20 Reasons to Choose Scheduling Manager for Pest Control Businesses

Equipment Tracking and Maintenance

You can record where your equipment is at any time with our Equipment Tracking Module. Suppose you leave a fumigation tent on site, all you need to do is simply record it in the Equipment Module and set the length of time to leave it on site to receive an automatic reminder for retrieval. You'll always know where your pest control assets are with the Equipment Tracking features.

To make the feature as useful as possible, we gave you the ability to keep records of inventory parts used and maintenance performed on each piece of equipment.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

Our Customer Information Screen allows you to view and control either customers, or leads, or both. One person can be dealing with your current pest control customers, while a salesperson can be viewing leads, calling and/or e-mailing potential clients, keeping notes on progress, and using other tools to aid in closing more sales. These powerful CRM features can pay for the software by providing better customer service and closing more sales.

Estimates

Quickly create estimates for services such as extermination, inspections, humane trapping, etc. with this powerful software system. The estimates can be mailed directly to the client or e-mailed for quick turnaround. Once accepted, you can easily convert the estimate to an invoice. Scheduling Manager’s CRM features will help you keep track of outstanding estimates so you can follow-up, close sales and subsequently collect payments.

Marketing Outreach Features

Keep all of your sales and marketing personnel current with all interactions with leads or clients with our powerful marketing features. Swiftly and effortlessly create bulk e-mailing campaigns for prospective leads, current customers, or select a group from within all contacts.

Marketing Analytics Features

The incorporated marketing features help you keep detailed notes on all customers and leads, allowing you to stay up to date with all of your business's interactions with clients or leads. We make it easy to create e-mailing campaigns to send alerts to a select subset of all contacts, move leads along the sales process, or market to current customers.

Reminder e-mails can be sent at selected intervals after the last job was performed for a client and remind them that it’s time for an inspection or to take preventative steps.

Accounts Receivable – Invoices, statements, payments, account balances, aging reports, etc.

Create invoices automatically with our pest control business software's integrated accounts receivable functions. The invoices are created when a job is completed, and you can immediately view each customer’s account balance information on-screen. We offer the ability to quickly create sales, profitability, and aging reports. We also integrate with several accounting packages such as QuickBooks, Sage, MYOB, and more.

Payroll Functionality

After you complete a job, all of its details are stored as historical data, including the assigned employees and their time on the job. Once the job is completed payroll is automatically calculated. We provide options to pay by the hour, on commission, or both. You can also pay mileage costs, fixed pay rates by the number of rooms, type of pest, or cost of chemicals. Scheduling Manager can handle any pay structure you may use. Reports for each payroll period display amounts due to each employee or sub-contractor. You can also run profitability reports so you can analyze gross pay per job and the total amount charged.

Route Optimization

The mapping tools also allow you to optimize routes for every technician based on each day’s job schedule. This reduces time spent between jobs and money spent on gasoline. With all the time saved, your employees may be able to add an extra job for the day and increase your revenue. Our mobile app also has access to these powerful mapping features. These sophisticated optimization features alone can cover more than the cost of our pest control business software.

Mapping Features

Our built-in mapping features for our software for pest control businesses helps you determine routes and schedules, calculate travel time between jobs, and find the ideal technician to assign to a job with our “Find Best Employee” feature. This powerful feature suggests dates for job booking based on when employees will be in the same area, which will reduce drive times between jobs and increase efficiency. Compatible with Google Maps, Mapquest, Microsoft MapPoint, and Yahoo Maps.

Mobile Access

Each of your technicians can check their work schedule and client notes with our mobile app, SM-Mobile. With this app, your employees can take notes, complete jobs and edit estimates from the field to add additional line items or requests. From the field, each technician can take job-related photos, record client signatures, produce invoices, and receive payments. The GPS tracking feature will provide routes displayed on their mobile device so they can move quickly to the next job. SM-Mobile is available for iOS and Android devices.

GPS Capabilities let you know where your employees are

The GPS feature allows you to track technicians so you can keep records of arrival and departure times from the job site. SM-Mobile's GPS feature records the location of each employee once every few minutes. When an employee punches in to the job with the mobile app, the time and GPS location is recorded. This way you can verify the times your employees are actually on-site. These records are useful for billing clients for every employee at their location for times shorter or longer than the specified time.

We also offer the option to check the location of employees with Scheduling Manager Gemini from your office. This provides you with many of the same capabilities of many dedicated GPS systems which cost a significant amount per month to maintain. All of it is included as part of SM-Mobile.
