Overview
Cents provides software and payments infrastructure for laundry, dry-cleaning, and garment-care operators — POS, machine payments, delivery routing, and customer communications in one platform. Camber Creek backed a $140M Series C announced in March 2026 as the proptech-focused firm deploys its fifth flagship fund. Cents helps fragmented SMB operators modernize margins with integrated software and payments.
Why Cents is interesting

Competitive landscape
Edge: Deep vertical workflows for laundry versus horizontal SMB POS systems without machine-payment integrations.
Laundry vertical SaaS wins on payment capture and operator ROI, not feature glamour. Camber Creek's LP network validates deals pre-investment — Cents must keep proving ARPU lift after promos fade.
-
Clover / Square adjacent
General SMB POS; weaker laundry-specific machine integrations.
-
Legacy laundry POS vendors incumbent
Older on-prem systems with limited payments.
-
Manual cash/card readers incumbent
Default for small operators without software.
Notable stories
