Car wash software: the plate arrives, the history arrives with it.
Point a phone at the licence plate and the customer appears before the car is parked — who they are, when they last came, the interior detail they always ask for, the promotion worth offering today. When the wash is done the invoice goes out over WhatsApp. CarPanel is the operating system for a car wash whose best operator might not be in tomorrow.

What it is
A car wash runs on what its people remember. One operator knows that the grey Hilux always wants a deep interior, that the customer in bay two settles up on Fridays, that the Tuesday promotion exists. When that operator moves on, the business quietly gets worse — and nobody can point at the moment it happened.
CarPanel is car wash management software that moves that knowledge off the notebook and into the operation. A camera reads the plate on arrival and pulls up the file: name, phone, last visit, services taken, notes, and the services worth suggesting today. The operator picks from a fixed price list, applies the promotion the system has already surfaced, assigns the work to a washer, and closes the visit with an invoice sent straight over WhatsApp.
Powerful for the owner, simple for the operator — including the operator who would rather not learn new software.
How it works
- The car arrives. Scan the plate or take a photo. A returning customer’s file opens in seconds; a new one is created on the spot.
- The visit is set up. Services, combos and extras come from a catalogue priced by vehicle size — the same list for everyone on the team. Promotions that apply today are suggested on arrival and applied in one tap.
- The work is assigned. Each service goes to a washer, so cars attended and revenue contributed are tracked per person.
- Checkout. The invoice is generated and shared over WhatsApp in one tap. The visit, services, promotion and notes land in the customer’s history.
- The owner sees it all. Dashboards for visits, revenue, top services and promotions used — with CSV export — from anywhere.
Built for Latin American operations
Pricing and payment methods follow local practice across Latin America, and invoices travel over WhatsApp because that is where customers already are. The interface is designed for the operator who would rather not learn new software: a fixed list to pick from, promotions already surfaced, one tap to close.

Percentage and fixed-amount discounts, combo deals, weekday offers, frequency rewards and tag-based promotions — suggested on arrival and applied in one tap.

Generated at checkout and shared with the customer over WhatsApp in one tap. No paper.
Does it work for detailing shops as well as washes?
Yes. Detailing shops use the same catalogue for combos, protection packages and paint correction, priced by vehicle size.
