ServiceChannel and Evalystar work at different layers
Keep ServiceChannel for work orders, sourcing, and maintenance operations. Add Evalystar for vendor accountability: your team scores every completed job, and the evidence is ready at renewal.
ServiceChannel is a comprehensive CMMS and facilities management platform with work-order automation, preventive maintenance, asset management, provider sourcing, and advanced analytics. It is enterprise-grade and built for national retail chains and large FM firms.
Evalystar is the accountability layer for your external service vendors. Your team rates every completed job in seconds, and vendors never need to log in. It tracks performance patterns across sites and builds the evidence trail for contract renewals. It does not manage work orders or maintenance assets.
Why teams run both
ServiceChannel closes the work-order loop; Evalystar answers the question it leaves open: is this vendor still worth the contract? Jobs completed in your CMMS can flow into Evalystar via our API, and each completed job triggers an evaluation request to the person who saw the work. The operational record lives in ServiceChannel, the performance evidence lives in Evalystar.

When Evalystar is enough on its own
If you are not running an enterprise CMMS and mainly need to hold external vendors accountable, Evalystar alone covers that: job tracking, evaluations, incidents, contracts, and renewal evidence, self-serve and without an implementation project.
