“As a Board member and Chair of the Compensation, Governance, and Nominating Committee, I’m pleased to support the introduction of our Green Finance Framework,” said Anne Fitzgerald, Trustee. “It’s a practical step that aligns with our broader sustainability strategy and helps ensure we’re investing in projects that support environmental progress in a thoughtful, responsible way.”

New fixed-rate Partner Pages offer seamless service integration at checkout — enhancing the customer experience, reducing support costs, and driving revenue for retail partners

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#taskrabbit—Taskrabbit, the platform connecting people to skilled, reliable Taskers from their local communities, today announced the launch of Taskrabbit Partner Pages: custom landing pages that enable retailers to offer Taskrabbit services as a value-add for their customers and eliminate purchase objections based on assembly or installation. This turnkey solution from Taskrabbit is purpose-built to be configurable, offering services tailored to the customer’s needs around their purchase and a streamlined experience that together drive conversion and satisfaction for partner brands.

The U.S. launch includes Windmill, TUSHY, UPLIFT Desk, and Arcade1Up, each now offering streamlined booking experiences through co-branded Taskrabbit Partner Pages, which have also launched in the U.K. with Danetti and Millie & Jones. Customers shopping with these retailers can schedule assembly or installation help at a fixed price, with automatic matching to a qualified Tasker — no price negotiation, no added fees.

“With our new Taskrabbit Partner Pages, we’re giving retailers a powerful new way to drive conversion, reduce post-purchase friction, and ultimately grow customer brand loyalty,” said Ania Smith, CEO of Taskrabbit. “This is just the beginning for our B2B solutions — the Partner Page Program is the first in a suite of offerings we’re building to help our partners deliver long-term added value to their customers, starting at the point of purchase. Just like our other home services, we want people to enjoy their homes — including what they’ve purchased for them from our partners — without the hassle of maintenance, chores, and projects.”

“Taskrabbit is a game-changer for a fast-growing startup like Windmill,” said Mike Mayer, Co-CEO of Windmill. “While we pride ourselves on creating an easy-to-install, modern air conditioner, many of our customers prefer to avoid the hassle of doing it themselves. This seamless service integration elevates our customers’ experience and, in turn, fuels our growth, allowing us to focus on product innovation while ensuring every customer receives quick, reliable installation.”

“For many of our customers, an UPLIFT Desk is a necessity. Taskrabbit ensures physical limitations never prevents access to this essential ergonomic support,” said Daniel Burrow, Vice President of Growth & Marketing at UPLIFT Desk. “We see Taskrabbit as an extension of our commitment to the customer. It helps us deliver not just a product, but a complete, ready-to-use wellness solution.”

In conversations with partners, Taskrabbit found that they were more willing to introduce Taskrabbit services to their core customer purchase journey if a tailored experience and fixed pricing were available. Based on initial data from partners who have done so, the result is increased sales and more customers taking advantage of the offered services — with Taskrabbit bookings increasing as much as 3x.

Taskrabbit Partner Pages mark a strategic next chapter in Taskrabbit’s plan to provide even more value-add services to businesses. Building on the success of its longstanding partnership with IKEA, Taskrabbit is now expanding its partner offerings, targeting a broader ecosystem of retailers and manufacturers. Taskrabbit empowers brands to offer reliable, on-demand services — like furniture assembly, TV mounting, appliance installation, and home improvement — at the point where consumers are making purchase decisions, enhancing the post-purchase experience.

The program is an ideal solution for companies looking to enhance the customer experience without introducing additional friction or disconnected service touchpoints. They can capitalize on Taskrabbit’s expertise, capabilities, and broad service area across eight countries in North America and Europe. Additionally, Taskers benefit from a consistent stream of confirmed, predictable jobs while gaining exposure to new customers across partner channels for future bookings.

How it works:

• Fixed pricing: Each task is priced upfront based on pre-set prices for selected services
• Auto-match system: Customers are automatically paired with a qualified, available Tasker
• Optionality for Taskers: Taskers can choose which partners they work with via the Tasker app
• Clear task info: Job invitations include detailed expectations and item/service lists

• New project, announced at VivaTech 2025, aims to address housing, urban densification and ecological conservation challenges in the southeastern region of New Brunswick
• Collaborative virtual environments will enable stakeholders to model, analyze and plan sustainable solutions for growing populations in Dieppe and Moncton
• Dassault Systèmes will use its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create a virtual twin of a zone in New Brunswick enriched with territorial data from the Université de Moncton and other local partners

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#3DEXPERIENCE—Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and the Université de Moncton, Canada’s largest French-language university outside Québec, today announced the launch of a new project aimed to solve housing, urban densification and ecological conservation challenges in the southeastern region of New Brunswick, Canada. The partnership was signed at VivaTech 2025 in Paris.

The six-month project will develop collaborative virtual environments to model, analyze and plan sustainable urban development in the cities of Dieppe and Moncton – two of Canada’s fastest growing metropolitan areas in the last 20 years – all while establishing a protected wildlife corridor in the southeastern part of New Brunswick.

In addition to the Université de Moncton and Dassault Systèmes, the project brings together several Canadian partners: the cities of Dieppe and Moncton, the Southeast Regional Service Commission, Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick, and the New Brunswick-based businesses Black Arcs and Remsoft.

Dassault Systèmes will use its 3DEXPERIENCE platform to create, maintain and analyze a virtual twin of a zone in New Brunswick measuring approximately 386 miles² (1,000 km²). This virtual twin is enriched with territorial data on buildings, zoning, mobility, biodiversity and more, provided by the partners.

Stakeholders will use this virtual twin to share information, test and evaluate different planning scenarios, evaluate the impacts of urban densification, and make informed decisions to optimize housing planning and preserve ecological corridors that are essential to the region’s environmental wellbeing.

“Our partnership will enable the Université de Moncton to benefit from a large-scale territory virtual twin that is delivered quickly through a managed solution that reduces costs and risks. Local stakeholders will be able to simulate what-if scenarios, evaluate options and take informed decisions – all on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform – to solve complex real-life challenges and optimize quality of life in the region of New Brunswick,” said Josephine Ong, Vice President, Cities and Public Services Industry, Dassault Systèmes.

“This partnership with Dassault Systèmes positions the Université de Moncton at the forefront of digital innovation applied to urban and environmental issues. We are proud to put our expertise at the service of a project with strong regional and international impact,” said Francis LeBlanc, associate vice-rector for research and dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, Université de Moncton.

This collaboration was made possible thanks to the support of Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB), which played a key role in fostering the connection between Dassault Systèmes and the Université de Moncton.

“New Brunswick is truly a hub of innovation and collaboration. This partnership demonstrates the strength of the connections between research, industry, and regional development. Together, we are creating solutions that have a real local impact and significant global potential,” said Luke Randall, minister responsible for Opportunities New Brunswick.

This project represents an important step forward for urban development in New Brunswick. By combining Dassault Systèmes’ technology with local expertise, it will help plan city growth more effectively while protecting the environment. The approach could also serve as a model for other regions in Canada and beyond.
