Reflexis Implementation Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Strong end user experience, but with a slightly complicated back end" October 5, 2017 4.0 Pros Service Channel was our mode of communicating all site level service/maintenance needs for 2 years until we switched to a different service. From an end user experience, SC allowed a great deal of customization in pulling reports, had a mobile app (that actually worked even better than the parent web based app) and was very functional for daily use in regards to submitting tickets. Cons The back end of SC, however, was much more difficult to manage and integrate into a large company. We ultimately switched to software we were already utilizing for other purposes that had service ticket abilities. Review Source AD Alan D. Director Store Planning Preservation Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Louis Vuitton and Servicechannel" February 11, 2025 5.0 With just about 9 years working with Servicechannel, our overall experience has been strong and a true partnership. From the implementation to the daily use of the system, Servicechannel is the perfect tool for the stores of Louis Vuitton, our teams and our vendors to make each a luxurious environment to work and shop at. Pros Key strategic partner in keeping each of our homes of Louis Vuitton a luxurious experience. The Servicechannel team are true partners in understanding our needs and working with us on doing all as well as allowing us to stay on budget. All are professional, kind and genuine in their care for us as a client. Cons There are limited times the service can be a bit slow, but this is just me searching for a reason and not a common issue. Alternatives considered [NordVPN](https://www.capterra.com/p/166743/NordVPN/) Reason for choosing ServiceChannel References from other companies using the system. Ease of use. Ability to make it our own in both usage and internal marketing. Review Source RM Ron M. Facilities Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rolled out 300+ Retailer locations." April 4, 2015 3.0 Pros Having worked with various systems of this type at 3 different Fortune 500 companies and 2 major contractors, Service Channel is a great introductory CMMS program. It is very simplistic in its approach to creating work orders and is by far the most contractor-friendly for those with limited technical experience or back office support. The initial training support is fantastic! It is one of the most widely used systems today, most likely due to its ease of use. Therefore, there is an abundance of very qualified contractors readily available to support your needs. Once set up, the electronic payment portion is a outstanding benefit. Extremely effective and easy. I appreciate the team\\account manager dedicated to our account. They are always available and willing to help. Excellent partnership and extremely responsive. Cons Initial setup and continuing changes are a huge opportunity. The templates for uploading are antiquated and require the creation and review of 1000s of line items of data. Most other comparable systems complete the setup for you. This is not the case with Service Channel. If you have a large portfolio, be prepared to spend 100s of hours setting up. Changes are "clunky" and not intuitive. Recently, the customer interface went through an entire change with no warning or training to the customer. 2 months later and we are still trying to work through the changes. This is not an Asset Management software. If you are looking to report on individual equipment asset life, this is not the program for you. If what you need is an electronic dispatching and reporting system, Service Channel is perfect! If you have a large portfolio with multiple providers, the Preventative Maintenance Module is a huge disappointment. It's nearly impossible to correctly load the first time and even more difficult to manage and make changes and corrections. The Android and iOS apps have extremely limited functionality. Again, another huge disappointment for a company supposed to be on the cutting edge. Review Source AK Abbie K. COO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Service Channel - from the vendor" January 6, 2026 5.0 its great! they do a good job of keeping all of the information clear and easy to access and understand. Pros Service Channel is a great vendor management system! It is very easy to use and work with our customers win order to see and receive all of their work orders and address the issues they are facing. It allows us clear communication channels directly with the customer. Super helpful! Cons The cost - we have to use it in order to accept service from our customers but it ends up costing us between 7-800/month Review Source DD Darnell D. Project Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and Efficient Work Order Management" December 2, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with ServiceChannel has been positive. The platform provides a strong centralized system for managing work orders, vendors, and service tracking. It has improved organization and communication across daily operations. While some features can be slow or require more steps than necessary—especially the invitation process for adding new customers—the platform still offers significant value and makes facility management more efficient. Pros ServiceChannel excels at streamlining facility management. I like having real-time updates, organized service histories, and clear visibility into vendor performance. It reduces manual work and makes daily operations run more smoothly. Cons The most challenging part is adding new customers. Since the platform requires sending invitations rather than allowing direct setup, onboarding becomes slower and less efficient. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer National Account Manager Warehousing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review of ServiceChannel - N/A manager" December 2, 2025 4.0 I would say its essential to my work. I need it to communicate efficiently with my accounts. It also helps when you need a paper trail. You can search all WO by their ID's. Pros I like that it allows me to communicate efficiently with my customers. I use ServiceChannel to update my accounts of ETA or anything else that doesn't require direct communication via email. Cons What I like least is some of the features I'm granted access to. Sometimes when a work order needs to be closed I have to reach out to a rep to have it closed for me. - - There is an option to close the WO but there is a Closed - Approved option.

