The management team at City Wide Facility Solutions understands the unique challenges and pressures that come with managing a facility: cleaning, disinfecting, restoration and even painting are all part of general upkeep. That’s why the franchise, which provides one point of contact for more than 20 janitorial and maintenance services for businesses throughout North America, offers all of its clients an annual maintenance program.
“The unique value of City Wide Facility Solutions is that we take all of the effort out of the clients’ hands,” said Troy Wayman, CEO of the brand’s Wichita, Kansas, Des Moines, Iowa, and Northwest Arkansas locations. “Our job is to save the customer time and money, and we illustrate that by taking care of all of the facility’s details.
The company’s annual maintenance program is an important part of that process, encompassing a wide range of services customized to meet the unique needs of each facility. The program allows business owners to choose and schedule services, plan maintenance activities and accurately budget for upkeep and repairs.
“Carpet and tile cleaning, window washing and scheduled painting help keep the facility in good condition,” Wayman said. “City Wide Facility Solutions schedules and takes care of all of those things so business owners don’t have to worry about the upkeep of their property.”
The brand has more than 100 franchisees who operate as general managers to independent contractors in a wide variety of services, including heating, ventilation and air, window cleaning, floor care, handyman tasks, parking lot maintenance and more. A stringent vetting process ensures that only the best local contractors are selected, and a comprehensive management system takes the hassle out of scheduling and oversight.
“We listen to what the clients have to say,” Wayman said. “People typically spend more time at work than they do at home. They want to be in a good, clean environment while they’re there and that’s exactly what we provide.”
And Wayman says for franchisees, it’s a wise business concept. The B2B model has minimal overhead, multiple recurring revenue streams, large protected territories and extensive training.
“The company offers so much support,” he concluded.
