Camel Express adopts WashStacks to manage its six Nashville sites

Camel Express Car Wash has chosen WashStacks as the operations management platform across all six of its locations in the greater Nashville area, according to reporting from Car Wash Business Center. The decision follows an evaluation in which the operator compared several systems before settling on one connected platform for day-to-day management.

The move ties into a broader goal the company set for 2026. Tyler Slaughter, owner, CEO and COO of Camel Express, said the aim was to streamline systems, reduce complexity and make onboarding easier for staff. After reviewing multiple options, he said, "WashStacks checked every box."

What the deal covers

Camel Express runs six sites and offers a range of wash packages along with unlimited wash memberships. Rolling a single operations platform across all of those locations is intended to give the company a consistent set of tools for managing a multi-location business rather than piecing together separate systems at each wash.

The operator framed the choice around repeatable processes and consistent execution, and pointed to responsive support as a factor in the decision. WashStacks, which is built and maintained in Nashville by a team the company says has more than 50 years of combined car wash experience, started as software its founders created to run their own washes. Jason VanDerMark, CEO of WashStacks, said the partnership would help shape the platform's development.

Why it matters for operators

For multi-site operators, the practical story here is standardization. As a chain grows past a handful of locations, the difference between every wash doing things its own way and every wash following one shared system shows up in training time, labor costs and customer experience. Camel Express tied its platform decision directly to onboarding speed, which is a recurring pain point for washes dealing with turnover at the tunnel and in the lobby.

The evaluation process is worth noting too. Camel Express did not pick a tool on brand recognition alone; it vetted several before committing. Operators considering an operations platform can take the same disciplined approach, mapping their actual daily workflows against what each system does before signing. The fit that matters is not just the feature list but whether the tool matches how the business already runs and how support responds when something breaks on a busy Saturday.

There is also a reminder in the vendor's origin story. Software built by people who have run washes tends to reflect real operational needs, from scheduling to damage claims to membership management. When comparing platforms, operators should ask how close the provider stays to the realities of running a wash day to day, and whether the company treats support as part of the product rather than an afterthought. For a six-location group, the payoff of getting that decision right is consistency that scales as the business adds sites.
