by Brianna Crandall — July 23, 2014—FMs exploring the option of outsourced services may want to research Actions Services Group, a national lighting maintenance, sign maintenance and electrical services company that just announced an agreement with Stage Stores, a department store specializing in mostly clothing, accessories and footwear, for interior lighting maintenance and electrical services for three of its retail brands. These include Bealls, Goody’s and Peebles, with store locations across the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
The on-demand lighting services provided by Action Services Group include handling all interior lighting maintenance and electrical services. The services include a ballast replacement program involving the capturing of individual store lighting asset data and inventorying of lighting components, via Action Services Group’s enterprise management system, ServicePoint Solutions. The ballast replacement program is designed to eliminate store management’s time in supervising inventory as well as to reduce return service trip charges due to previous lack of store lighting component inventory on hand at time of services.
Action Services Group provides national lighting maintenance and services, sign maintenance, and electrical services, re-lamping and light-emitting diode (LED) lighting retrofit services to retail, restaurant, grocery and convenience store chains, banking, educational and healthcare institutions, and building operators across the United States and Canada. Using a unique data-driven service approach implemented through its advanced enterprise management system, ServicePoint Solutions, Action Services Group reportedly reduces customer maintenance costs while increasing service performance.
