Commercial contractors kept hospitals cold and data centers humming while their own businesses ran on spreadsheets, texts, and software sprawl. BuildOps turned that mismatch into a vertical SaaS company valued at $1 billion - but the real test happens during the three-month slog of changing how a shop works.
FieldPulse is a Dallas-based software company that builds an all-in-one field service management (FSM) platform for residential and commercial trade businesses - HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage door, appliance repair and more. Founded in 2015 by Gabriel (Gabe) Pinchev, the platform combines scheduling, dispatching, CRM, estimating, invoicing, payments, inventory and reporting into a single web and mobile app, and now layers AI-driven tools (Operator AI and Chat AI) that answer calls and web chats 24/7 to book jobs automatically. Backed by roughly $79 million in total funding - including a $50 million Series C in August 2025 - FieldPulse positions itself as a flexible, customizable alternative to enterprise-heavy rivals like ServiceTitan and simpler tools like Jobber and Housecall Pro.
