In the dynamic world of car washes, adapting swiftly to market changes and customer preferences is crucial for success. Many operators are hindered by point-of-sale (POS) systems that entail lengthy delays—sometimes weeks or even months—to implement changes or launch promotions. This “request and wait” approach creates a bottleneck, stifling business agility and your ability to respond to trends.
An operator shared this real-world example of their struggles their current solution on the condition of anonymity: “Recent wildfires in our area coated vehicles with ash and soot. We had quickly devised a promotion structure and messaging to encourage membership sales centered on this specific situation. Unfortunately, [legacy POS provider] took nearly four weeks to make the changes. By then, the fires had been contained, the problem was gone, and the opportunity was lost!”
Such stories are all too common in the car wash industry, spotlighting the archaic way many POS systems operate and the need for improved responsiveness. In contrast, operators using the AMP platform experience no such delays. AMP’s innovative system grants operators complete control over their sales tools. Changes to the POS system or mobile app, whether it’s adjusting prices, updating promotions, or revising marketing messages, changes can be made instantly through the self-service AMP portal.
“Our clients can have an idea for a promotion over their morning coffee and see that promo live before the first car arrives at the wash that day.” says AMP VP of Sales & Marketing, Dylan von Kleist. He went on to add “It seems crazy to allow a third party to dictate how you operate, but that is what a lot of operators face daily. The AMP team is proud to offer a solution that allows creativity to flourish!”
This capability not only boosts operational efficiency at the wash but also ensures that businesses can immediately respond to market trends, seasonal opportunities, and customer feedback. Imagine deploying a promotion instantly or capitalizing on sudden weather changes without waiting for a third-party provider. The concept of updating everything from pricing to brand images on-demand is a reality today for a rapidly increasing roster of AMP clients.
