“Can a 45-year-old field service software company for HVAC contractors monetize its installed base through embedded payments and lending under the Xplor umbrella?”
Founded in 1980 as dESCO, FieldEdge invented field service management software for HVAC contractors. In 2018 Advent International acquired FieldEdge and merged it with payments processor Clearent, then combined the group under the Xplor Technologies umbrella. Today FieldEdge operates as 'FieldEdge by Xplor' — a vertical SaaS platform for home service contractors (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) with embedded payments (FieldEdge Payments powered by Xplor Pay, formerly Clearent) and embedded capital (Xplor Capital) supplied by its parent.
FieldEdge's lending and capital products are provided by Xplor Capital.
FieldEdge integrates with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and Intacct.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in FieldEdge's stack: Payments / PSP (Xplor Pay and Clearent); Lending (Xplor Capital and Xplor Capital pre-approved offers (financing based on FieldEdge platform sales data)); Accounting (QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and Intacct).
FieldEdge is founded in 1980 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
FieldEdge's acquisitions include Coolfront (2018).
