Houlihan Lokey Advises Vista Equity Partners

Houlihan Lokey is pleased to announce that Vista Equity Partners (Vista), a global technology investor that specialises in enterprise software, has made a strategic growth investment in Joblogic, the U.K.’s leading field service management (FSM) software provider.

Trusted by more than 100,000 users across industries such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical maintenance, facilities management, building fabric maintenance, and other skilled trades, Joblogic’s cloud-based platform has built strong momentum by simplifying workflows, automating processes, and streamlining every stage of the job lifecycle. From CRM and scheduling to compliance, asset management, invoicing, vehicle tracking, and reporting, the software delivers measurable results—helping customers like Parr FM cut invoicing time from 15 minutes to one minute per job and supporting Lorne Stewart Facilities Services in scaling revenue from £50 million to £75 million.

Vista’s investment includes more than £100 million in new primary capital to accelerate Joblogic’s AI-first roadmap, which is already designed to help contractors and facilities managers work smarter and faster and grow their businesses with greater confidence.

Vista’s investment comes from its Foundation strategy, the firm’s middle-market strategy that focuses on investing in emerging software leaders and scaling them into durable software franchises. Launched in 2009, Vista’s Foundation strategy utilises a systematic approach to value creation, individually tailored to each of its portfolio companies, designed to drive operational excellence and catalyse their next growth phase.

“With strong customer advocacy and a pioneering focus on AI and automation, we believe Joblogic is well-positioned to continue its impressive momentum and deliver the innovation and outcomes this rapidly digitalising market demands,” said Ryan Atlas, Managing Director at Vista.

Houlihan Lokey served as the buyside advisor to Vista. This transaction cements Houlihan Lokey’s position as one of the leading advisors in the FSM software space.
