FlexWash works even when we don’t integrate directly with your wash controller. You keep using whatever method already sends washes to the tunnel, and FlexWash handles checkout, memberships, and reporting alongside it.

​
How it works

Without a controller integration, FlexWash does not send washes to the controller automatically. The Wash Queue on the loading screen is optional and informational only. It shows the loader which package each car is paying for, but the loader is responsible for actually firing the wash on the controller.

​
Signaling the wash

You need an independent mechanism to tell the controller which package to run. Common approaches we see in the field:
  • Push Button Station (PBS): A physical button panel wired to the controller. The loader presses the button matching the customer’s package. This is the most reliable option and what we recommend for any non-integrated site.
  • Driver-side window markings: The CSA writes a short code for the package on the driver-side window with a washable marker. The loader reads the code and fires the matching wash.
  • Two-way radio: The CSA radios the package to the loader, who fires the matching wash.
Use whatever signaling method fits your operation.
