoT sensors for real-time status updates, remote start capabilities, and usage analytics.

3

Scalable Infrastructure

Built on Docker and Kubernetes for enterprise-grade scalability, ensuring the platform could handle hundreds of locations and thousands of concurrent users.
