Zuper – a leading solutions provider to scale and modernize fast-growing businesses with field operations – recently announced it closed a $32 million Series B funding round led by FUSE and participation from Prime Ventures and other existing partners. This investment follows an 8X growth in the past couple of years, fueled by outsized demand for Zuper’s platform that empowers businesses with field operations to automate workflows, enable workforce collaboration, and deliver their customers with the best possible experience.
The global field service management (FSM) industry has undergone a significant transformation with continued strong consumer demand, higher customer expectations, intense competition, new technologies, and major shifts in workforce skills and demographics. And a growing variety of organizations rely on field operations in the on-demand economy. This includes everything from residential services and facility & property management to solar energy and electric vehicle infrastructure maintenance. Plus, all of these companies across industries have a critical need for software that enables them to modernize and grow their business.
The Series B funding round will help the company reach the next level of growth by expanding its footprint and providing our solution to the most innovative service businesses globally.
The FSM market is considered mature, with many solutions that solely target specific types and sizes of service organizations. And in many cases, these solutions only focus on back-office management or tracking field workers. Zuper fills this market gap with a solution designed for a wide range of service businesses that address the entire value chain, including operational efficiency, employee productivity, customer experience, and top-line growth.
The Series B funding round brings the total raised to $46.1 million. And with the funding round, Zuper will focus on scaling growth globally and bringing innovative solutions to market, including Zuper’s Intelligent Virtual Assistant (ZIVA), the industry’s first generative-AI-powered chatbot for field service operations. And the company is expanding upmarket and serving both the mid-market and the larger customers across multiple industries like Manufacturing, Renewable Energy, Facility and Property Maintenance, and Residential Services. Zuper has grown its headcount by 3X in 2023 and plans to continue hiring aggressively next year.
