Car Wash Management System
Quick answer
What is the Car Wash Management System?
Car washes across Kenya lose track of daily sales, staff commissions, and repeat customers when everything runs on paper receipts. Zinen Technologies builds car wash management software that handles bookings, point-of-sale billing, staff shifts, and customer loyalty in one system.
Whether you run a single car wash bay or a multi-branch operation, the system gives you a live view of daily revenue, attendant performance, and supply usage — with M-Pesa payments built in.
Kenya-ready solution

What's included
Everything included in the Car Wash Management System
System modules
A complete workflow, not just a feature list
The modules below are based on the underlying Zinen system design and show how the solution can be organized for day-to-day operations.
Vehicle category x service pricing
Saloon, SUV, pickup, matatu, boda boda and bus/lorry are each priced correctly and automatically.
Staff shifts and commission tracking
Attendant commissions and till reconciliation are calculated from logged shifts, not spreadsheets.
Consumables usage & reorder alerts
Soap, wax and chemical usage is tracked with automatic stock reorder alerts before you run out.
Loyalty points & membership packages
Reward repeat customers with loyalty points and sell monthly wash packages.
M-Pesa STK Push & KRA eTIMS invoicing
Daraja API payments and eTIMS-compliant e-invoices are built in, not bolted on.
SMS, WhatsApp and email notifications
Booking confirmations and promotions go out via Africa's Talking SMS and the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API.
Daily operations and P&L reporting
Revenue, categorized expenses and profit are broken down every day, not just at month-end.
