Have you ever wondered if you’re maximising your company’s efficiency? Outsourcing operational services is a key strategy that allows you to reduce costs, increase quality, and, most importantly, focus on what truly drives your business growth.
We explain how to choose the best Facility Services provider to achieve this.
What are Facility Services and what do they include?
Definition and most common areas: cleaning, maintenance, guard services, etc.
Facility Services are a set of external services that companies in different sectors contract to manage tasks that are not part of their core business.
- Cleaning: from the cleaning of offices to hospitals or residences, this service is one of the most in-demand.
- Auxiliary services: such as reception, switchboards, access control, and administrative services.
- Security and access control: in some cases, security system management is also included.
- Activity leaders: for educational institutions.
Each of these services has the main objective of freeing companies from operational burdens not directly related to their core business, allowing them to optimise resources and focus on what’s essential.
Advantages of hiring a Facility Services provider

| Greater specialisation and quality of service | Trained professionals ensure that services are performed to the highest standards. |
| Adaptability to changing needs | Suppliers quickly adapt to new demands without compromising quality. |
| Reduction of incidents and greater reliability | Outsourced services are more reliable, with established protocols that minimise problems. |
When is it a good idea to outsource general services?
Business growth
As your company grows, managing all aspects of maintenance, cleaning and security internally can become a challenge.
Outsourcing these services will allow you to remain focused on the growth and development of your business, without being distracted by operational tasks.
Difficulty covering certain areas internally
If your company lacks the resources or adequate personnel to manage specific services, such as high-quality cleaning or specialised maintenance, outsourcing them may be the most efficient solution.
Need for process control and standardisation
When companies have multiple locations or departments, outsourcing Facility Services allows for consistent quality control across all locations, ensuring that processes are standardised and the same standards are met.
Multi-site or multiple work centres
If you operate in multiple locations, a Facility Services provider with a broad-reaching geographic presence will allow you to centrally coordinate all your services, streamlining management and ensuring consistent quality.
How to choose the best Facility Services provider
Multi-sector experience and geographic coverage
When looking for a Facility Services provider, it‘s crucial that they have experience in your sector. Furthermore, geographic coverage is essential for companies with multiple locations. A provider with a domestic and international presence, like Weldon, will be able to adapt to your needs, regardless of your company‘s location.
Operational flexibility and rapid implementation
A good provider must be able to quickly adapt to the specific requirements of your business. The speed of service implementation is also crucial, especially when you need urgent solutions, or changes in operational processes.
Monitoring, quality control and reporting
Ensure that the provider offers effective monitoring and quality control systems, as well as detailed reports on service performance. This will allow you to evaluate the efficiency of the contracted services and make informed decisions.
Regulatory compliance and risk prevention
Compliance with local and international regulations, as well as the implementation of preventive measures, is essential to ensure that services are safe and aligned with industry laws and regulations.
Emergency response capacity
Finally, the provider must be able to respond quickly to any emergency. Whether it’s an urgent maintenance issue or an immediate cleaning need, an agile and efficient provider will save you a lot of headaches.
