# uSource Technologies > uSource Technologies operates two distinct software platforms for the property and maintenance services industry in the United States, primarily focusing on the Houston Metro Area. uSource Hub connects residential clients with verified service professionals through a multi-platform application accessible on mobile devices and desktop computers, while uSource Enterprise provides standalone vendor management software for commercial portfolios.
