Serent Portfolio Company Davisware Announces Sale of Wintac Brand

Serent portfolio company Davisware, a leading provider of ERP software for commercial field services providers, announced the sale of its Wintac brand, a field-service management software solution primarily targeting emerging market, residential contractors, to Clearent, LLC.

With the sale, Wintac will become part of FieldEdge, a provider of SaaS field-service management solutions to the home service market and a subsidiary of Clearent, while Davisware will continue to focus and invest in its core products- GlobalEdge and S2KVision, its enterprise-level field service software products, along with Global Warranty and E2. The sale will allow Davisware to increase investment in the product and technology serving these core customers, primarily in the enterprise-level, commercial segments.

"With their experience serving residential mechanical-contractor providers such as HVAC, plumbing, equipment-repair and electrical services, we knew that FieldEdge and Clearent would continue to deliver exceptional service and value to Wintac customers," said Jennifer Davis, CEO and Co-founder of Davisware. She continued, “As we’ve grown Davisware, we’ve developed first-class ERP and business management software that allows our commercial customers to scale smarter and faster.

He continued, "With the Wintac divestiture, Davisware intends to focus on its core commercial field service segments with its industry-leading software solutions.
