With the right approach, managed service providers (MSPs) can capitalize on <\/span><a href=\"\/insights\/low-voltage-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">opportunities in low-voltage work<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most MSPs outsource low-voltage cabling because it\u2019s time-consuming and specialized. Additionally, the work has to be neat and orderly, which makes cabling more art than science.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why should MSPs consider on-demand labor for low-voltage cabling rather than vendors or subcontractors? Here are four compelling reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<a name=\"1-on-demand-labor-gives-msps-more-control\" class=\"fldn-table-of-contents-anchor\"><\/a><h2 id=\"1-on-demand-labor-gives-msps-more-control\"><strong>1. On-demand labor gives MSPs more control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When MSPs use vendors, they often don\u2019t have control over the technician selection process. But sourcing individual subcontractors can be a significant administrative burden. Plus, it can be difficult to have enough oversight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, using on-demand labor through platforms like Field Nation gives companies more control over the quality of delivery. On-demand labor platforms enable MSPs to vet technicians based on criteria such as required skills, experience, background checks and drug screenings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<a name=\"2-full-time-employees-should-be-used-for-other-work\" class=\"fldn-table-of-contents-anchor\"><\/a><h2 id=\"2-full-time-employees-should-be-used-for-other-work\"><strong>2. Full-time employees should be used for other work<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-voltage cabling isn\u2019t technically complex but is very time-consuming. That\u2019s why MSPs should use their employees for higher-value work and more strategic projects. Another option is to use full-time employees to lead other technicians on large low-voltage projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<a name=\"3-multiple-technicians-are-often-required\" class=\"fldn-table-of-contents-anchor\"><\/a><h2 id=\"3-multiple-technicians-are-often-required\"><strong>3. Multiple technicians are often required<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low voltage projects typically need many technicians, especially in new construction. MSPs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may not have that many workers to spare. By using on-demand labor, MSPs can access the resources they need without adding full-time staff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<a name=\"4-the-work-requires-a-lot-of-consumables\" class=\"fldn-table-of-contents-anchor\"><\/a><h2 id=\"4-the-work-requires-a-lot-of-consumables\"><strong>4. The work requires a lot of consumables<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cabling is often the largest consumables expense in a field service project. With on-demand labor, MSPs don\u2019t need to carry inventory and instead rely on technicians to provide the necessary cables.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Looking for experienced low-voltage technicians?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Field Nation on-demand techs have expertise across industries and building types. <\/span><a href=\"\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for a free consultation if you need support for upcoming low-voltage work.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly every field service project requires low-voltage cabling.
