Hear from customers who switched
“Our ResQ customer rep would conduct a quarterly business review with us. That was something that was not done by our previous provider... by looking at what everyone is paying versus us it gives us some clarity in terms of what we can do to start looking to improve. That transparency, that visibility, was something much needed.”
“Choosing ResQ was a no-brainer. Setup was quick and painless, light years ahead of Ecotrak. Our team actually enjoys using ResQ to get repairs done now.”
🙋Things You Were Afraid to Ask (But Shouldn't Be)
We don’t believe in getting in between you and your trades. ResQ’s platform is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, eliminating the need for expensive managed services that ServiceChannel charges for. Our software works right out of the box with minimal training required, and you’ll have a dedicated Customer Success Manager with 24/7 support in case you run into any issues.
Unlike ServiceChannel's outsourced support, our team becomes an extension of yours – as Terry from Hai Hospitality noted, "We know that they're basically an extension of our team and become part of our family as well." With ResQ, you get all the support you need without paying extra for managed services that primarily compensate for a more complex platform.
ServiceChannel charges trades 1.5% on invoices (up to 25% in some programs), which often get passed onto the customer. ResQ doesn't charge any fees for preferred relationships you bring onto the platform. Trades can opt-in to value added services like getting paid faster, which we charge a nominal fee for.
ResQ offers flexible pricing options with quarterly or annual terms. At the same time, ServiceChannel typically requires long-term contracts with fees that increase yearly—sometimes as much as 12x, based on customer testimonials. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden costs. This can result in significant savings, especially for growing brands.
ServiceChannel's app frequently has issues, with many complaints about lag and bugs. It's not user-friendly and requires extensive training. ResQ's software just works - it's intuitive, loved by users, and requires minimal training.
ServiceChannel's support is outsourced and can be difficult to understand. With ResQ, you'll have a dedicated Customer Success Manager who come from the hospitality industry. In addition, you'll have 24/7 support for any other issues that comes up.
Unlike ServiceChannel's rigid long-term contracts, ResQ provides flexible terms that adapt as your business evolves. Whether you're adding locations, changing your service needs, or adjusting your budget, we collaborate with you to ensure your facilities management solution scales appropriately without unexpected cost increases.
