“Can a lawn-care and field-service SaaS become the operating and financial stack for home-service SMBs by monetizing embedded payments and capital under the Xplor umbrella?”
Service Autopilot began in 2009 as a Texas-based vertical SaaS for lawn care and field service SMBs. It was folded into Xplor Technologies (parent legal entity BACKTELL LLC) and re-platformed onto Xplor Pay (formerly Clearent) for embedded payments and Xplor Capital for embedded lending. It now operates as a distribution channel for Xplor's payments, capital, and Stripe Connect infrastructure to home service businesses.
Service Autopilot processes payments through Xplor Pay, Stripe Connect and Payroc.
Service Autopilot's lending and capital products are provided by Xplor Capital and OPTIMUS.
Service Autopilot integrates with QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in Service Autopilot's stack: Payments / PSP (Xplor Pay, Stripe Connect and Payroc); Lending (Xplor Capital, OPTIMUS, Xplor Capital pre-approved merchant financing (fixed capital fee, no interest) and OPTIMUS consumer home services financing (soft credit pull, ~90% approval)); Accounting (QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop).
Service Autopilot is founded in 2009 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
