    DRB SiteWatch issue

    The issue was employee pocketing cash and assigning the wash to any unlimited account by using a look up function on the attendant terminal. With the help of DRB we removed that look up function from the attendant terminal.. Also if there is an actual problem with reading a bar code then the...

    First of the month events

    Has anyone converted their long IBA to a mini tunnel?

    I am actually trying to convince some mini tunnels to convert to IBA's. If you do not dedicate an attendant to any tunnel, getting customers to load themselves onto a conveyor is very inconsistent and often people get stuck due to not understanding how to properly load. Full time carwash...
