CSC ServiceWorks Inc. – which delivers technology-enabled laundry services within the multifamily and academic housing markets – recently announced the closing of its acquisition of Happily Inc. (dba One Tap Away), as well as the principal assets of The Laundry Chute, LLC.
One Tap Away is a developer of next-gen technology designed to serve multifamily housing and unlock new smart amenities for properties and their residents. The Laundry Chute is a tech-forward services company developing peer-to-peer driven technology and full-service laundry offerings on college campuses.
Both businesses have played a strategic role in CSC’s recent move into the wash-dry-fold laundry market.
The added capabilities will support existing and expanded technology-enabled solutions to a growing number of consumers as the company “continues to remake the student and resident experience” with this new offering, according to CSC.
“Our pursuit of wash-dry-fold is rooted in meeting consumer demand and doing so with a winning business model that leverages our existing fixed assets,” said Tony Sculthorpe, chief commercial officer for CSC.
“Our clients see the tremendous value in this new amenity and the positive impact it has on their students and residents who lead very busy lives,” added CSC CEO Mark Hjelle. “These days, people want to save time, especially when it comes to tasks like laundry. We are very excited to bring this new offering to market for the clients and consumers we serve. These acquisitions add to the superior team we’ve assembled, combining strong technology backgrounds and consumer services experience. We are excited about the tremendous opportunity ahead of us as we do more to simplify the lives of millions of people every day.”
