8 Ways for Retailers to Better Manage Service Providers

Eliminate unnecessary spend and ensure high quality maintenance

Skilled trade industries are experiencing technician shortages across the board. Over 36% of job listings are still vacant due to a lack of qualified technicians. These conditions are only getting worse as a steady decrease of people enter into skilled trades.

These shortages impact industries that rely on these skilled tradespeople to keep businesses running throughout the country. In particular, these impacts can be felt in retail where it is critical to the customer experience to have every asset and service in a store running at optimal conditions, at all times. This means retailers have to be strategic when managing their service providers and contractors in order to ensure a positive customer experience at their stores and to keep maintenance and repair costs under control.
