## About Laundry Wise

Laundry Wise Pty Ltd (ABN 54 167 060 451) sells smart laundry locker hardware, free operator software and sales packs to laundromat operators, dry cleaners and entrepreneurs. The company traded as Breezy Laundry Lockers from 2012 until 2026; breezyll.com now redirects to laundrywise.com at the same paths.

Registered office 41-43 Robe Street, St Kilda, Melbourne VIC 3182, Australia; US fulfilment in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Three things, one supplier: lockers (hardware), Laundry Wise software (free, payments-funded) and the Sales and Marketing Pack (the materials that win buildings).
