Full-Featured Vehicle Tracking For Pest Control Operators

PCOs realize immediate benefits by being able to see all vehicle activity. Seldom are all calls pre-scheduled or the day goes according to the schedule. Return on investment is measure in months, not years. An ROI is often achieved in 90-days or less.

With real-time tracking, dispatchers can see the fleet in the field and are able to make significantly better-dispatching decisions than pre-GPS implementation. Dispatchers can simply task the closest technician based on his skillset, equipment, and the job requirements. Often times, this is the nearest technician, not the regular technician.

During termite swarm season, you can significantly increase the number of termite swarm calls your sales rep reach. You may see a 15% increase in termite swarm calls reached! This improved efficiency often leads to 2 to 4 additional service calls per week, per technician, significantly increasing production!

At $35 per stop, that is $70 to $140 per week, per technician! $140 x 52 weeks x 15 routes = $100,000 annually.

Improve Operations

Having employees on staff that worked in the PC industry helps Fleetistics communicate how utilizing GPS tracking for Pest Control Operators of all sizes has distinct advantages.

Vehicle tracking helps PCO’s dispatch sales reps to the next swarm call more efficiently, highlights inefficient routing, slows speeding with an in-vehicle buzzer, stop personal activities on company time, and verifies time spent conducting annual termite inspections.

PTO Monitoring for Terminte treatment

Our vehicle tracking system can record activities that are part of any 12-volt system through a PTO. For example, monitoring PTO activity provides management insight on how long equipment was running. If you know the flow rate, you can easily calculate the gallons applied. With the linear footage, you can be sure you are applying the right amount of termiticide. Proper application saves money with over applying and reduces termite retreatments with under applying.
