We know the Pest Control industry

Having employees on staff that worked in the PC industry helps us communicate how utilizing GPS tracking equipment brings many advantages to Pest Control Operators of all sizes. GPS 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. Vehicle tracking helps monitor your two most expensive assets; your people and your fleet. Contact GPS Fleet Solutions to discuss live vehicle tracking and passive fleet management systems to learn how they fit into your organization. With a wide variety of GPS tracking systems, we can recommend the right fleet tracker to get the job done for the lowest investment based on your needs.

Our GPS tracking system can record activities that are part of any 12 volt system on the vehicle through a PTO. For example, monitoring PTO activity provides management insight on how long equipment was running or if seatbelts were being worn. In the pest control industry monitoring spray rigs is extremely valuable when it comes to customer service, termite treatment, application rates and legal issues.

Some benefits to the Pest Control industry:

• Termite treatment
  • Watch the number of minutes a pump is running, multiple it by the GPM then determine the total gallons applied. Based on the linear feet and label rate, was the correct amount of termiticide applied?
• Termite damage claims and liability
  • Termite inspections are very important and costly if not done correctly. Monitor the stop time to ensure inspectors are onsite long enough to do a thorough inspection.
  • Combat lawsuits claiming a lack of inspections on a regular basis. GPS provides unbiased evidence that your company is showing good intent and using all tools available to "do the right thing".
  • Confirm bait stations are being inspected.
  • PDS pump: This entails the same process but can help reduce call backs when enough material is not being applied.

PCOs realize immediate benefits by being able to see all vehicle activity. Seldom are all calls prescheduled or the day goes according to the schedule. With live systems 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 skill set and the job requirements. This improved efficiency often leads to 2-4 additional service calls per week, per technician significantly increasing production!

Commercial Pest Control operators generally don't need to dispatch but benefit significantly by the other insights GPS tracking systems provide. These benefits also apply to residential Pest Control operators. Other benefits for commercial and residential PCOs include:

• Confirm the route was run as planned and efficiently
• Monitor time spent getting fuel and taking lunch breaks
• Track time at customers location for job costing, invoicing and on-time service
• Reduce wages by taking the "rounding" out of the timecards and personal business on company time
• Elimination of afterhours driving if vehicles go home with techs
• Reduce fuel consumption, accidents and maintenance with slower speed

Real-time fleet tracking technology makes 95% of your company's day visible when before 95% of the day went unsupervised except as reported by service tickets. Passive GPS tracking provides the same information but at the end of the day when the vehicle returns to your branch. Passive systems provide excellent insight but without the monthly service fees of real-time GPS systems. GPS Fleet Solutions offers both types of systems and has a unique system that allows live and passive GPS tracking units in the same fleet to minimize monthly service fees.

Our goal is to find the right GPS fleet management system for your company and support you with industry leading customer service. Call us today to learn more about the products and services that will transform your business in a competitive market.
