Private Label App (PLA) Program - Laundromat
Overview
The Private Label App (PLA) program allows laundromat operators, route operators, and multi-housing providers to offer their own custom-branded mobile app experience built on the proven FasCard / FLEX platform.
Rather than directing customers to a generic application, the PLA program enables operators to present a fully branded mobile app that reflects their business identity and strengthens their relationship with customers. The app is searchable in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store under the operator’s chosen name and branding.
The PLA is designed as a branding and marketing enhancement and is offered as a premium feature for operators who want to elevate their customer experience while maintaining the reliability and functionality of the FasCard ecosystem.

What the Private Label App (PLA) Is
The PLA is a custom-branded version of the FasCard mobile app that is configured specifically for a single operator account. It delivers the same core functionality as the standard FasCard app while presenting a unique branded experience for customers.
Each PLA:
Is searchable in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
Uses the operator’s business name and branding
Connects directly to the operator’s FasCard or FLEX account
Displays only the locations associated with that operator
Maintains full compatibility with the FasCard platform
Receives ongoing updates and enhancements alongside the FasCard app
This approach allows operators to offer a professional, branded mobile experience without the cost or complexity of developing and maintaining a custom application from scratch.
How the Private Label App Works
When a customer downloads and registers using a Private Label App, the process is designed to be simple and intuitive.
Upon registration:
The user is automatically associated with the operator’s FasCard or FLEX account
The nearest location is presented to the user
No store search or manual selection is required
The onboarding experience is faster and more streamlined
Customers who already use the general FasCard app can continue using it without interruption. However, when they access a location associated with a Private Label App, they will see a one-time banner prompting them to download the branded app, with a direct link provided.
This ensures a smooth transition while encouraging adoption of the operator’s branded experience.
Branding and Customization Options
The Private Label App can be customized to reflect the operator’s brand identity across key visual elements.
Available customization includes:
App name (can be any approved business or brand name)
App store icon
Initial splash screen displayed at startup
Header graphic
Header color scheme
Footer color scheme
Footer menu color styling
Branded push notifications
Branding is configured at the account level, allowing multiple locations to share a consistent brand identity within a single app.
Operators work directly with the CCI CMS team to develop and organize branding assets, ensuring the final product meets platform requirements and maintains a professional appearance.
Location Visibility and User Experience
The Private Label App is designed to reinforce brand identity and simplify the customer experience.
In the Private Label App:
Only locations associated with the operator’s account are visible
Customers interact exclusively with that brand’s locations
The nearest location is automatically presented to the user
In contrast:
The general FasCard app may display multiple FasCard or FLEX locations in an area
This distinction helps operators maintain a focused, brand-specific experience for their customers.
Updates and Ongoing Support
Private Label Apps are maintained as part of the FasCard platform and receive continuous updates.
Key points:
PLA apps are updated whenever the FasCard mobile app is updated
In many cases, PLA updates are released before the general app
All technical support is provided by CCI Support
No additional app maintenance is required by the operator
This ensures the app remains current, secure, and fully compatible with platform enhancements.
Future Enhancements
The Private Label App platform is designed to evolve alongside the FasCard system.
Additional PLA-exclusive capabilities are currently under development and will be introduced in future releases. These enhancements are intended to further strengthen brand identity, customer engagement, and operational flexibility.
