Defining the World of Car Wash Technology

Our Mission
Our History
Innovative Control Systems is the industry-leading provider of technology solutions for the car wash industry. It is our mission to leverage our experience as car wash operators, our position as a market leader, and our ability to incorporate advanced technology into visionary products, to enable our customers to di� erentiate their operations, achieve a distinct competitive advantage, and maximize their earnings.
Kevin Detrick, founder and President of ICS, was not satis� ed with the computerized management and control systems that were available for his own car wash. Convinced that technology could improve the pro� tability of his own car wash, and for all car wash operators, he founded ICS in 1988. Over the course of the next 30 years ICS pioneered numerous technology-based innovations for the car wash industry, including: Tunnel Master, an integrated tunnel controller and point-of-sale management system (1988), the � rst gated Express car wash (2001), the � rst payment terminal with cash dispensing (2004), and most recently, the development of Washnetics, the science of automating the car wash process (2017). Now, 30 years later, Kevin’s original goal is unchanged: to provide all car wash operators with improved pro� tability through the application of advanced technology.
