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 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 KW Kendraya W. Service Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Service Channel is a contractors dream" April 23, 2026 5.0 The overall experience with ServiceChannel has been great. I would definitely recommend it to other companies. Pros The follow up and it is user friendly. Easy to navigate, update, invoice, and collect payment. I would totally recommend Service Channel to other customers. Work orders are easy to accept, update, and invoice. Cons I think my only complaint about service channel is nothing. I think it is great. I haven't experienced any issues. Review Source FS Fred S. Owner Environmental Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worst software ever. Avoid at all costs and you will lose suppliers." March 10, 2025 1.0 Nightmare, we left the client and we left with unpaid invoices. Screw it, big loss. If a client uses that service, I am not touching it. Pros Worst ever for suppliers. We are leaving a client because that software is such a nightmare. Keep your money, we'll service others. Cons User completely UNFRIENDLY, complicated, illogical, designed by PC people, zero empathy, focused on doing a million non-necessary things and the basic stuff is so unaccessible. If you are not a PC expert or IT consultant and you are a regular business owner, this will be a nightmare for you. Avoid clients who push you into this. Review Source Response from ServiceChannel March 25, 2025 Dear Fred, We appreciate your feedback on ServiceChannel. We are truly sorry for the frustration you experienced. Our Support Team is always available to help you navigate the software and clarify any questions you may have about invoicing and receiving payment. We welcome the opportunity to help.

Client Relations Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best platform for Luxury Retail clients" February 23, 2026 5.0 Positive experience over the past 15 years. Platform is good for communication, scheduling, and invoicing. Pros It is widely used by many of our clients enabling us to manage many work orders from different clients efficiently. Cons The dashboard does not work for our services because most of our services span multiple days so we get points off for not completing the same day. 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. Review Source WS William S. VP Business Development Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ServiceChannel, the King of CMMS" November 17, 2025 5.0 Extremely positive. 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. 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 MP Melody P. Account Specialist Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A GREAT Platform" March 2, 2026 5.0 I have been using Service Channel for 11 years now and I have no complaints! It helps keep track of our work orders and allows us to communicate with clients directly in the ticket. Pros It is easy to navigate and has many features that my company uses. Our techs appreciate the ease of using the mobile check-in feature. Cons Occasionally there are glitches but using the Service Health Dashboard is simple and it gives a description of the outage and estimated restore time. Review Source MF Mindy F. Office Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use System" March 26, 2026 5.0 We enjoy the ease of use of the system. The email reminders make sure you stay on top of calls and invoicing. Pros I like that the system is simple to use and easy to navigate. The process from start to finish is seamless. We are able to receive service requests from the customer and it comes directly to our email. Our technicians sign in and out on their devices and invoicing is also able to be done through the site. Cons Our technicians sometimes having issues checking in on their iPad, but it's nothing a phone call can't fix. Review Source MCL Mari Clare L. Senior Facilities Manager, Canada Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Communication Tool" August 28, 2020 4.0 Excellent. Our account rep \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is always available to answer questions or help us with optimizing our work flow. The system has greatly increased our ability to prioritize and focus on the issues that will move the needle. Pros Keeping hundreds of work orders time stamped and name stamped. This allows for clear accountability for my team and direct communication with the store staff. All information is stored in one WO and photos/videos can be uploaded to allow for context. Managing expectations is much easier with the missed ETA alerts and I can easily see where my team needs to focus their efforts. Cons The PM module is still clunky and doesn't really fit our requirements entirely. It's limited in it's capabilities (for example: many of our locations have different frequencies and schedules for cleaning, this cannot be specified in the PM module). Alternatives considered [ServiceChannel](https://www.capterra.com/p/38574/ServiceChannel/) Reason for choosing ServiceChannel ServiceChannel showed that it was constantly evolving and increasing capabilities. It also offered additional modules that we could grow into. The price was right and the salesteam/onboarding team were fantastic. Review Source SL Sierra L. Country Facility Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent" September 14, 2020 4.0 Overall my experience is very positive. This is now the 2nd company I've used SC with and I fought to bring them on at my last one before I left - they might still be in talks. It really broadens the scope of FM and really helps drive our efficiency. Pros I think one of the things that I appreciate the most about Service Channel is it's constantly evolving. They're always rolling out something new and it's always applicable to what's happening in the industry, not stale data or updates late to solving a problem. They listen, pay attention, predict FM needs and challenges to such a degree that many times if I'm considering a new KPI/vendor communication/report data I check SC first because they've likely thought of it already. Cons Sometimes I find a few of the developments feel very US specific- at least at the outset, but the whole team is great about tweaking and editing and even rebuilding something to suit our needs. Switched from [Bluesky](https://www.capterra.com/p/155743/Bluesky/) H&M made the switch before I started so I can't speak to why they switched but I'm very happy they did! Review Source JH John H. Facilities Coordinator Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Service