Searching for Providers by Trade, Provider Name, and Region
When you want to find a provider for specific trades in needed regions, start the provider search process by entering the desired trade and the required search area in the Search fields. For example, the Plumbing trade in New York Mills, Minnesota, United States.
Should you need to find an exact company to perform facility services, you can start typing the provider’s company name in the first Search field.
You can use Provider Search in multiple ways to ensure your target goal of finding the right providers has been reached.
| Goal | Best Way to Start |
|---|---|
| There is no provider to replace with Network Opportunities and I want to explore high-performing providers for future projects. | Use the first two Discovery cards to view the best providers in their industry.
|
| I want to expand my coverage to ensure all my locations have providers for repair and maintenance services. | Use the third Discovery card to explore providers for specific areas with fewer than 3 providers assigned.
You can also use the cards below the Coverage Map to view the list of providers for a specific trade and location.
|
| I want to know if I need to replace any of my In-Network providers with better-performing ones for potential cost savings. | Identify underperforming providers from your Private Network and see how you can improve your Network with better-performing providers.
|
You may see the Discovery cards and Coverage Map instead of Network Opportunities. It may happen because of the following reasons:
- Your user has Power User or/and Provider Assignment Editor secondary roles to be able to view Network Opportunities.
- Your current providers do not meet the requirements for provider analysis.
- There are no opportunity providers yet to replace old providers. Check if there are opportunities next month.
