Relationships First
A good long-term relationship can be more valuable than a single transaction.
There are many capable independent service providers across Canada. The hard part is the matching.
Customers repeatedly have to determine:
Who should I call?
Who is suitable?
Who is available?
Where do I start?
At the same time, good service providers repeatedly spend time and money finding customers and demonstrating that they are reliable.
SOFF Service Hub is being built to make those relationships easier.
A good long-term relationship can be more valuable than a single transaction.
SOFF helps customers make connections; we do not want to remove their ability to choose.
Independent providers remain independent businesses.
SOFF should earn when it genuinely adds value.
Every service request helps us learn how the network can work better.
Where SOFF coordinates or delivers a service directly, that role is explained before proceeding.