Channel - Definitely Recommend! " September 2, 2020 5.0 I have worked with Service channel close to 2 years now. Pros The thought that goes behind everything is top notch! the easy of use for our users is key to the success of the system. Cons I've only had one negative experience and it had to do with vendor searching which is linked to fix book, and was quickly resolved 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 VR Verified Reviewer Account Manager Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love the process " November 14, 2025 5.0 the overall experience has been very nice. T definitely recommend service channel to others. the simplicity of it make sit so worth it Pros It is very easy to work with and always helpful with any issues arise. The app allows the client and customer to navigate the system Cons The downgrade process I wish we could just update it ourselves instead of having to wait on the client to complete it. Review Source VP Vanessa P. Accounting Specialist II Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly" December 2, 2025 5.0 Pros I like how it is user friendly and easy to navigate. It helps me keep up with work orders and I am able to update the work orders as needed. Cons Lately the system has had hang ups and I will have to log out and back in. It slows down my process. Review Source CR Cosmin R. Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform!" March 4, 2026 5.0 Managing work orders its easy and makes my job smoother. The billing and features its the most that i love it Easy to work Pros It makes my job easier No Complains! ServiceChannel makes it easy for your team to deliver an outstanding customer experience! Cons No Complains! ServiceChannel makes it easy for your team to deliver an outstanding customer experience! Review Source GG Gabby G. PCC Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "MWD West Dundee POV on ServiceChannel" December 1, 2025 5.0 Pros I appreaciat the layout on ServiceChannel where finding the area necessary to be accessed when in need. Cons I can not say that there is something to dislike. The response time after submitting a ticket varies but that is sometimes expected. Review Source KW Katie W. Account Admin Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable, User Friendly, Worth it" July 2, 2018 5.0 Fast processing and excellent organization. Pros I love almost everything about SC. It starts with how easy the software is to use. I am on it daily whether it is accepting calls for billing out. In their WO Reports section you can look up all calls that have not been accepted, opened, in progress and complete. SC has an app that allows you to check into business using GPS, for some customers you may need to dial a phone number using a store phone but that is easy! I love that you can submit proposals immediately and the notes section provides a perfect spot to communicate with the customer. As a vendor, communication is key, especially when working in high energy, loud, or busy environments. Cons The only thing I don't love is when you reject a call it stays in your open section of the WO reports. I wish they would have a reject section- they may I just have not come across it. Review Source SL Sarah L. Sr. Facilities Specialist Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daily User" September 8, 2020 5.0 We love Service Channel! The personal support, the development and software have been so beneficial to creating an effective and efficient facilities team. Pros We love using this software to setup our preventative maintenance services to remove the manual entry of the work orders. We also just implemented the weather mapping and bulk work order creation that has been very valuable during this busy hurricane season. We also rely heavily on the custom analytics to provide customized reports for us to provide to ELT. Cons The only area that could use improvement is the issue list and manual time it takes to create it up front. I would like to see become more of a drop down selection with cells to add information for the individual user. Review Source KR Karen-Alexandra R. Senior Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Service Channel Review" September 9, 2020 4.0 Great customer service, really patient people there to help! Easy to keep up to date (store profiles, issue lists, gl codes, etc) Pros Accessibility to the stores so they can create their own requests. Issue list(s) can be modified easily on our end. Easy access to customer service & understanding of our issues. Cons Lack of project module (now released in 2020) Harder to use than other softwares/ not as customizable as smaller platforms. GL code triggered by proposal not WO's GL (will not update automatically) Reason for choosing ServiceChannel Easier coming from BigSky. Review Source JT Jeanne T. Facility Maintenance Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Service Channel" March 30, 2017 3.0 Service Channel makes it much easier to monitor, track and analyze our repair/maintenance requests. It keeps all the information regarding a work order in place with transparency to all concerned parties. The system allows for a cradle to grave process for work orders, from the generation of the request, through completion, invoicing and payment. The system is user friendly and keeps information, both current and historical at your fingertips. Many of the features can be self-managed, allowing for changes and updates as the department changes and grows. Pros The transparency that this software provides is one of its best features.

Cons wish we have class once a week to teach how to use the software with q &a Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Inventory Analyst Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Service Channel makes life easy " September 11, 2020 5.0 I think it's great! Pros I love how user friendly this software is! It is also very interactive, so everyone can access this & update accordingly as needed. It makes my job at the end of the day easier. Cons When items are not closed out by the vendors or the store teams don't provide updates, it is a lot of follow up on my end to close out all the work orders. It would be great of the software gave reminders directly to the vendor or store teams depending on how long the ticket has been open. Review Source AC Anthony C. Supervisor Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Service Channel" September 10, 2020 4.0 Fine. Pros The transfer from our previous software as easy. Cons Vendors cannot speak with reps without great difficulty. We cannot help vendors from our side.
