the U.S. and Canada in office buildings, residential
communities, multifamily
residences and parking
structures.
To operate the selfservice lockers, customers
lock their dirty garments
in a “bizzie box,” and text
bizzie their box number to
place their order. When
the order is complete and
put back in the locker, the
customer receives a text
from bizzie with a personalized identification number which enables them to
retrieve their items with
unprecedented ease and
on their own schedule.
