ThermoTex and Axcess IT Announce Exciting New Integrations

/in /by

As part of an exciting collaboration with ThermoTex, the team here at Axcess IT are thrilled to announce a number of new system integrations which will provide better solutions for our clients and their customers.

We recently met with Tex ID director, TabishAiman, to discuss the integration of a number of our products with ThermoTex’s own systems. The results have been excellent some of them are already in use by our customers, and some of them will launch in the coming weeks. Here’s a little more about the developments we’ve made.

Thermo-Ident 1 & 2

We worked with ThermoTex to integrate out systems with their Thermo-Ident innovations. The Thermo-Ident systems are designed for temporary and permanent marking of garments using a thermal transfer printing process.

We integrated them with our EPOS system and our LAMS (laundry and management) system, offering a multitude of benefits for our customers. Commissioning and handling is now faster and more efficient, while printing, cutting, and heat-sealing can be carried out in the shortest time possible. The system requires little maintenance and is due to go live at one of our customer’s factories very soon.

RFID Systems

The RFID Cage Readers and Table-Top Readers provided by ThermoTex have also been integrated with our systems. This offers fully-automatic identification of different textiles, contactless reading, as well as single reading, stack reading, and bulk reading. Some of our current customers are already using this new innovation, and we’ve had great feedback on it!

Automated Laundry Sorting System SorTexx

Lastly, we’ve managed to integrate our systems with OUT-Sortexx, a laundry sorting system that optimizes working processes. When the garments are ready, staff scan the barcodes which communicate with the ThermoTex sorting cages. A small light at the top of a specific slot is then activated, so the member of staff knows where to put the item. If it’s placed in the wrong cage, an alarm is triggered.

The benefits of this are clear to see. There’s less risk of human error among staff, and they are able to go about their business more efficiently, without making mistakes. The reduced number of lost or misplaced items will also boost the company’s reputation, and there’ll be no need to splash out to replace items on behalf of customers.

How will these integrations help?

These integrations will help our clients develop more efficient working processes, leveraging the very latest technology to offer better services to their own customers. Managers will benefit from less stress, and fewer items will go missing, which means companies will be able to develop a better reputation for quality and high standards.

Our work with ThermoTex is certainly not over. We’re currently working on developing an assisted sorting conveyor system for hanging garments, to make life easier for all laundry businesses.

TabishAiman, Tex ID director, says, TexID, as ThermoTex Nagel’s distributor for RFID and Barcoding solutions, needs to work very closely with ePOS/LMS Integrators to achieve an effective solution. We are proud to include Axcess IT as one of our premier resellers who we fully support with technical back up.  Axcess IT’s wealth of experience, working with a broad spectrum of Clients from single unit Dry Cleaners to large Industrial Scale Laundries, provides a significant level of tacit knowledge and expertise to our team.Having already completed our first few projects together we look forward to a long and beneficial collaboration.

Axcess IT Enjoy Spectacular Success At This Year’s LCT CleanEx Show

/in /by

Earlier this year, the team here at Axcess IT was thrilled to attend the 2016 LCT CleanEx Show  the UK’s only exhibition dedicated to laundry, dry cleaning and textile care for the third time running. Over two action-packed days in April, we attended the event at the prestigious Royal Ascot Racecourse, where we met dry cleaners from all over the country, from big commercial laundries to small, family-run businesses.

Launched back in 2012 and taking place every two years, the LCT CleanEx Show attracts visitors from all over the world. It provides an unparalleled opportunity for businesses within the sector to compare everything from industrial washing machines to dry cleaning operation systems like ours. There were demonstrations, workshops and free training events, as well as seminars and talks by some of the leaders in the industry. Keynote speakers this year included Adrian Mayhew from Berendsen, Mike Palin from the TSA, Mick Christian from Electrolux, Jackie Chappell, one of the country’s leading cleaning entrepreneurs (and first female CEO of British Rail), and Jonathan O’Brien from The Drycleaner App. There was also a Networking Dinner for attendees, and this year’s event broke previous records for the number of delegates and exhibitors!

At this year’s event we presented our Dry Cleaning EPOS system to delegates, which received a thoroughly positive response. We showcased the features of the system to great effect, demonstrating everything from the basic accounts and sales interfaces, to the workload management and item tracker. Visitors were particularly interested in features like setting staff targets, the expense management tools and our innovative loyalty card module. There was also detailed information about the three tiers we offer for different business sizes Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Not only were visitors impressed with our powerful, easy-to-use systems, they were also blown away by the new design of our exhibition stand. Our fresh new look went down a storm with visitors, and we attracted far more interest than usual!

Our collaborators at this year’s event were ThermoTex and TexID. ThermoTex is a German firm specialising in the marking of textiles, and TexID is the UK and Ireland distribution arm of the company. Our system was also demonstrated on their stand, showing off the seamless integration we can provide with existing systems. Between both of our stands, we showed off Axcess IT’s superb range of options to some of the biggest names in the business.

The team we took to the exhibition thought the 2016 LCT CleanEx Show was our best exhibition to date. We managed to secure double the number of referrals compared to any other year we’ve attended. We made plenty of new connections with influential figures within the industry, and perhaps most importantly, we signed off on a number of exciting deals with dry cleaners across London.

Our team were thrilled with the way the event flowed, and would like to extend their thanks and congratulations to the LCT staff for organising a consistently great event.
