About DECOCLEAN
DECOCLEAN is a German family-owned company specializing in washing and renting workwear and mats. From their base in Gladenbach, they serve customers across a wide range of industries.
In 2023, DECOCLEAN faced a challenge familiar to many laundries: a large new client, but no possibility to expand the building or machine park. The solution lay in working smarter, planning more efficiently, and maximizing the potential of existing resources.
The Challenge
With the new client, production capacity needed to increase. DECOCLEAN required:
- Transparency on process bottlenecks
- Accurate alignment of capacity and planning
- Real-time data to react quickly to deviations
- Growth using the existing machines
In short: more output through smarter management.
The solution: Laundry Dashboard
DECOCLEAN chose Laundry Dashboard. Just twelve weeks after project kickoff, the system was fully operational.
Today, Laundry Dashboard provides Decoclean with:
- Real-time insights into employee and machine performance
- Automatic alerts for deviations or downtime
- Machine performance data, making capacity limits visible early
- Continuous process monitoring and automated reports for faster, better-informed decisions
- Clear dashboards give the entire team transparency, enabling them to identify opportunities and act immediately.
The Result: 34% more production
“Since its introduction in May 2023, Decoclean has been able to increase productivity by 34%, in the period from May 2023 to May 2024. With the same machines, the team now produces one-third more output.
The impact on the investment case is significant:
- Originally expected payback time: 4 years
- Actually achieved payback time: 12 months
On the operations floor, the effect is noticeable as well: employees track their own results in real time, boosting motivation and team spirit.
