Your Own Platform
Future – The Platform Method
Installers and dealers get more work
Free leads from you, no chasing and no advertising costs.
You’re the hub. Everyone connects through you.
Your product doesn’t travel in one direction anymore – the people around it work with each other, and most importantly, with you, ensuring you and your products are never left out.
Builders and general contractors
Get the product and someone to install it, if they choose.
Architects, designers and engineers
order products from people they can trust.
Property managers and facilities maintenance
You establish a long-term relationship for years to come, becoming a preferred vendor.
Today, everything is built around Your Product
The construction industry relies on many key roles – from architects to property managers – but outdated practices create communication barriers that prevent effective collaboration.
That’s not a supply chain. That’s a whole society, organized around your product – and you’re not in it.
A contractor installs it.
Trained by whoever trained them.
A homeowner lives with it.
For twenty years – never knowing your name.
A distributor sells it.
At a price you didn’t set.
A property manager takes over.
And reorders whatever’s easiest to reorder.
A builder orders it.
Through that distributor – the builder never hears from you.
Architects, designers and engineers
order products from people they can trust.
An architect specifies it.
Using a spec sheet that may be two versions old.
You’re not the centre. You’re not even a citizen.
One isolated company. The product holding everyone together.
Twenty-five years of proof
We pioneered this space and worked with the largest manufacturing and retail brands since 2001.
For twenty-five years, our team has built and operated service business models for major retailers and manufacturers, helping them unlock new growth in the home improvement industry by strengthening customer relationships, increasing brand visibility, and creating long-term business strategies. We were behind all the top five retailers and their manufacturers in helping them to expand their services businesses, which generated over $10 billion in additional combined revenue.
We can show you what we did and how we helped them – book a call with us here.
Frequently asked questions
The thoughts in your head, answered – including the three from the top of this page.
“Is this a social platform?”
No. A social platform connects people socially and for entertainment. An industry platform connects people to get work done more efficiently and generate more sales — and it becomes more valuable when it helps the others on it win.
“Do we need The Service Method first?”
It’s the foundation. You start with homeowners and your authorized contractors — the base you may already know from The Service Method — and then everyone else comes on with The Platform Method.
“Who’s responsible when something goes wrong?”
Whoever was paid to do it. A product problem is yours — your brand, your warranty, your promise. An install problem belongs to the installer or dealer. Every job is tracked where everyone can see it, so there’s no confusion.
“Who is on the platform?”
Everyone who works with your product. Your installers and dealers, builders and general contractors, architects, designers and engineers, property managers, realtors and facilities teams — and the homeowners at the end of it. Anyone who works with your product can join.
“Who sets the rules?”
You do. The platform runs on your rules: you set the standards, the certifications, the pricing and the terms. That’s what keeps trust alive.
