Who does what

Three clear roles. One accountable service operation.

The operating partner sits between the marketplace and the field team, with direct control over accepted work.

Marketplace and infrastructure

HereKey

  • Attracts customers and receives service requests
  • Routes eligible opportunities by area and category
  • Provides HereControl Operations
  • Processes marketplace payments
  • Provides platform and customer-workflow support

Local business operator

Operating Partner

  • Owns and manages the service business
  • Reviews, quotes, schedules, and accepts jobs
  • Selects, onboards, and manages workers
  • Maintains licenses, insurance, equipment, and supplies
  • Controls service quality and customer experience

Service professionals

Workers

  • Apply through HereKey for available service categories
  • Are reviewed and onboarded by the operating partner
  • Receive schedules and assignments from the partner
  • Perform work under the partner's management
  • Follow the partner's quality and service requirements
Workers apply through HereKey, but the operating partner decides who joins its team and remains responsible for onboarding, scheduling, supervision, service quality, legal compliance, insurance, equipment, and supplies.

HereControl Operations

Business reporting

Growth roadmap

Start with a strong operation. Grow with capacity and performance.

The partnership develops in practical stages, without changing who owns or manages your business.

PHASE 01

PHASE 02

Launch the operation

Begin reviewing eligible opportunities, quoting work, scheduling customers, and assigning workers.

PHASE 03

Grow with performance

Increase capacity, strengthen service quality, and expand eligible categories or areas when there is a fit.

Your business stays yours

You retain your company, brand, existing customers, workers, and internal decisions.

Marketplace economics

HereKey receives an agreed portion of completed jobs generated and processed through the marketplace.

Growth is earned

Opportunity volume and expansion depend on demand, category, area, capacity, availability, and performance.
