Dry Cleaning & Laundering History: In 2000 working with store operations management of a prominent supermarket chain interested in providing Professional Cleaning Service for its customers, but not wanting a facility built in stores, eAnytime constructed separate DropOff™ & Fixed Position PickUp™ kiosks and deployed them in select stores serviced by contracted with dry cleaners and in 2003 introduced kiosks with an integrated DropOff™ & Fixed Position PickUp™. In 2008 eAnytime™ introduced an integrated DropOff™ & Revolving Conveyor Pickup™ and in 2010, taking a page from our other industry kiosks, introduced an integrated DropOff™ & Locker & Drawer PickUp™.
eAnytime kiosks are a cost effective alternative to a staffed drop store and individual order home & office pickup and delivery route and enable dry cleaners to reach out to new customers by deploying them in concessions in supermarket & convenience stores, office & apartment buildings, large employers, hotels, casinos and universities, etc. eAnytime kiosks are MADE IN USA of epoxy-coated and stainless steel and designed so that they are able to be shipped in sections abroad and assembled in countries where they will be deployed.
eAnytime kiosks are mobile and have hidden lockable wheels and floor levelers for ease in placement and our interactive computer kiosks feature an integrated touch screen, industrial computers with Windows operating system, stereo speakers for instruction & interactive sound, a magnetic card reader, barcode scanner, thermal receipt printer, UPS/SPD, and diffused lighting from the illuminated marquees, a motion-sensitive surveillance camera in the Fixed Position PickUp™, Airflow™ ventilation in the DropOff™ & PickUp™, and in our Fixed Position and Revolving Conveyor PickUp™ internal lighting. Our interactive computer Fixed Position & Revolving Conveyor kiosks have onscreen icons for customers to touch to see text and hear instruction in a language a of choice, to learn about weekly specials and address Dry Cleaning, Laundering, Alterations, Household, Leather, Furs, and as an option Shoe Repair and each category is listed separately with its own menu and service calendar.
