WashStacks, the leading car wash operations and HR management platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with NXT, a point-of-sale provider which also services the car wash industry.
Both companies are recognized as technology-focused revolutionaries committed to modernizing car wash operations through innovative solutions.
The partnership addresses a critical need in the car wash industry: the disconnect between point-of-sale systems and operational management platforms.
By integrating key performance indicators from NXT’s point-of-sale system with WashStacks’ comprehensive operations suite, car wash operators will be able to make more informed decisions while reducing manual processes and improving operational efficiency.
“This partnership represents exactly what our industry needs – technology that works together rather than in silos,” Jason VanDerMark, CEO of WashStacks, said in a statement. “By connecting operational management with wash data, we’re giving operators the complete picture they need to run more disciplined, profitable businesses.
“This integration eliminates the guesswork and manual processes that have held operators back from scaling efficiently.”
The new collaboration will result in an integration that streamlines operations by connecting wash data with comprehensive business management tools, representing the kind of forward-thinking approach that it believes will reshape how car wash operators manage their businesses.
“We’re excited to partner with WashStacks to bring our customers a more integrated technology experience,” said Justin Ruelas, CEO at NXT. “Car wash operators have been asking for better connectivity between their point-of-sale data and operational management systems.
“This partnership delivers exactly that – giving our mutual clients the wash volume and performance data they need to optimize staffing, schedule maintenance more intelligently, and reduce time spent on manual reporting.”
The WashStacks-NXT collaboration delivers several game-changing capabilities for car wash operators:
Enhanced Dashboard Visibility: Basic wash metrics from NXT systems will be incorporated directly into WashStacks dashboards, providing operators with current insights into wash volume, revenue trends, and operational performance.
Advanced Reporting Capabilities: New washes per labor hour reports will help operators optimize staffing levels based on actual wash volume, helping improve profitability and resource allocation decisions.
Intelligent Work Order Scheduling: The integration will introduce smarter scheduling functionality that considers car count data when planning maintenance and operational tasks.
Streamlined End-of-Day Operations: Manual data entry for daily closeouts is significantly reduced through automated data synchronization between the point-of-sale and operations platforms.
The WashStacks-NXT integration will be available to clients in beta during the third quarter this year, with full rollout planned prior to 2026. Existing WashStacks and NXT customers will have priority access to the beta program.
WashStacks, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is a comprehensive car wash management platform that combines HR, operations, and business management tools into a single, unified solution.
