The Cents <> Washlynx integration sends machine information from the Cents employee application to Washlynx, so that attendants can seamlessly start and run machines from Washlynx directly.
To utilize the integration, create a new order on Cents and move the order to Processing. Assign the relevant machines used to the order using the drop-down list of washers and dryers on Cents.
Once the order is in the Processing stage, it will appear in the list of orders under the “Wash, Dry, Fold” tab on Washlynx:
Click into the order on Washlynx, where the order number, entry date and due date are listed.
Click into the order and click “Start machine for this order.”
Using the NFC tap functionality, tap the phone against the reader on the machine to start the machine.
Once the machines have finished processing the order, mark the order as processing complete on Cents.
