What We Do
We're the first global platform integrating SaaS, payments and growth technologies to help businesses succeed. We help our customers achieve more growth, faster.
We offer software solutions in fast-growing "everyday life" verticals: Childcare & Education, Fitness & Wellbeing, Field Services and Personal Services – and a global, cloud-based payments processing platform. With operations in North America, Australasia, Europe, and the U.K., we serve 78,000+ businesses that processed over $36BN in payments, in over 140 countries in 2022.
We offer smart software solutions across “everyday life” verticals, making life simple for daily activities with a recurring nature – from dropping your kids off at childcare, getting something at home repaired, going to the gym or a studio, and picking up your dry cleaning, our software helps businesses to overcome obstacles and build great relationships with their customers.
Our cloud-based platform is designed from the ground up. That means we can offer a full-service payment solution that helps SMBs securely accept payments through a proprietary, omni-channel platform. Software companies and sales offices receive the tools they need to grow and scale through our partnership program.
We also provide a powerful suite of mobile apps and digital services that accelerate growth, by helping customers engage, communicate with and retain consumers, manage digital marketing and loyalty programs, schedule appointments and service deliveries, and provide access to tailored data and insights.
We have everything you’d expect from a leading SaaS and global payments provider:
* Global integration capabilities, for seamless API-driven connectivity with our SaaS and third-party software; alongside our global gateway and tokenization engine.
* Seamless payment acceptance and processing, handling authorization, fraud detection, clearing and settlement, tailored for frictionless, omni-channel and recurring payments.
* Centralized data and engagement engine, for reporting insights, and CRM tools for marketing and loyalty.
* Deep vertical expertise - hyper-local "everyday life" businesses have specific needs which off-the-shelf software can’t meet. We’re experts at solving for these, because many of us used to work in the verticals we serve.
Our purpose is to help people succeed.
Our Xplorer promise is that we'll help you reach your full potential. And power others to reach their own.
Come join us!
