LMS

Indian Railways, one of the largest railway networks in the world, serves millions of passengers daily. Managing large-scale operations like laundry services for bedrolls is a complex task that requires precision, efficiency, and accountability. Recognizing the need for modernization, Indian Railways partnered with Sedulous Softech to develop a Custom Laundry Management System, a first-of-its-kind solution tailored to their unique requirements.

The Challenge

Managing laundry operations for Indian Railways was a logistical challenge. Key issues included:

• Lack of real-time tracking of stock and operations.

• Inefficient handling of soiled and fresh bedrolls.

• Manual record-keeping, leading to errors and delays.

• Difficulty in reconciling buffer stock.

• Limited accountability for delays, quality issues, or discrepancies.

Indian Railways required a system that could streamline these processes, reduce inefficiencies, and align with its modernization goals.
