der's bringt


Explanation:
How about
Der Service Provider, der's bringt -
kurz und prägnant - und hoffentlich einprägsam...

(or, of course, you could also use Dienstleistungsanbieter/Anbieter, but this sounds like a telecom presentation to me, and the "cool" term would be Service Provider").

As an alternative, you could use "der was bringt", but personally, I like "der's bringt" better.

A few examples:
C plus C pfeiffer, der grosshandel, der's bringt.
