Wash Clubs

Wash Clubs provide an excellent alternative to Hamilton’s ExpressPass RFID system. The automated sign-up process for customers is fast, autonomous, and relieves your employees of the administrative work that comes with a typical RFID pass sign-up. Furthermore, the lack of a windshield tag makes it a great solution if your washes are not always attended. Wash Clubs have come a long way since they where first introduced.

Originally the Wash Club service was restricted to Mobile App users who could claim a subscription via a generated QR code on the mobile device screen. Wash Clubs can now be used with all three verification devices (LPR,RFID,APP) making the ability to offer end users access to a monthly subscription package even easier than before.

Wash Club Details

Customize the Experience Each wash club can be designed with its very own set of rules. Wash periods can be set to Unlimited, quantity per day, quantity per month. Individual settings per user for granular customization options
Sign Up is FAST Members can choose a preferred wash club anytime, anywhere with the Custom Mobile App. Memberships can be obtained directly at the Kiosk with Kiosk Sign Up (Where Available) Kiosk Sign Up captures vehicle and payment information, and lets the member immediately get a wash! Sign Up at the Kiosk takes less than 30 Seconds (Purchase to Wash Vend)
Redemption is Easy Mobile App users can tap the 'Wash Club' button on the Mobile App home screen to generate a unique code for the registered vehicle. Scan the code at the Kiosk to redeem a wash. LPR members upon pulling up to the kiosk will get identified and wash will vend. RFID members upon pulling up to the kiosk will get identified and wash will vend. It is highly recommended to have the Mobile App to facilitate a back up policy in case of hardware issues with LPR or RFID systems.

Wash Club Sign Up

If the menu option exists underneath Wash Clubs for Wash Club Sign Up this menu entry will take you to the Customers Grid. The reason for this is that at the top of the Customers Grid are links to Add a Wash Club User or an Express Pass User. For the sake fo this section of the Wiki we will be focusing on the first option which is how to "Add Wash Club User".

Once you are on the Customers grid, click on "Add Wash Club User" in the upper left area of the grid, the blue button is located beneath the link to view the Wash Club Members customer grid. This will pop up a dialog window which is the Wash Club Sign Up form.

NOTE: Deleting an existing Wash Club can be tricky and sometimes the best action is to set it to inactive. If a wash club has subscribers, it cannot be deleted. However any Wash Club can be activated or inactivated at any time.

Editing an existing Wash Club

To the far right of the item grid, there is the Edit button. Clicking edit will open a new panel that looks a lot like the product and deals panel. It is here that you can change any of the existing settings for this specific Wash Club. From changing the item details, to modifying the appearance of the Wash Club within the app. Choose the locations you wish your customers to be able to redeem the wash club, and make sure the correct wash item is being issued with the Wash Club.

Creating a new Wash Club

Under the wash club grid you will see a New Wash Club button. When this is clicked you will be presented with the same type of panel as the edit panel, except all the values for the wash club will be blank. You can choose to copy the Item Name and Item Details for your Wash Club directly from the kiosk item information. Simply check the boxes for "Use Item name" and "Use item Detail" unchecking these boxes will then allow you to make changes to the existing text without having to start from scratch. Your sign-up price can be lower than your monthly price to entice your customers and offer a first month discount for new members.