We recommend ServiceChannel to our new clients. The lions share of clients at MaintenX use the ServiceChannel platform Pros I find ServiceChannel incredibly efficient for managing a vast array of details when deploying technicians across the United States, whether they need to solve problems in remote areas or metropolitan locations. The platform ensures that technicians are capable of reaching stores promptly, diagnosing issues effectively, and communicating seamlessly with store management and our headquarters. ServiceChannel helps in managing all these transactional details smoothly. I also frequently use its work order management feature along with its capabilities to track the status of work orders, including time of arrival, completion, and when parts are due. The platform's ability to manage certificates of insurance, commercial details, banking, and invoicing information is invaluable. Additionally, ServiceChannel's performance scorecarding feature proves useful for evaluating our services with each client. I appreciate the integration with our work order management system, which, thanks to the API connection, ensures that data flows smoothly, enabling productive transactions. Having used ServiceChannel for over twenty years, I regard it as one of the pioneers of CMMS software systems for multi-site clients and continue to consider it among the best solutions available. Its reliability assures me enough to consistently recommend it to clients, friends, and colleagues, even rating it 10 out of 10. Cons There are times during peak use that the screen refresh time lags by a second or two. It is nnt a big issue but sometimes slows you down when on the phone with a client.

This is the easiest system out of all competitors systems that I have used. Pros I love that ServiceChannel is so easy to navigate. I have worked with Service Channel from the client side, internal implementation and vendor side. This is the easiest system out of all competitors systems that I have used. Cons There isnt anything that I dislike about Service Channel I have worked with Service Channel from the client side, internal implementation and vendor side.

" January 5, 2026 5.0 Extremely happy with features available and look forward to continue utilizing in the future with reccommending to others. Pros Service Channel makes is capable to engage directly with your clients and parteners with fast responses and capabilities to provide photos/ PDFs. It is extremely helpful that texhnicians are able to clock in and out of a work order with the GPS/ geofencing. Cons After hours customer service can be tricky at times, I have not had to deal with the after hours customer representatives in a while. But the technicians complain about the hospitality of the after hours REPS as well Review Source SD Sherri D. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worth the Money" January 21, 2026 4.0 Overall Service Channel is a good way to get customers and track work history and preventative maintenance schedule. Pros We can track our work orders and history of work performed. Also, a good way to communicate with your customers. Cons I don't like the waiting period in between when the work is completed and when I can bill it but that may be the way the client set it up. Also, it's hard to get my techs to do the sign in/out process. Review Source TR TAIT R. Owner Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Organization" December 1, 2025 5.0 Pros It's great at keeping our work orders organized. It also helps keep our invoicing in one place. I like being able to see exactly where my crew is and see photos of the finished product. Cons It's a very outdated system. While it gets the job done it looks like the interface hasn't changed in decades. The app is pretty finnicky and constantly crashes. Review Source JF JaMyka F. Administrative assistant Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Convenient " January 5, 2026 5.0 I am the admin so it is very useful for communicating requests and completed service orders. It is also easy to get messages to the right person through the portal Pros It is convenient for customers to communicate with us. I receive the notifications easily and can respond in a timely manner. Cons I don't have much to say about what I don't like. It is a pretty easy system to use. Sometimes the contact person come in as " caller #xxx" so it doesn't have a name. Review Source WC Wesley C. Construction lead Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "B+ easy to communicate " December 1, 2025 5.0 Overall we are happy to use it when required. Its really not too hard to use so when the do require it its fine Pros Communication with vendors was a lot easier. It was very easy to narrow down the exact scope of work Cons We just