Car wash point-of-sale and business optimization solutions. A Vontier company. This gives us an unrivaled ability to leverage data insights for car wash growth.

The DRB team works together toward a singular goal: To help car wash and quick l**e operators squeeze every ounce of profitability out of their investments. For the conveyorized car wash segment, DRB Tunnel Solutions fulfills that promise with:

Data insights and solutions that predictably drive throughput and revenue. Established in 1984, we power more of the top 50 conveyorized car wash chains than any other technology provider. During the pandemic shutdowns, we shared aggregated data through the Data Bytes video series and other content to guide the industry through recovery. Through our advanced technology, our customers can access their own data to make confident business decisions. And when they engage our partner Suds Creative to apply consumer behavior insights and predictive analysis to that data, operators can discover uncharted paths to growth. Reliable, intuitive software and hardware innovations. Our innovations are constantly pushing car washes and the industry as a whole forward. From our SiteWatch® point-of-sale system that processes 1 million cars a day to the technology that has helped commercialize and advance unlimited wash plans, we’re always looking ahead. Next, we will take the car wash industry into the future with our new platform, Patheon™. Using ongoing UX/UI studies to inform its design and architecture, we will ensure Patheon is the most intuitive system on the market, enabling operators to unlock insights, influence actions, elevate the user experience and optimize their businesses. Best-in-class support team that is passionate about keeping car washes running. Our commitment to the car wash industry is evident in every interaction operators have with our staff, from our long-tenured sales experts through our installation team and after-installation support and beyond. Our Humble, Hungry and Smart culture means we work together to go the extra mile for our customers, we take responsibility for our mistakes while always striving for improvement, and we always treat our customers how we want to be treated. We are here 24/7/365 for emergency support calls and always prioritize down site calls.

Does this happen with you: 1 location, 1 promo, no problem.
5 locations and you're spending your Monday on it. Twenty locations and you've stopped running promos.

Personalized Promotions in Patheon brings it all into one place.

Configure once, deploy across every site. Deliver targeted offers by customer segment and grow your wash, not your workload. Personalized Promotions is available today in Patheon.

Rising input costs ranked among the top three challenges in this quarter's ICA data. When every expense is under scrutiny, technology investments often get pushed to the bottom of the list.

This week's tackles a common question: Is license plate recognition really within reach for a single-site wash? Sound familiar? Tell us.

But no one's around to catch a problem before it costs you revenue either.

60% of you said the biggest reason retail customers do not convert is timing.

This week on our Q&A series: what does a realistic membership conversion rate actually look like, and what separates operators at the top of that range from everyone else?

Got a question of your own? Drop it in the comments.

Every customer interaction is an opportunity.

In our poll yesterday, 50% said they wouldn't trust an AI agent with customers unsupervised.

That's exactly why Booth at NACS26 isn't a launch. It's a first look at DRB's Autonomous Sales Agent concept, built expecting to be questioned, not just believed.

Come ask it something hard. Tell us where it falls short. That's what actually shapes what comes next.

We are so excited to be back with this energy at Carwash Con East.

Two weeks out. Booth #513. Atlantic City.
