“The ConnectAD platform integrates to the work order systems our clients are using and handles all our operational workflows for how we deliver our field services. Our subcontractors have their own portals to manage work, invoices, and compliance. Our clients also have a window into our world with their own portals to initiate service requests. The entire platform is easy to use and intuitive for our subs and clients. As a result of this transformation, we’re now a data driven company.” President, National Facility Maintenance Company.

Bringing on new clients is great for business, but it also can mean a lot more administrative work for your team. And if your team is already maxed out, you may be faced with a difficult decision: Hire more people or risk burning out your staff.

Selecting a work order management platform that can be used for your subcontractor network can be challenging, with an endless maze of potential systems, options and configurations to choose from. You know you need a platform that helps your operational team increase productivity, lowers your administrative costs and delivers positive customer experiences. And—possibly most importantly—it needs to be intuitive for your in-house team and subcontractors and easy to implement. You want an “off-the-shelf” solution that adapts to your business needs and not the other way around.