lack the customer base we havent come across enough customers whonactively use service channel Review Source AG Aaron G. Facilities Development Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Consistency and Transparency - A Very Strong System System with a Few Opportunities" December 19, 2016 4.0 I can absolutely not imagine managing our 175 restaurants well without Service Channel. Our company is comprised of several acquisitions' worth of franchisees and SC was such an important tool, helping us gain consistency in how our locations are managed. Pros Transparency and Consistency: Everything is transparent; when dispatches were created, who created them, what contractor was dispatched, when the tech was on site if there was a proposal, who approved it, when we were invoiced, who approved it, when the invoice was paid, etc. How one location is managed is how all locations are managed. Accountability at all levels, for all things: There's never any doubt about what happened when it happened. Proposal Approvals: Our initial big win with Service Channel was its proposal approval process. Prior to Service Channel, our system of proposal approvals amounted to an excel spreadsheet and a chain of emails that was very hard to manage and impossible to track. Now it clear and consistent and easy to review. Asset Tracking: We have heavily used the asset tracking abilities of Service Channel for the past 2 years. It's now coming to fruition the results of our effort, having the ability to look at any given piece of equipment and see its make/model/serial information and know how many repairs were made over the past year so we can make the best decisions on whether to repair or replace it. Preventative Maintenance: We have ultimate consistency in our PM program knowing when dispatches go out, who they go to, and exactly what the scope of work is that we send. Flexibility: The system is incredibly flexible, not a one size fits all system at all. You can be as creative as possible in its use, tailoring it to your organization's specific needs. Contractor Compliance: Service Channel has helped our accounting team gain consistency in knowing when certificates of insurance are out of date System Reporting: It's incredibly powerful. What do you want to know-- average invoice amounts per trade? what contractor are performing well? what are your top 10 most frequently repaired assets? You name it-- you can report on it. Fluid Accounting Processes: Invoices flow from SC into our Accounting software (with integration) after approval from the field. SC has helped keep our accounting department lean and mean. SC is a widely used, well-developed system -- one of the biggest and best. They're constantly improving. Cons Contractor Engagement: Ultimately contractors have to choose to engage and participate in Service Channel and smaller contractors can offer a challenge in their participation. I feel like, if there was one thing I'd improve about the system, I wish it was easier for the contractors to work through their onboarding. The better the contractor experience, the easier for them to navigate, the more contractors that will want to work inside of the system. Without contractor buy-in, the system loses its power. Pay per feature: While SC does have a very strong base feature set, to upgrade and use certain other features, will cost an additional, small, per-site fee. You will run into little programming flaws from time to time and have to report them when they pop up, for correction. Because of the volume of clients that SC has and the fact they have to prioritize improvements, sometimes it takes longer for the correction than one might like. Review Source FL Fred L. Director of Facilities Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent System" August 28, 2020 4.0 Overall I am very happy with the system and software. The ease of use and the amount of data available is probably the best part of the system. Data is so valuable! Pros The ease of editing vendors within trades is one of the best functions to use in the business. Pulling reports and the use of analytics is great! Real time data and ease of communicating within our users is one of my favorite feature. I wish they had an AP to match the website. Still a little behind the times in the mobile AP end of this system. Cons The only part of the software I wish could be upgraded is the AP software. Still very limited and behind the times. Reason for choosing ServiceChannel I wasn't in my current position when the current contract was signed, however I would have signed the contract if I were. Back then Service Channel was head and shoulders above any other system on the market. Some competitors have made great strides in catching up with the technology Service Channel already has.

