    • Full oversight of job dispatch, quality control, and performance management
    • Access to real-time service reporting, feedback, and data analytics

Where does AECSN operate?

    • We ensure coverage in urban, suburban, and rural areas, helping manufacturers maintain consistent field service regardless of geography or project scope.

Direct Contracts (Rare Cases):

If a project requires a direct agreement between the contractor and end client, AECSN will execute a separate written agreement that outlines the coordination fee due to AECSN if the contractor is paid directly. These cases are uncommon and fully documented in advance.

Who covers service-related costs?

Contractors are generally responsible for their own operational expenses:

  • Transportation, fuel, and lodging (if applicable)
  • Tools, meters, diagnostic equipment
  • Labor and team wages
  • Required PPE and safety gear

AECSN or the manufacturer may:

  • Provide or pre-ship job-specific materials or equipment
  • Reimburse pre-approved expenses after submission of receipts and approval

All cost responsibilities are defined in each project work order and must be approved in writing before reimbursement.

    • Annual license and insurance verification
    • Background checks (initial and annual where legally permitted)

You will receive project-specific branding instructions in your work order. Unless explicitly provided for, contractors are responsible for branding-related expenses (e.g., decals, patches, signage).
