CBS

CBS (Cleaner Business Systems) by Shah Corporation is a specialized software solution tailored for the dry cleaning and laundry service industry. Launched in 1997 and developed by Cleaner Business Systems Inc., a division of Shah Corporation based in Burnsville, Minnesota, CBS has carved out a niche by focusing exclusively on the operational needs of garment care businesses. Unlike generic ERP or CRM platforms, CBS is purpose-built to address the unique challenges of tracking garments, managing customer relationships, and streamlining point-of-sale transactions in dry cleaning environments. One of the standout strengths of CBS is its deep integration of barcode-based garment tracking. This feature allows businesses to monitor items throughout the cleaning process, reducing the risk of loss or misplacement—a common pain point in the industry. The POS system is intuitive and fast, enabling quick check-ins and check-outs, while also supporting digital receipts via email or SMS. CBS also includes robust customer management tools, allowing businesses to maintain detailed profiles, track service history, and implement loyalty programs. These features not only enhance customer satisfaction but also drive repeat business.
