Brightside Academy Partners with ServiceChannel and Accelerates Service Requests by 93 Percent
ServiceChannel
Deploying Cloud and Mobile-Based Service Automation Platform Reduced Workflow Complexity and Time Constraints across 60+ Sites
NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2015 – ServiceChannel today announced that Brightside Academy, an early education and child care provider with 60+ locations throughout the Northeast, has successfully deployed its leading SaaS service automation platform to achieve significant cost saving and operational efficiencies, including the reduction of time required to resolve service requests by more than 90 percent.
“Maintaining excellence in our facilities management practice is a fundamental business requirement for Brightside Academy,” said Chelsea Prior, Brightside’s Senior Project and Technical Services Manager. “But facilities management can be challenging in a highly distributed enterprise like ours with dozens of sites that can develop any number of issues requiring immediate service.”
To overcome these challenges, Brightside evaluated a number of facilities management software options before ultimately selecting the ServiceChannel solution. Brightside identified several goals for its deployment including:
-
Empowering any approved Brightside employee with a self-service work order initiation and tracking system,
-
Accelerating workflow process to reduce costs and the number of unresolved cases,
-
Improving contractor performance management and facilities management budgeting through analytics and reporting.
Specifically, Brightside deployed both the ServiceChannel Service Automation core platform and the ServiceChannel Custom Analytics module to meet these goals. Using these enterprise-class software solutions, Brightside was able to streamline its key service processes as well as track progress and generate reports instantaneously. The solutions also provided Brightside’s leadership team with unprecedented visibility into Brightside’s facilities management program, providing unprecedented ROI data, and enabling Brightside to take on higher work order volumes more efficiently.
“We were previously very siloed as a company, especially when it came to facilities management matters,” Prior said. “Having a central service automation platform in place has enabled us now to be one team. It’s opened up the lines of communications greatly, which not only helps us resolve issues more quickly but has given us the justification to invest further into our program.”
