About TEAM Software
What We Believe
Mission
We help our customers do more and empower their people through efficiency-enhancing technology.
Vision
We will be the leading global provider of innovative technologies and expertise for companies that keep our world clean, safe and secure.
Core Values
We work together to accomplish the day-to-day and the longer-term goals through belief in three core values:
1. Keep customers first.
We challenge ourselves to begin and end each day with a customer-focused action. As people-centric people, we’re committed to developing long-term relationships and excellent customer experiences. We listen closely to customer needs to deliver solutions that increase compliance, efficiency and profit. After all, our customers’ success is our success.
2. Be accountable.
We hold each other accountable to do what we say we’re going to do. And we expect each other to “bring it” every day. We believe in offering each other our respect, honesty, collaboration and hard work. Above all, we trust each other to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.
3. Do more.
We changed the game in North America 1989 with an all-in-one financial, operations and workforce management solution. We did it again in 2001, offering software as a service before “the cloud” was common. As we extend our reach to Australia, Europe and beyond with our next-generation workforce management solution, we’re pushing our legacy forward with a relentless pursuit to define what’s next.
Our Legacy
In the early 1980s, an Omaha, Nebraska, cleaning and security company was hunting for integrated business management software to help organize operations, streamline accounting processes and provide profitability insight. A solution like that didn’t exist, so the company put together a small team to build one. A few years later, they had a prototype, a unique solution with financial, operations and workforce management data in one system of record that could deliver site-level profitability information. It quickly proved to be a difference-maker in the U.S. and Canada, and in 1989, TEAM Software was incorporated. For more than 30 years, TEAM has continued to provide industry-shaping technology for security and cleaning contractors in North America.
After being employee-owned for more than 10 years, in 2018, TEAM received a strategic investment from Accel-KKR, a technology-focused private equity firm. Since then, TEAM has expanded its footprint globally and domestically, acquiring Australia-based Lighthouse, U.K.-based Innovise, and Kwantek out of Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A. These acquisitions make TEAM Software the largest provider of software for security, cleaning and facilities management organizations on the planet.
