Formitize is known for delivering smart, paperless business solutions, with its Pest Management App specifically designed for pest control businesses.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div><\/p>\n

In an industry grappling with rising labour costs, competitive pricing and escalating customer expectations, pest control businesses have no choice but to find ways to work smarter. The right pest management software can be a game changer, ultimately enhancing productivity and improving the bottom line.<\/p>\n

Automation is key. Employees are expensive and their costs are rising, so it is important that they are contributing in areas that add the most value to the business \u2013 and that isn\u2019t performing manual, repetitive tasks that can so easily be automated. By utilising software like the Formitize<\/a> Pest Management App<\/a>, a whole range of smart automations can easily be set up to take away the noise of constant, repetitive tasks. Pest Management App calls this feature \u2018Smart Assist\u2019, and some of the automations include: pre-job reminders, post-job follow-ups and surveys, quotation follow-up, overdue invoice chasing, document expiry notifications, and recurring job scheduling.<\/p>\n

Automating these day-to-day tasks not only improves regular communication, reminders and customer service, but also allows the people in your business to focus their time on tasks best performed by real people: customer care, marketing, phone calls and building customer relationships.<\/p>\n

Your website is a tool that is so often overlooked. In a world of influencers and social media, the deep value of your website can be forgotten, but it remains your central source of truth. Potential customers will more than likely check out your website and move on if it doesn\u2019t look professional and current. They won\u2019t let you know that it was your website that let you down before going elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Pest Management App recognises the value of a quality website to help you win new business, taking websites to another level with \u2018Smart Sites\u2019, an optional add-on service that helps you work smarter. Smart sites have all the characteristics of a great website, but are elevated with a range of smart automations including, \u2018contact to CRM\u2019, \u2018quick quote\u2019 and \u2018book a job\u2019. Think of it as your very own efficient (and economical) PA.<\/p>\n

These pages are embedded in the website and plug in directly to your Pest Management Account.<\/p>\n

With Smart Sites, customers have the option of a complete website build that incorporates Smart Sites features or adding components to an existing website if preferred.<\/p>\n

So now, when a customer completes the \u2018contact us\u2019 form on the smart site for example, a whole range of automations can trigger, including: creating a new contact in the CRM; creating a new sales lead in the sales pipeline; sending the contact an email with attachments; or sending a team member an SMS with the contact name and number so they can click to call the contact in seconds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a process that\u2019s fast, completely automated, nothing is missed and the potential customer is instantly impressed!<\/p>\n
