The story

Xplor Technologies was created in 2021 by merging Advent International portfolio companies TSG (vertical SaaS for fitness, education, personal services) and Clearent/Xplor Pay (US payment processor). The strategic thesis is vertical SaaS + embedded payments across 'everyday life' verticals — fitness/wellness, field services (FieldEdge, Service Autopilot), education, parks & rec, and personal services. Since 2023 the company has been layering embedded financial products on top of its payments base — launching Xplor Capital in 2024 (powered by Parafin) and then opening that lending rail to third-party SaaS partners in 2025, positioning Xplor Pay as a payments-and-capital infrastructure provider to other ISVs.
