Field service software for PE-backed platforms
Weeks per add-on, one operating standard, consolidated visibility from day one.
A roll-up creates value by making acquired companies work like one company. Notifi standardises the operating layer without stripping out the brands, teams and pricing that produced the revenue.
The platform, the add-on and the fund each need something different
A platform CEO wants a repeatable standard, an acquired business wants to keep what worked, and the fund wants comparable numbers this month rather than next year.
The thesis only works if they behave like one company
That means a common operating layer, comparable metrics and a playbook the next acquisition inherits rather than negotiates from scratch.
You bought a business that works
Its brand, its technicians and its local relationships are the asset. Integration that strips those out destroys the revenue that justified the multiple.
Diligence does not end at close
The fund needs visibility into operating performance across the platform without waiting for a month-end pack assembled from five different systems.
Everything a platform business runs on, in one system
Scheduling, dispatch, the mobile app, GPS tracking, price books, estimates, job costing, invoicing, payments and reporting, consolidated across every business.
Every month on the old stack is value not captured
The gap between close and operating standard is where roll-up value quietly leaks. Enterprise FSM implementations are measured in quarters, and an acquisition running on its old system is not contributing to the thesis.
Notifi goes live in weeks per business, with no systems integrator, and preparation can start before close. That changes what an integration plan is able to promise.
Iris is usually the change staff at an acquired business actually welcome, because it removes the phone pressure rather than adding process, which makes the rest of the standard easier to land.
Private equity, answered
What is field service software for a PE-backed platform?
Software designed to standardise acquired home service businesses on one operating layer quickly, with consolidated reporting, while preserving the brands, teams and pricing that produced the revenue.
How fast can an acquisition be moved onto Notifi?
Typically four weeks per business, and preparation can start before close so it runs on the platform standard almost immediately after.
Does the cost scale with headcount?
There are no add-on modules and no capability gated behind a higher tier, which is deliberately the opposite of enterprise module licensing.
Can acquired brands keep their identity?
Yes. Brands, phone numbers, price books and local teams stay intact on shared infrastructure.
Can we compare businesses on the same metrics?
Yes, from one source rather than reconciled exports, including newly acquired against mature cohorts.
Is a systems integrator required?
No, which is the main reason the timeline is weeks rather than quarters.
How does it handle separation between operating companies?
Role-based access and governance appropriate to a platform, with central visibility where it is needed.
Does it support shared services?
Yes, where a platform centralises the front office, one system supports it across businesses.
What about accounting across entities?
Per-entity accounting sync is supported so each business keeps its own books.
Is the data clean enough for exit?
That is the point of standardising early: comparable operating data across the platform rather than five formats.
