This page describes the differences between the standard LaundryCard Live format and Advanced LaundryCard Live, what to expect, and how to begin getting the most out of your Advanced LaundryCard Live (ALCL) subscription.
Introduction
When LaundryCard Live first launched, its core function focused on accessing a store's X-Changer system remotely, providing users with the first of many streamlined methods of access to a store or store group's information vs. a traditional Virtual Private Network (VPN) as seen with LaundryCard v8 and prior. Advanced LaundryCard Live further improves on this streamlined method, allowing for a multitude of comprehensive functions to give a more immediate, direct management site-to-store experience.
Standard vs. Advanced
So, why Advanced LaundryCard Live? Accessibility. With an enriched user experience, store owners, managers, and even technicians and administrative personnel with access can benefit largely from the immediate availability of information and ALCL's advanced functions.
