Announcing WEX® Field Service Management: Designed for the Trades, Supported by WEX

By: via Business Wire

New platform and mobile app combines WEX’s scale and innovation with contractor-built tools for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and more

WEX® (NYSE: WEX), the global commerce platform that simplifies the business of running a business, today announced the rebrand of Payzerware to WEX Field Service Management (WEX FSM). The enhanced software solution, designed for the trades, helps contractors save time, cut costs, and scale with confidence by consolidating operations into an all-in-one simple solution. Existing Payzerware customers now gain the reliability of a global leader combined with purpose-built tools, integrations, and specialized partners that make it easier to manage their operations.

WEX FSM, which already serves more than 35,000 contractors, provides access to critical tools needed to run their business every day. In addition to core features like scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, and payments, WEX FSM now brings the value of the WEX Fleet Card, includes Advanced Reporting, and gives access to GoodLeap's flexible financing options and Enhanced Pricebooks, powered by Pricebook Digital™, within the new WEX FSM mobile app. These options will be built into the process, giving contractors more flexibility, making it easier to close deals in the field.

The new WEX FSM app, which includes all the features of the existing platform, will also be available on September 18. WEX FSM also includes access to dedicated support teams, providing knowledgeable and responsive service, backed by 40 years of WEX industry expertise.

“Contractors don’t need generic software, they need tools designed for the way they actually work,” said Dylan Jones, senior vice president and general manager of mobility growth at WEX. “While many software providers offer specialized offerings, WEX Field Service Management combines field service operations, fleet management, and payments by one trusted partner, empowering contractors to streamline operations and strengthen customer relationships, so they can confidently scale their business.”

New Features of WEX Field Service Management

WEX FSM can help contractors run their business from the field to back-office with its easy-to-use solutions:

  • Enhanced business intelligence: Make informed decisions with insights from advanced reporting.
  • New and improved mobile app: The new WEX FSM app delivers a modern, intuitive interface powered by advanced technology, offering faster performance, stronger security, broader compatibility, and greater productivity for contractors in the field and office.
  • Fuel card add-ons: New WEX FSM customers can tap into WEX's fleet management offerings by adding the WEX Fleet card.
