I’m happy to share the news that PestRoutes® and Lobster Marketing are now known as one company, FieldRoutesTM. This transformation has happened purposefully to support our commitment to helping our customers exceed their goals and grow their businesses. As you’ve noticed, our name, website, and logo have changed, but our purpose, mission, vision, and values remain the same. We will continue to provide the same high-level customer service that you have always experienced, and we are committed to fueling our customers’ growth.
As an innovative leader in pest control software technology, we’re excited to have the opportunity to sponsor this year’s 2021 State of the Fleet Management report by PCT magazine. Over a third responded that you expect to see an increase in your fleet size compared to pre- pandemic conditions. This sign of growth, along with rising fuel costs, means an even greater reliance on modern technology to manage your business.
As pest management professionals (PMPs) see more growth, the competitive landscape starts to change. An overwhelming majority (77%) indicated that marketing was very important or somewhat important, yet 30% don’t have a marketing solution in place.
We understand the daily challenges that all PMPs face. If you’re one of the 22% not using software, or part of the 45% that doesn’t understand why integrating a CRM and marketing solution is important, there’s no better time than now to start realizing the benefits. What’s more, our customers on the PCT Top 100 list integrating the two saw an average revenue growth rate of 53%.
2021 has been a busy year at FieldRoutes as we have been strategically focused on delivering greater functionality and features. What does this mean to you? A fully integrated, end-to-end business management and marketing solution to help you compete in this tight market. We all know that the first to respond to a lead gets the business. Our sales and marketing suite gives you the power to sell your pest control services directly from your website and have customers automatically scheduled into your operations suite.
Our Cloud-based software is intuitive, easy-to-use, and can make your business run more efficiently. With the current labor shortage, it’s more important now than ever to find new ways to do more with less headcount. Our operations suite offers intelligent routing to combat fuel prices and save you windshield time. Additionally, automated communications, such as appointment and payment reminders, save employees time to focus on bigger projects, and our real-time reporting enables you to make data-driven decisions.
All of us at FieldRoutes are appreciative and thankful for your continued support. We are enthusiastic about this new journey, and we hope you are too.
