  • Click the Benchmarking tab to see how your performance compares to your peers – other service providers in your specific trade and geographic area of service, working for customers in the same industry.

See where you stand on the metric contributing to each score

The Speed, Quality, Engagement and Price tabs show where your scores fall into each performance bucket, along with your scores and KPIs for each customer

  • From the Speed, Quality, Engagement and Price tabs, you can see how your scores are distributed across the Top, Average, Below Average and Bottom performance buckets. Click on any bucket to see the related customers.
  • For any given customer, you can see how you're doing on all of the individual key performance indicators (KPIs) that make up that score.
  • Click on any score in the Speed and Quality tabs to see the related work orders (or invoices in the Price tab).

See how you're trending

The "Repair KPI Trends" tabs for Speed, Quality, Price and Engagement show how your score and contributing KPIs are changing over time.

  • Click the "Repair KPI Trends" tab to see where you stand now on a specific score and on each contributing KPI, and how these metrics are changing over the timeframe you specify.
  • By default, you see these metrics as an average over all your customers. Filter to see the metrics for a specific customer or group of customers.
  • Click on any point in the timeline in the Speed and Quality tabs to see all related work orders (or invoices for Price).

What your customers see

Your customer sees the same view for all their providers that you have for all your customers, with many of the same filters.

Shared insights for stronger partnerships

In their version of the Contractor Scorecard, your customers have the same views of data on all their providers as you have for all your customers. That means you and your customer see the same data on the work you do for them, with the same ability to drill down to the details.

Use these mutually shared insights to strengthen your partnership and make your regular performance reviews more productive. Armed with the same data, you can take a proactive role in resolving differences in your perspectives and focus on improvements

you

can make, as well as improvements

your customer

can make to help you do your best work.

For example, in drilling down on your below average scores and KPIs for Price, you might both see that the invoices driving that low score are mostly emergency work orders. This insight may help your customer balance your price score with the realization that you reliably deliver exceptionally fast, high-quality work for those critical situations where they need it most. Or they may recognize that both parties would benefit from a reasonable adjustment to how they assign work order priority.

FAQs

FAQs

How are scores calculated?

ServiceChannel calculates provider performance scores for Speed, Quality, Price and Engagement using more than 25 objective key performance indicators (KPIs) based on actual work order data. The exact formulas used to calculate each score are proprietary and evolve over time based on data from millions of work orders for thousands of customer locations. The scores fall into one of four "quartiles" compared to the average scores of other providers on ServiceChannel: Top, Average, Below Average, and Bottom. The threshold scores that define the quartiles are based on current market conditions and differ for each score. For more details on how scoring works, including the specific KPIs that go into each score and the current threshold scores that define each quartile, see
