Case Abstract[pic 2]

Managed by Q is an on-demand service provider based in the USA which currently available in three business district – New York, Chicago and San Francisco having high customer satisfaction. In July 2015, Dan Teran – Cofounder & CEO started its operation alongside Saman Rahmanian who overlooks the operations and maintenance.

‘Managed by Q’ as an on-demand company has to deal with rival companies like ABM Industries, ServiceMaster Clean and Jani-King International since the janitorial service industry in the USA is highly fragmented where the barrier to entry is low.

Q’s target customers are corporate houses who take services of Cleaning, Office Maintenance, and Office Supplies from Q. Q managed to differentiate itself by ‘fully transparent service’ to its valued customer and prioritize the quality of work.

Q employees are called ‘Operators’ who get paid good remuneration than market standard, flexible work hour, in-house training, bonus and smooth career growth which have a positive impact on employee turnover and customer retention.
