Workiz, formerly SendAJob, is a San Diego–based Field Service Management platform. Its product is a SaaS field service management solution used by growing field service businesses from mid-size operators to larger multi-location companies. Its primary focus are industries such as HVAC, Plumbing, Locksmith, Appliance Repair, Electrician and Garage door technicians[1][2][3]

History

The startup was founded in 2015 by Idan Kadosh, Erez Marom, and Saar Kohanovitch. Kadosh and Marom worked as locksmiths for more than 15 years in San Diego.[4] As of 2017, more than half of field service companies relied on pen and paper to manage their businesses.[5][6] In 2018, the company raised $2.2 million in a Seed round led by Aleph Venture Capital.[7] In 2019, the company raised $5M in a Series A led by Magenta Venture Partners.[8] In 2021, the company raised $13M in a Series B led by New Era Capital Partners, with past backers Aleph, Magenta Venture Partners, Maor Investments and TMT Investments also participating in the round.[9][10]

Workiz's CEO is Adi "Didi" Azaria, who was a co-founder of Sisense, a unicorn business intelligence tech company valued at more than $1B dollar as of 2020.[11] Azaria joined the company in 2018 as part of their seed financing round led by Aleph Venture Capital.[12] Tomer Levy joined in 2020 as the company's Chief Financial Officer.[13]

The company's main differentiator is its phone service system capabilities, which provides clients a virtual phone system and ad tracking software. It also released a voice feature powered by Amazon Alexa to promote road safety for field service workers to interact with its platform handsfree.[14] In 2019, Workiz announced their partnership with Chase Bank to allow field service professionals to use same-day payout, allowing them to bill and receive electronic payments while in the field.[15] Following COVID-19, Workiz introduced an integration with Zoom to allow home service businesses to do remote video estimates.[16] In 2021, it integrated with Gusto.[17] Later that year, Workiz also partnered with Thumbtack.[18]

In the summer of 2021, Workiz was ranked as the top Field Service Management software for small businesses by G2 for each of the following categories: Usability, Results and Relationship.[19] Workiz was also recognized by the global research and advisory firm Gartner as a "Frontrunner" for top-rated Field Service Software products in North America for 2021.[20] In 2019, Workiz was selected as both a "Facebook Playground" partner and a "Google for Startup Accelerator" partner.[21]
