Find Top Performing Retail Maintenance Providers and Get Better Work Done

Retail facility managers everywhere are looking for answers to vital questions, like:

“Where can I find electricians to service my 50 retail locations?”

“How do I choose the best service providers for my retail locations?”

“Is my broker suggesting the best retail maintenance contractors, or just the cheapest ones?”

When it comes to the standard approach to picking vendors to handle your retail maintenance service needs, the process often involves a lot of guesswork. Even when partnering with brokers, it’s difficult to get the complete picture of service providers when everyone has varying motivations for recommending specific vendors. So how do you know you’re choosing a provider that will give you the expertise, service, and cost you’re looking for?

Our Service Provider Marketplace offers you provider recommendations from our proprietary database that is 100% free from bias or opinion. Instead, we rely entirely on advanced scoring metrics that bring together performance data like actual invoice cost, quality of work speed, and more, tailored for your region.

With the Marketplace, you get recommendations based on your unique needs and the traits that matter most in a retail maintenance service provider to increase the efficiency and uptime of your service needs, so that you can focus on growing your business.

Manage Providers from a Single Platform

ServiceChannel allows you to manage both internal and external service providers, all from a single platform. Whether you’re managing plumbers, HVAC specialists, electricians, or carpenters, or other retail facility maintenance providers, it can all be optimized through ServiceChannel.

Find the Right Service Provider for Your Retail Locations

The ServiceChannel Service Provider Marketplace is different from any other means of finding retail maintenance contractors. We don’t operate like a brokerage, which are motivated to hire the cheapest labor in order to save money. Nor are we  a referral network, with simply a pre-established list of preferred vendors, for whom you have no information about performance. 

The Marketplace is designed to connect you with the highest-performing retail maintenance service providers in every trade, all carefully assessed for factors like quality, speed, cost-efficiency, and more. Our retail maintenance provider scorecard removes the guesswork or bias, providing verified and current data that goes beyond subjective reviews and ratings to include actual performance and actual invoice costs.
