Already well established in Europe, PestScan business software is now available to pest businesses in Australia.
About PestScan
PestScan founder Jan Smits began his journey as a software programmer, responding to the growing demand for tailored software in the pest control industry in the Netherlands. Since then, PestScan has continuously evolved, with monthly updates, making it a specialised tool for pest control professionals. Today, it is used in over 40 countries and is available in 27 languages.
Now available in Australia, PestScan is a robust digital platform designed specifically to meet the needs of pest management businesses.
In today’s competitive pest management industry, businesses face ongoing pressures, from increasing regulatory compliance to rising client expectations. The solution is to use a business software that is designed specifically to help meet these modern challenges. Going digital isn’t just a tech trend; it’s a strategic move that directly impacts your bottom line.
PestScan is a business software that has evolved alongside over 20 years of constant regulatory changes in Europe’s highly regulated pest control environment, bringing industry expertise and reliability to everyday operations. The robust digital platform comprises several key components, each tailored to enhance specific aspects of your pest management operations.
The essential element to any pest control business software is having a mobile app that allows technicians to operate efficiently in the field. PestScan’s mobile app is a powerful tool that offers intuitive on-site capabilities such as job safety analysis, PPE documentation, and photo and map uploads. Crucially, it works seamlessly offline, making it ideal for remote locations where connectivity is limited or unavailable, ensuring operations are never disrupted.
PestScan allows for easy regulatory and reporting compliance. The software simplifies compliance by automatically capturing critical information like APVMA-approved chemical usage, product batch codes, application method, dilution rates, and technician licence data. In the near future, PestScan will even integrate real-time weather data, recording wind speed, direction, humidity, and temperature, ensuring impeccable reporting accuracy.
Whilst the mobile app is essential for technicians, the desktop software is the heartbeat of office management. Designed with larger companies in mind, PestScan’s office portal streamlines administrative processes, enabling comprehensive scheduling, technician dispatch, and real-time job monitoring. It centralises control over complex operations, saving your administrative team valuable time and resources.
Modern pest control business software also provides client access options. At the heart of PestScan is the client portal, where all data and registrations converge into clear, compliant reports. This portal provides customers – and their auditors, in the case of commercial clients – with 24/7 access to detailed reports, job histories, treatment records, and compliance documentation. The transparency and ease of access enhance client satisfaction and facilitate smoother audits.
Pest managers know that customers appreciate clear, comprehensive reporting and demand transparency and accountability. PestScan enables the effortless generation of professional IPM trend reports (monthly or quarterly) featuring clear digital records, activity tracking, and insightful analysis. With these reports instantly accessible through a dedicated client portal, customers get the reassurance they need, enhancing your reputation and securing longer-term contracts.
Transitioning to digital operations with PestScan drastically reduces administrative overheads. Automatic invoicing integration with Xero streamlines accounting processes, ensuring timely GST and BAS submissions. Technicians use intuitive mobile tools for job safety analysis, PPE logging and site documentation, removing the need for manual paperwork and significantly improving operational efficiency.
Change can feel daunting, but PestScan’s team offers free data migration from existing platforms. All vital records and compliance documentation will be securely transferred without disruption, enabling your business to continue uninterrupted while enhancing operational capabilities.
