SMS Assist Summary

At SMS Assist, we’re not just in the business of fixing properties we’re fixing an entire industry. Typically, facilities maintenance is tough work both in the nature of the job (plumbing, HVAC, snow removal) and the lack of clarity throughout the experience.

We decided a better way wasn’t only possible, but essential. Through our award-winning technology platform, built and powered by SMSers, we connect local contractors to our customers and help manage an experience that surpasses expectations.

Recognized on Forbes’ Cloud list, Deloitte’s Technology Fast , Chicago Crain’s Top Tech Employers, and more, SMS Assist manages more than , properties where people live and work.

Our customers’ livelihoods are in our hands think a restaurant manager whose only fryer goes down on a busy Friday night or a family in Florida without power after a hurricane.

We work across the industries that make up your community, including retail, food service, banking, residential, and more, and we help them find the right provider in our network (we call them Affiliates) in more than 45 trades.

We’re innovators, disruptors, and out-of-the-box thinkers. We set each other up for success in the office and for the perfect spike on the volleyball court during an intramural game.

We’re community volunteers, karaoke partners, and lifelong friends. We’re passionate about the people we serve, and we give our all because we care.

We want to make every property better, and we want your help to make it happen.
