See where you stand and how your service compares

Based on millions of work orders for thousands of customer locations, ServiceChannel evaluates provider performance in the four traits facilities managers care about most: Speed, Quality, Price, and Engagement.

ServiceChannel calculates these scores using more than 25 objective key performance indicators (KPIs) based on actual work order data. Each individual score for Speed, Quality, Price and Engagement is calculated based on a weighted average of its contributing KPIs.

Your resulting scores fall into one of four "quartiles" compared to the average scores of other providers on ServiceChannel:

Top, Average, Below Average, and Bottom

. How these quartiles are defined differs for each score and is based on current market conditions.

How the quartiles are defined with benchmarking

From the Benchmarking tab in your Contractor Scorecard 2.0, you and your customers can see how you're doing not just against the average of all providers on ServiceChannel, but in comparison to benchmarks set by other providers of your trade, in your specific geographic area of service. With benchmarking, both your scores and the thresholds defining each quartile are "dynamic" – they will vary based on filters chosen for trade, metro region, and customer industry.

The exact formulas, like the Provider Search algorithms, are proprietary, and also subject to change over time as our data indicates. Certain KPIs are generally weighted higher than others and will have a more significant impact on your scores. Those KPIs are highlighted below.
