StarchUp review
A delivery-focused dry-cleaning system with production tracking and branded apps.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
StarchUp is a cloud-based point-of-sale and operations platform for dry cleaners, laundries, and other garment-care businesses. It combines customer relationship management, garment and order tracking, production history, retail inventory, reporting, printing, and delivery workflows in one system. Its web, iOS, and Android access suits small and mid-market operators that want store operations and delivery managed through a shared platform, with customer web ordering and branded mobile apps for shoppers.
The published plans show a paid-only structure. Cents POS costs $299 USD per store per month with monthly billing and includes point of sale, production tracking, and retail and inventory tools. Delivery costs $349 per month when billed annually or $399 per month with monthly billing; both versions add heat-seal or day tags, route optimization, a driver app, automated email and SMS, and customer web ordering. Growth + Cents costs $439 per month annually or $499 per month monthly, combining Cents point of sale with delivery capabilities and customer apps. This makes the lower Cents POS tier suitable for store operations, while delivery and branded-app requirements move the subscription into higher-priced plans.
Delivery is the platform’s clearest area of depth. StarchUp supports digital driver manifests, route optimization, real-time driver tracking, pickup and delivery notices, contactless pickup and payment, and garment activity histories. Equipment integrations include Metalprogetti, Quicksort, and ADAC. Support is offered through chat, email, and phone, though 24/7 support is not listed. Choose StarchUp if delivery coordination, customer notifications, production visibility, and branded mobile ordering are priorities. Businesses seeking only basic point of sale may find the delivery-oriented tiers unnecessary, while operators needing continuous support coverage should weigh its stated support hours against alternatives.
