Push notifications: the app tells you when your machine is done

Nothing worse than forgetting your laundry in a full machine. From now on, after the first payment, the app asks the customer if they want to receive phone alerts. If they accept, two notifications are sent:

About 2 minutes before the end — “Your dryer ends in 2 min”, so they can get ready.
When it ends — “Your laundry is ready. You can pick it up.”

Notifications arrive even with the app closed, and on phones where the app is installed as a home-screen icon (PWA), they appear in the system tray like any other app. Customers can manage which devices receive alerts in Profile → Notifications → Devices with alerts and turn them off at any time.

For the customer, less time checking the app and more peace of mind. For the owner, less forgotten laundry in machines mid-morning and happier customers.

Games section in the app: Sudoku, 2048 and Block Blast, with points that turn into balance

The SCApp app gains a games section designed for the waiting time. Three games available from day one:

Sudoku — classic 9×9 with three levels (Easy, Medium, Hard). Custom numeric keypad so the phone keyboard does not cover the board.
2048 — merge the tiles up to 2048. Native swipe on phone, arrow keys on laptop.
Block Blast — drop pieces onto the 8×8 board; complete a row or column and it explodes for bonus points.

Each finished game awards points. Those points can then be exchanged for real SCApp balance (10 points = 0.01 €), usable at any SCApp laundry. There is also a place where customers can suggest new games they would like to see in the app.

For the customer, a simple way to pass time at the laundry while earning a few cents back. For the owner, one more reason for the customer to open the SCApp app instead of scrolling social media — and to come back.

Refreshed app: redesigned interface, custom avatars and your laundry logo on the home

The main app pages (welcome, sign-up, home, profile, payment, top-up, wash and dry) have been given a new editorial look: translucent glass-effect cards, soft gradient backgrounds in your shop colors, breathier typography and subtle entrance micro-animations. The balance is now front and centre, and Wash, Dry and Café are reachable in a single tap from the home screen.

Custom avatars — each customer can pick an avatar from 122 options grouped by category (Smileys, Animals, Nature, Transport, Sports, Symbols, Fantasy, Flags), or keep the initial of their name. The choice is saved with their account and follows them across any SCApp laundry where they have a session.

Laundry logo on display — your laundry logo now appears next to the shop name at the top of the home screen, alongside "Laundry · name · location". A small detail that reinforces your brand identity every time a customer opens the app.

For the customer, the app gained personality and is more pleasant to use day to day. For the owner, it is one more clear brand signal in every interaction — without losing any existing feature: payment, top-up, voucher and ledger logic remain untouched.

17 May 2026 Back Office · Audit ★

Manual activation history

Every manual activation issued from the back office is now recorded in a dedicated history visible to the owner. The log includes the user who activated it, the exact date and time, the machine involved and — when applicable — the reason.

The goal is simple: the owner now has an auditable history of every free activation. Staff with back office access can still help customers in legitimate situations (a faulty machine, a test after maintenance), but they can no longer do it invisibly.

For anyone running a self-service operation, this closes a door that previously could only be closed by trust. Trust is still welcome — but now with proof.

Ledger of balance movements for app users

Every app user now has a complete ledger of balance movements in their SCApp account. Every credit (cash top-up at the kiosk, card top-up, loyalty bonus, voucher) and every debit (machine payment, refund, adjustment) is recorded with date, value, source and resulting balance.

Under the hood the operation is hardened: the ledger entry is written in the same database transaction that updates the balance, with row locking — the balance cannot drift from the movement history. Every operation carries a unique identifier that lets us audit, reconcile and, if needed, safely reverse it.

For the customer, this means full transparency: every cent has a reason. For the owner, it is another layer of financial robustness for the shop.
