Bringing additional expertise, offerings, and intellectual property to its proprietary digital platform and infrastructure that serves over 230,000 locations and millions of consumers
MELVILLE N.Y., January 20, 2022 – CSC ServiceWorks, Inc. (“CSC”), a market leading consumer services platform company that serves the multifamily and academic housing markets across North America, is pleased to announce the closing of an acquisition of Happily Inc. (dba One Tap Away), and the principal assets of The Laundry Chute, LLC. These highly innovative businesses have played a strategic role in CSC’s recent move into the high growth “wash-dry-fold” laundry market where consumers receive the ultimate in convenience and service – having their laundry done for them and at an affordable price point.
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. “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.
CSC CEO Mark Hjelle said, “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. 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 that we serve. These acquisitions add to the superior team that 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.”
