ServiceChannel is a maintenance and facilities operations platform tailored for enterprise businesses with extensive geographic footprints. It is particularly well-suited to industries like retail, where large networks of sites require both planned and ad hoc maintenance. A standout feature of ServiceChannel is its contractor portal, which includes a marketplace for sourcing quotes and identifying the right service providers. Contractors can manage their entire workflow—quoting, completing work, and documentation—within the platform, ensuring everything is centralised in one space. Additionally, the platform offers benchmarking tools to help organisations select contractors based on performance and maintain high-quality service standards.

Given that many of its customers operate public-facing businesses, compliance is a critical focus. However, due to the scale and complexity of operations typically managed by ServiceChannel, implementation can take longer than average to ensure the system is fully optimised for expansive enterprises.

"We've got technician effectiveness, which includes first time fix, now in the region of 65% to 72%. That now means that I've got technicians doing the work that the business wants them to do, and we're actually getting through the right work and spending the money in the right areas. So as a management tool, it is absolutely superb."
