EDMONTON, AB and VANCOUVER, BC ? February 22, 2012 ? Jobber, the innovation leader in SaaS based business management software for the field service industries, announced today that it has raised a seed financing round. The investment is led by veteran tech investors Boris Wertz of w media ventures in Vancouver, B.C., and Point Nine Capital in Berlin, Germany. Vik Khanna and Pankaj Agarwal, tech entrepreneurs in Vancouver, B.C. also participated in the round.
Jobber allows field service businesses such as landscapers, painters and contract cleaners to easily manage their businesses from any web browser. The product offers CRM, task and calendar management, job tracking, crew scheduling, automated quoting, invoicing, time tracking, QuickBooks integration and more.
?The move towards SaaS is inevitable, but until recently most field service businesses have been stuck using old desktop software or even pen and paper to manage their businesses,? said Christoph Janz, founder and Managing Partner of Point Nine Capital. ?With Jobber, business owners are finally getting a better solution. We think Jobber has the potential to establish itself as the clear market leader in this sector and we?re very excited to be on board.?
Gartner research reports that less than 25% of field service companies utilize software in management of their businesses. ?Low penetration rates present a great opportunity to capitalize on the intersection of accelerated technology uptake and increased competitive pressure in these markets,? said Jobber Co-Founder and President Sam Pillar. ?We provide field service business owners with a powerful modernization tool that is enabling growth and providing a competitive advantage. We?re making our customers happier business owners.?
Jobber will use this funding to expand its team, aggressively develop additional features and functionality, and to continue improving the user experience. The company sees the investment enabling a continued focus on the customer, ensuring that usability and flexibility remain top priorities.
