Improve hygiene standards across all their kitchens

23 million passengers travel by the Indian Railways every day. The extensive operations of the railway network coupled with the need to deliver a high-quality experience to every user made it difficult to identify and mitigate inefficiencies in kitchen operations. This led to significant service time delays, resulting in a low-quality customer experience.

The Indian Railways was looking for products that could help them:

Constant Presence of Load-On Operator at Tunnel Entry.png

The load-on operator must be present at all times while your wash is open, ideally at the tunnel entrance to help guide vehicles into the tunnel. A load-on operator's presence is key as instructions like a vehicle to be in neutral need to be communicated before a customer enters the tunnel.

Be Available for Customers at the Pay Station.png

Know when your customers might need help at the pay stations. Running staff may be made available quickly at the pay stations to assist customers in quickly completing their transactions, thereby boosting pay times.

Prevent Tunnel Downtimes with Preventive Maintenance.png

Regular scheduling of preventive maintenance based on the number of cars washed or the number of equipment breakdowns will ensure that the equipment is not causing any unnecessary downtime which may directly affect your tunnel throughput during busy times

Suggestive Sell to Boost Transaction Time.png

Suggest additional aftercare or hand-applied services purchased by the plan member or repeat visitor, allowing customers to make a quick purchase decision quickly and simplifying the overall transaction process

Monitor Staff Interaction Times at the Pay-Station.png

Monitor the interaction time of your pay-station staff with the customers, and ensure that they are having a friendly but quick interaction to keep the line moving, especially on a busy day

Walk the Line to Boost Transaction Times, Avoid Drop-Offs.png

Make your attendants walk the lines with handhelds during peak hours to process sales faster, thereby increasing throughput and avoiding drop-offs due to long queues at the pay station

Speed up the Conveyor at Busy Times.png

Know when you are busy and increase conveyor speed without affecting wash quality, this allows you to run more cars through the tunnel during peak volume times

There is Money between Cars - Analyze and Adjust the Spacing.png

Monitor the space between cars before loading and inside the tunnel. Adjust the spacing between cars when there is scope for improvement, ensuring that it does not affect the wash quality. Improve the speed of your wash queue and maximize throughput. 

Boost Transaction Times with Card Transactions.png

Request your customers to pay via credit/debit cards during peak volume periods, removing the hassle associated with cash transactions. Increase the overall speed of transactions at the pay station and get the line moving quickly.

Improve Productivity with Timely Breaks.png

Have an employee time clock for all positions and track labor hours. Identify employees who have been continuously working, especially during peak-volume periods. Give breaks to your overloaded staff, thereby reducing stress and improving overall productivity.

Train Loaders on Proper Loading Procedures.png

Inspect the spacing between cars both before loading and inside the tunnel to know if there is scope for improvement in spacing. Use it as a measure to re-train your load-on operators on optimal loading procedures.

Train the Loading Staff on Peak-Hours Tunnel Management.png

Get real-time alerts during peak hours on areas of improvement, like the conveyor speed. Notify them of instances when it would be ideal to increase the conveyor speed, providing a key training opportunity for staff in the loading position.

Use Loading Speed to Improve Staff Performance.png

Get real-time visibility into the speed of a load-on operator in loading active cars into the tunnel.  
Use it as a performance metric to compare & improve the productivity of loading staff, especially during busy hours, which will directly increase profits.

Incentivize Attendants to Sell Unlimited Plans.png

Consider a commission or bonus structure as incentives for your pay-station attendants based on the cars processed - compared with the number of unlimited wash plans sold in a specific schedule

Improve Loader Productivity with Conveyor Downtime %.png

Determine conveyor off times whenever there are at least two vehicles present inside the tunnel. A high conveyor downtime percentage signals room for productivity improvement inside the tunnel, as it might be indicating that a loader is not able to resolve bottlenecks inside the tunnel quickly.

Greet your customers on time, every time!.png

A friendly greeting and a warm welcome can go a long way in boosting customer experience and lead to repeat sales. Ensure that staff members are also well acquainted with ongoing sales, offers and wash plans to upsell to customers.

Engage the Customers, while they Wait.png

Engage the customers with targeted personalized advertisements or promotions. Utilize this time to educate the customers on the value of your unlimited wash plans or simply let them know of the latest additions to your wash.

Cross Promotion between C-Store & IBA.png

Track, Analyze and Optimize - Pricing & Marketing Strategies.png

Keep track of traffic counts, popular wash packages, and POS data to determine the strategies that work the best

Promotions for Slow Volume Periods.png

Determine slow volume periods on an hourly and daily basis, set up marketing efforts, and ramp up the special promotions especially during these times creating activity, that drives more traffic giving your single-wash sales a boost

Don't Restrict Promotions for Slow Periods.png

Washes often have the tendency to run specials or promotions during slower times to drum up business. However, frequency is crucial and hence one should consider attracting customers with offers even when the wash volumes are high, entrenching a habit of regular washing amongst members.

Track and Reward Frequent Visitors, Secure Repeat Visits.png

Have a marketing system in place specifically for frequent visitors. Identify and track the wash frequency of repeat visitors, based on which they can be rewarded with attractive promotions, offers, and discounts on future visits.

Create a big impact by adding a Personal Touch in Greeting.png

Know if your attendants are following the company standards of customer service, may it be smiling or waving at a customer upon arrival. This ensures that the frontline of customer experience is putting in efforts to encourage repeat visits of a customer.

Keep a Watch on the Cash Handling Pay Stations.png

Pay stations at a carwash handling cash face the risk of employee theft. Get visibility into your pay stations and get alerted whenever the locked cash door is opened at a pay station, or when cash is removed from the kiosks

Audit Key Events with POS Exception Reports.png

Audit the security events that occur at your wash with POS Exception Reporting. POS will provide reports of transactions that fall outside the baselines or normal transaction parameters. Audit key activities like voided sales, refunds, rewashes, incomplete sales, deposits, withdraws, cash drawer balances, over/short amounts, etc. to deter employee thefts.

Intrusion Alert!.png

Intrusions in high-value areas by vandals or your staff attempting to steal assets, like back-offices within the building, can lead to major financial damage so, get alerted instantly and dispatch the security personnel to stop and reduce loss
