Explanation:
I admit I've never heard the term before, but it certainly feels like a cleverly French portmanteau neologism on "service" and "logiciels" -- a turn of phrase that's desperately lacking in the English. You might recognize from the context something in the nature of a scaled-down ERP aimed at helping small businesses optimize service delivery (quotations, invoices, spare parts, warranty contracts, interventions...), a computer system that ties these diverse operations together -- or one that suggests how to do so (i.e. provides sales arguments for the consultant peddling the full blown system).

service (factors)


Explanation:
This seems to be a neologism allowing "service" to be used as an adjective. English doesn't have that problem, since nouns can be used a qualifiers by preposing them before other nouns.

Here are a couple of examples where English would simply use "service"

I found lots of examples of "service factors" on Google. I didn't look past the first page, but those examples used "service factors" in a similar fashion to your context. See:

serviceware


Explanation:
Think it may cover the same ground, but could be a brand name in English (ServiceWare).

The site below uses lower case, so it may be becoming generic.
