The commercial washers and dryers will be transformed into modern, connected assets enabling powerful revenue management and consumer engagement. PORTLAND, Ore., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PayRange LLC, the category‑defining commerce platform for unattended retail, today announced a landmark agreement with CSC ServiceWorks, the world's largest commercial laundry operator.

The PayRange technology is fully integrated with CSC's One Tap Away (OTA) consumer app which also enables rich experiences for residents. "After exhaustive testing of every credible solution—including building our own at one point—we chose to partner with PayRange because it's the only fully featured platform in the market. It goes far beyond payment acceptance to deliver real‑time revenue management, dynamic pricing, consumer engagement, and deep operational intelligence in one unified solution, exactly what we need to modernize and grow our business." said Rod Castellanos, Chief Executive Officer of CSC ServiceWorks. "Connecting our machines to one unified platform lets us optimize pricing in minutes instead of months, launch targeted promotions instantly, and deliver the mobile convenience today's residents expect. Above all, it gives our property partners and investors clear proof that CSC is leading the digital transformation of the laundry industry." "CSC is widely regarded as the gold standard in commercial laundry," added Paresh Patel, Founder and CEO of PayRange. "Their decision to partner with PayRange validates a decade of relentless innovation. Together we will set a new benchmark for revenue management, operational efficiency, and consumer experience across unattended retail." A New Operating Model for Laundry Real‑time revenue management: Cloud pricing, demand‑based promotions, and overnight portfolio‑wide price updates replace costly, multi‑year laborious reprice efforts. Data‑driven marketing & loyalty: PayRange's in‑app offers, gamification, and loyalty program drive repeat usage and lift same‑store sales. Lower total cost of ownership: Installation is retrofit into existing machines at a fraction of the cost of card reader solutions; PayRange hardware snaps into existing coin‑ and card‑operated machines in minutes. Enterprise‑grade analytics: Unified APIs give CSC the power to build its own applications and dashboards empowering management with live insights into machine health, consumer usage patterns, and revenue trends all the while retaining ownership of data.
