Mac-Gray Corporation (NYSE: TUC), the nation's premier laundry facilities contractor and a provider of other amenities to the multi-housing industry, and the largest provider of such services to the college and university market, recently introduced LaundryView(TM). This product, initially being deployed in colleges, enables students to monitor the status of the washers and dryers in their campus laundry rooms from any device that has a Web browser.

Mac-Gray developed the custom Web application with the help of Boston-based Pixel Bridge Inc., a web consultancy.

LaundryView(TM) is the latest product in Mac-Gray's suite of Intelligent Laundry Solutions(TM). In addition to presenting up-to-the-minute information about the laundry machines, it enables students to be notified of changes through alerts to their computers or cell phones. Each machine reports its status to LaundryView(TM) several times every minute and, from their computers, students can see if the laundry room is busy, and can ask to be notified when machines become available. Once a student has started a machine, they can ask LaundryView(TM) to remind them when the machine completes its cycle.

Bob Tuttle, Vice President of Field Operations at Mac-Gray who oversaw the project, is excited about the new application’s potential. “LaundryView(TM) is an ideal amenity for the university student of the 21st century,” he explains. “Our solution helps students address a routine but necessary task like doing laundry much more efficiently.”

"Beyond the convenience to the user, LaundryView(TM) can identify machines that need service and automatically notify Mac-Gray. Additionally, by monitoring the number of cycles that a machine has actually completed, it will help us to anticipate required preventive maintenance and possible replacement of equipment," said Neil F. MacLellan, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Mac-Gray.