Sending invoices to clients for payment. Pros Easy to use software with clean organization. Straight forward invoicing process with clear communications between client and vendor. Cons I did not experience any difficulty with ServiceChannel.

August 28, 2020 5.0 Pros The analytics and reporting are a wonderful tool. Regular upgrades to the platform continuously make a great product even better. Cons Getting all end users to begin working in the system was challenging, but I that is not unique to ServiceChannel. Review Source SB Steeley B. Sr.Manager, Operations Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use and Track" September 2, 2020 5.0 able to pinpoint problem areas. Pros Managing each locations tickets and status is a breeze. Reviewing invoices and proposals all in one place. The customer service and support I find is really efficient and helpful. Cons I find it clunky it clunky to customize our dropdowns menus for the end users to submit tickets. I may just not be as computer savvy, but that is where the customer service comes in handy and are able to assist. Review Source JA JaVon A. General Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ServiceChannel - JA" January 19, 2019 5.0 I have used ServiceChannel for over 5+ years and I am very happy with the capabilities of the service. Pros ServiceChannel makes it easy to view open and completed work orders to keep track with company spending and helps hold accountability to vendors that service our restaurant. Cons ServiceChannel could improve the interface of its app to mirror the browser site. Review Source TD Trish D. Facilities Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly" March 24, 2017 5.0 Over the past 7 years I've been with Tumi, Service Channel has expanded and refined the website and functionality within. On the front end it is a fool proof, easy to use site that requires little to no skill...there is value in that alone, especially when there are all levels of staff using the system. We have also recently expanded Service Channels use within our company with much success. From a managerial standpoint it has been a tool I could not do without. Pros Ease of use for the facilities team and for the store team. Cons I don't care for the new invoice layout. Review Source BM Bryn M. Facilities Mgr Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software, features, and network!" March 27, 2017 5.0 Service channel is fantastic. One of the most stand out features to me has been working directly with their programming team to both suggest improvements and custom spec files so the system works well with our other in house systems. They've got the best reporting capabilities of any similar platform I have seen and a huge network of vendors. They have helped is lower our overall r and m costs as a company. Pros Ease of use. Reporting. Cons Lack of easy access to advanced training for people within our organization without much coordination. Review Source İEY İbrahim Enes Y.

Facilities Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product" May 9, 2018 5.0 Pros Big Sky is highly configurable and it is easy to add custom features. We were able to replicate a store facilities quality scorecard, eliminating the need for bulky hard copies. Cons This platform is being phased out in favor of another platform. The replacement platform is also very powerful, though somewhat less configurable. Review Source JP Joshua P. Purchasing Analyist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy experience for stores" March 24, 2017 5.0 What we like most about the system is how easy it is for the stores to use and submit issues. It is important since there are often a lot of employees and not all of them can be trained specifically. Pros Easy to use once it is set up. Cons Changes to issue lists, trades, and providers can be confusing for someone that does not need to make updates regularly. Review Source TL Tony L. Facilities Supervisor Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid Facilities Maintenance management software solution" April 1, 2015 4.0 Pros The product itself is relatively intuitive and a quick learn. If you're not sure how to do something, figuring it out is usually not too difficult. The reporting capabilities are great. I use a variety of reports out of this system on a regular basis to keep tabs on tickets for over 850 locations. Service Channel is responsive, and in my experience a great partner. Cons Service Channel is not exactly very customizable. Scorecarding, for instance, relies on certain metrics that can't be adjusted or changed for specific trades. I'd also like to see the ability to flag a location to be able to alert an individual when the next plumbing or the next electrical ticket is entered. This would be ideal for locations that carry warranties or locations with specific repeat issues. Review Source Similar Products Featured
