Geelus has been a trusted option for dry cleaners since 2006. Laavo takes a different approach: simpler setup, lower price, and WhatsApp notifications built in.

Quick verdict
Pick Geelus if: Shops that need offline POS capability, a built-in pickup/delivery routing system, or the reassurance of working with a nearly 20-year-old platform
Pick Laavo if: you want the simplest setup, the lowest price (€10/month), and WhatsApp notifications — with a 3-month free trial and no credit card required.
Both work well for: single-location dry cleaners managing orders, customers, and day-to-day shop operations.

We think Laavo is the better fit for most independent dry cleaners — but these are genuine advantages worth knowing before you decide.
Geelus has been in the dry cleaning software market since 2006 — nearly 20 years. That longevity means a mature, battle-tested platform shaped by decades of real shop feedback. For owners who want an established vendor with deep category experience, Geelus's track record is meaningful.
Geelus's POS can operate offline, which matters in areas with unreliable internet or during connectivity outages. Laavo is fully browser-based and requires an active internet connection to function.
Geelus includes a full pickup and delivery system — driver assignment, route optimisation, geofencing, and a driver navigation app — starting from the Starter plan. Laavo does not currently offer delivery route management. If scheduled collections and deliveries are a significant part of your business model, Geelus is a meaningfully more capable option for that workflow.
Numbers and specifics — not adjectives.
Geelus's Starter ($19/mo) and Small ($39/mo) plans cap orders at 50 and 250 per month respectively. For unlimited orders, Geelus requires the Medium plan at $129/month. Laavo has no order limits at any price.
Geelus's 30-day trial is more generous than most competitors. Laavo's 3-month trial goes further — a full quarter of real business activity before you pay anything.
Laavo's one-click WhatsApp integration works at no extra cost with no API setup. WhatsApp is not listed as a notification channel on Geelus's current site; they offer SMS and email notifications.
Laavo's interface is fully available in 10 languages. Geelus's UI appears to be English-only based on their site and feature listings; multi-language support is not advertised.
Laavo runs in any browser and takes about 3 minutes to configure. Geelus supports browser access alongside a downloadable desktop application — useful for offline mode, but adds installation steps on Windows or Mac.
