Welcome to the Washlink Systems family Burk and your Splash Express team.

With the new gate controller and Saleslink POS installed (using Splash's excising Unitec Sentinels) the installation was as clean as the cars.

Splash Express is definitely Yakima's favorite car wash. And now is improved with a new advanced Washlink gate controller that the employee's love using.

ISI WashSoft to Saleslink Conversion

H20 Carwash in Highland Ranch, CO.

The Washlink Systems team was asked by Hayden Shamburger head coach of H20 carwash in beautiful Highlands Ranch, Colorado to convert their dated and unsupported ISI WashSoft POS to our vastly advanced Saleslink POS. We were also asked to add a Saleslink Stacker Controller to H2O's excisting Kesseltronics RTU, improving reliability and simplifying employees ability to stack vehicles.

First project was to update the Unitec C-Start pay station to the most current version.

As the storm rages on, the WLS team works inside diligently converting the ISI system to Saleslink.

Just as we were making major progress on the conversion, a huge spring snow storm hit. While the storm was raging outside the WLS team was inside working on the conversion.

As the storm passed the WLS team was ready for testing.

Coach Hayden deeply involved with training.

Though very challenging, our goal was to use all the existing and previously installed ISI hardware to work with our Saleslink software, saving H2O significant dollars.  Converting the ISI WashSoft system to our Saleslink project consisted of the following.

  1. Installing a Saleslink Stacker to operate in code mode.
  2. Connect the Saleslink Stacker Controller to a Kesseltronics RTU.
  3. Update the Unitec C-Start to the most current software version.
  4. Program the C-Start to allow for upgrades from RFID tag and Rain X or one of 3 full service options.
  5. Get the existing traffic signal working correctly with the controller.
  6. Program the C-Start to automatically close a transaction and print receipt if RFID customer does not buy or upgrade within 30 seconds.
  7. Install Saleslink POS.
  8. Update all excising ISI sales terminals with Saleslink POS.
  9.  Connect all existing printers, scanners and cash drawers to function correctly with Saleslink.

During the storm the controller was being rewired to our high standards. This picture shows what it looked like prior to the rewiring.

Steve trains the H2O staff on how their new Saleslink Stacker works.

Washlink Systems can proudly say we're completely experienced in converting the discontinued and unsupported ISI WashSoft car wash program to a completely fully functioning Saleslink System on excisting ISI hardware. If you are now using an ISI system and are concerned with your future with ISI WashSoft please contact us and we'll guide you through the process of converting to Saleslink.

WLS Team visits the Lone Star State

,

The Washlink Systems team, Mike Jensen, Andrew Davies and Jay Japka attended the 2016 SCWA car wash expo located in Arlington Texas. The SCWA is the Southwest’s largest regional network of car wash owners and operators. Washlink Systems is proud to work together with the SCWA to provide automated car wash solutions at the well-attended convention.  Bringing awareness of our new technologies and products to the owners and operators in attendance is the primary reason we attend these conventions.

Consider rain as an opportunity

Steve’s Car Wash Service’s team believes inclement weather is the perfect time to do a major car wash overhaul. So when it rains in Northern Californian Steve’s Car Wash team of experienced car wash installers jumped at the opportunity to upgrade the Morgan Hill Car Wash with a new drying system. 

With the gray skies and rain coming down, Steve, Mike and Bret marched into Morgan Hill Car Wash ready to replace their two old and dated 60HP 2 speed Southern Pride/International drying system with a brand new drying system. Before the day was over and the rain subsided, the team had installed four 60HP Tower Aerodry drying systems driers.

Future improvements scheduled for the next rainy day will include installing a Hanna Water Wizard and a Washlink Systems 32 function controller.

Morgan Hill Car Wash has also purchased a Washlink Systems Saleslink point of sale system to be added to their gift shop to sell car washes and gift shop merchandise.

Modernizing your car wash doesn’t have to painful as proven by the Steve’s Car Wash team. By using inclement weather as their scheduled installation date, the update can be performed while not impeding on business since it isn’t condusive to car washing.

Contact us to investigate how we can accomplish the same thing for your car wash.
