Joblogic secures over £100 million to support AI development and European growth

Joblogic, a Birmingham-based provider of field service management software, has received a strategic growth investment from Vista Equity Partners, a global investment firm focused on enterprise software.

The investment includes over £100 million in new primary capital. According to Joblogic, this funding will be used to accelerate its AI-first roadmap and support the company’s planned expansion into Europe. The roadmap is designed to deliver intelligent, trade-specific automation across every stage of the job lifecycle, supporting contractors and facilities managers in improving efficiency and performance.

Joblogic’s cloud-based platform is currently used by over 100,000 users across a range of skilled trades including HVAC, plumbing, electrical maintenance, facilities management and building fabric maintenance. The software helps users manage operations from CRM and scheduling to asset management, invoicing, compliance, vehicle tracking and reporting.

Among its customers, firms such as Parr FM have seen measurable improvements, including a reduction in invoicing time from 15 minutes to one minute per job. Lorne Stewart Facilities Services has used the platform to support revenue growth from £50 million to £75 million.

“This partnership marks an exciting milestone for Joblogic,” said Jim Whatmore, Co-Founder and CEO of Joblogic. “Our goal has always been to simplify the complex reality of field service work to help our customers achieve efficiency and growth, and with Vista’s support we’re better positioned than ever to deliver on that. We’re continuing to invest in our market-leading AI solutions to bring real intelligence to the job lifecycle, and we’re energised by the opportunity to move faster and serve our customers even more effectively.”

The announcement follows Joblogic’s recent acquisitions of Clik Software (2024) and Protean Software (2023), as the company has continued to launch new features aimed at helping clients make faster, more informed decisions while minimising operational risks.

Commenting on the investment, Martin Taylor, Co-Head of Vista’s Foundation Fund and Senior Managing Director, said:
“Joblogic’s modern and mission-critical software solutions provide an all-in-one platform for commercial contractors to manage their businesses, assets and operations with precision, confidence and control.”

Ryan Atlas, Managing Director at Vista, added:
“With strong customer advocacy and a pioneering focus on AI and automation, we believe Joblogic is well positioned to continue its impressive momentum and continue delivering the innovation and outcomes this rapidly digitalising market demands.”

Vista’s investment comes from its Foundation strategy, which focuses on middle-market software businesses. The strategy involves working with management teams to drive operational improvement and support growth through tailored value creation initiatives.

The investment process was led by Joblogic’s management team, including Jim Whatmore (CEO) and Jamie Sones (CFO).
