Our Story

SMRT is not another faceless POS software conglomerate with no loyalty to the dry cleaning industry. We are your peer, your advocate, and your biggest fan. 

It All Started In San Francisco..

Years ago our founder took over management of a San Francisco dry cleaner that was struggling to operate. As the business turned around, he ran into a wall trying to find software to support the day to day operations. That’s when he decided to create his own, And the rest is history… Sort of.

We jumped in blind, but felt our way out

Fed up with off the shelf software options that offered limited customization, our founder gathered a team of top-notch engineers and got to work designing a system that would think like a dry cleaner and solve problems before they arose. 

It wasn’t an easy task. It took two long years of building, testing, and re-writing code to get to launch. We brought in the experts, and became experts ourselves, on delivery cloud computing, supply chain, AI, security, and much more.

Success tastes sweet
when shared with others

Our first attempt was a lesson in humility. Early customers patiently waited as we worked on the speed of the product and rooted out bugs. As technology improved, we improved, and soon we found ourselves at the top of the technology pyramid–where no dry cleaning POS software had yet existed. It was a proud moment that we shared with the customers who stuck with us.
