From AI-powered field tools to a 1,000-location rebrand in a single year, Vixxo earned the industry’s highest honor.

Vixxo Facility Solutions was named the 2026 ConnexFM Supplier of the Year after receiving multiple client nominations telling a consistent story of partnership. “Vixxo exemplifies what this award is all about, a supplier that raises the bar for the entire industry,” says Bill Yanek, CEO of ConnexFM. “Their commitment to innovation, accountability, and execution is exactly the kind of excellence we are proud to recognize.”

That recognition reflects real results in the field. Each nomination described the same experience: a partner that shows up, solves problems, and improves every year. For Extra Space Storage, that meant the largest rebrand in company history. “Vixxo has been a trusted partner for more than a decade,” says Kurt Gnessin, Sr. Vice President, Facilities & Construction. “Transitioning 1,000 locations in a year was no small undertaking. Vixxo managed it with precision and a focus on getting it right.”

Vixxo’s impact extends beyond client work. World FM Day is celebrated each year on the second Wednesday of May to recognize the professionals who keep buildings running. This year on May 13, Vixxo hosted an industry exchange 100 stories above Manhattan at Edge NYC, bringing together facilities leaders for candid discussions and honoring the technicians and partners behind it all.

Clients across the portfolio echo the same sentiment. “Vixxo brings responsiveness and proactive thinking that makes a real difference,” says Amy Ochoa, Sr. Director, Facilities, Tailored Brands, Inc. “They keep lines of communication open so we’re always informed and aligned.”

Underpinning these outcomes is a deliberate investment in technology. Vixxo has embedded AI across every step of the facilities management process, from intelligent dispatching and predictive maintenance to real-time invoice auditing and proactive asset management. “AI is a powerful force, but our approach is to give customers the building blocks to orchestrate their own intelligence layer,” says Derek Neighbors, Chief Technology Officer. “Human beings remain at the center of it all.”

Together, these achievements shaped a strong case for the award. “This award belongs to our clients and our team equally,” says CJ Jernigan, President, Vixxo Facility Solutions and Board Member, ConnexFM. “ConnexFM’s recognition affirms we’re setting a new standard for what a true partner looks like in the industry.”
