Why uSource was created?
Alexander created uSource to provide other CEOs in the Facility Maintenance
space with the tools he wished he had when he was growing his business. As
he scaled and used multiple platforms, he noticed limitations were placed on
him and his business. The two main issues: -
Limited Visibility
“When you go from 5 employees to 200 to 500, every layer requires a
different level of visibility, control, delegation and leadership” –
Alexander Melgar. -
Difficult Adoption
uSource was created to connect 2 industries, Property Managers & Service
Providers, into one platform for Facility Maintenance Leaders, to manage
their business intuitive tools, scale profitably, and most importantly love
using it for its simplicity.“Most platforms would be so complicated I would need to have someone
specialized for this platform, tough to scale that way. Not to mention they
wanted me to be in a contract, pay a lot upfront, or buy brackets regardless
if I used them or not. That wasn’t profitable or scaleable for us” –
Alexander Melgar.He knew the difference between successful and unsuccessful businesses was
access to information, strategic decisions, and time allocation. This is why
he created uSource.
