To survive and thrive in an era where large property management and facility management firms are consolidating suppliers and controlling a significant portion of the commercial real estate industry, smaller companies and suppliers should consider the following strategies:    

• Specialize in niche services:
• Emphasize local market knowledge
• Build strong relationships
• Embrace technology
• Offer flexibility and customization
• Form strategic partnerships
• Focus on customer service
• Develop a strong brand and online presence
• Pursue certifications and accreditations
• Stay agile and adaptable
• Offer value-added services
• Explore subcontracting opportunities

By implementing these strategies, smaller firms and suppliers can carve out their place in the market and continue to thrive despite the consolidation trend in the commercial real estate industry.
