Bluon, Inc. and XOi, two innovative software companies focused on bringing productivity gains to HVAC contractors and specifically their service technicians, announce a partnership that will enable technicians to streamline critical workflows, including purchasing parts and materials from local distributors.

Integrating Bluon's support and e-commerce platform into XOi's digital system of record for the HVAC industry keeps technicians on the job and reduces the time and effort spent to identify, select, purchase and pick up parts — tasks that cost technicians and contractors valuable hours each day.

Combined with Bluon's live tracking delivery system and rapidly growing nationwide network of distributors, XOi's best-in-class data capture powerfully enhances the field service technology ecosystem for Bluon users.  

"This partnership brings immediate and substantial value to our many shared users," said Peter Capuciati, Bluon's CEO. "It's very exciting to be collaborating with the XOi team, which shares our passion to support HVAC service technicians and genuinely make their lives better." 

The integration equips service technicians to easily identify, order and receive delivery of any part from Bluon's brand-agnostic network of more than 2,100 distributors across the United States. The unprecedented ordering and delivery of essential parts from the jobsite allows techs to focus on the job at hand and make the most of their valuable skills. 

"Providing technicians with enhanced solutions for identifying, ordering and acquiring the parts they need on the job is increasingly important for the field service ecosystem," said Aaron Salow, founder and CEO of XOi. "We recognize the growing impact of parts solutions in our industry, and we're committed to ongoing strategic investments with innovative platforms, like Bluon, that ensure we remain the leading end-to-end digital tool our customers need." 

XOi's advanced cloud-based solution allows field service technicians to utilize, aggregate and analyze critical job data and maximize customer value through industry-leading efficiency, accuracy and accountability.  XOi's integration with Bluon allows XOi to close the loop by connecting specific job information and related data with specific part identification and acquisition, enabling users to gain a comprehensive and complete data set for each job.
