Workiz raises $40M on a surge of interest for productivity tools aimed at home service teams

We may hear a lot about how big businesses are undergoing digital transformation, but the trend isn’t exclusively limited to them, and today a startup that’s building better productivity tools for a very offline part of the working world — home services professionals — is announcing a growth round on the heels of strong demand for its technology.

Workiz — which provides tools to home services teams to help with scheduling appointments, estimating costs, invoicing for work and more — has raised $40 million, funding that it will use to continue building out more features, and to continue expanding into more categories of home services.
