Alder connects commercial customers seeking facility services to a wide array of vendors through a dynamic, web-based software. The Alder network includes hundreds of pre-vetted service providers across 70 different service lines in 40+ metro areas worldwide. Alder’s easy-to-use software and dedicated account management team create a seamless and simple process for facility managers to procure any scheduled or on-demand service. Alder is also dedicated to helping generate growth for local and national service providers by sourcing reliable customers and automating invoicing work to reduce administrative burden.
“High quality facility service providers don’t always have a strong marketing presence beyond word of mouth. This has made it extremely difficult for facility and office managers to find the best providers at a price point that works for both sides. Alder is a tech-forward solution to this problem – connecting customers and service providers across the U.S.,” said Isaiah Brown, Co-CEO of Orion.
“I am thrilled to work with Kendra Ponte, Alder’s longstanding operations leader, who will lead growth and development going forward. Kendra has already built an outstanding account management and support team, which provides FM expertise to our customers,” said Jacquie O’Connor, CEO of Orion FM.
“With Orion’s support, we have an opportunity to build upon our foundation and enhance Alder’s product offerings. I am delighted to continue supporting our clients and vendors alongside the Orion team,” said Kendra Ponte, General Manager.
