PROVO, Utah. In an industry steeped in tradition, some have questioned if pest control can or needs to enter fully into the digital age. Founders of Pocomos software management systems say it is time to pull out the iPads and get on board.
Jeremiah Olsen and Scott Hunter, founders of Pocomos, launched a software management system in September that meets the demands of pest controllers everywhere. Their new software was designed to offer paperless transactions, be simple to use, and to offer complete control over reporting through a versatile and customizable interface.
“Every company pest control company has different needs. Our system provides a cross-platform solution that is mobile and built to be tailored for each individual company that uses it. Our web-based software gives its users the ability to receive live updates on a route or add a service to an existing account from any web-enable device,” Olsen said.
The new software aims to eradicate reams of paper used for contracts and technician routes along with the hours of office employees that would usually create the archaic documents. This not only cuts down on costs, but provides customers with their account information on the Internet where they can pay their bills, request a service, and even get updates on the location of their technician.
Moxie Pest Control implemented a beta version of the management system last summer in their Virginia office.
“We used Pocomos for three months during the summer of 2012. While in use, we estimated an operational savings of $65,821.85 over the course of a year resulting from using Pocomos compared to our old system,” said Tim Headrick, Owner of Moxie Pest Control Virginia.
Beyond its ability to contribute to the bottom line, the Pocomos platform breaks down reporting to a granular level. A user can decide to run an analysis by zip code, technician, type of treatment administered, or any other cross section desired. Once a user determines the type of reporting desired, that report can be turned into a widget that will push live updates right to your mobile device.
Olsen and Hunter designed Pocomos from the ground up after years of using out-of-date systems that were inflexible, difficult to use and expensive. The two spent over three years researching how companies use their management systems and the problems they face with them.
“Everything about Pocomos was built for the users, both the customer and the administrator,” said Hunter.
“We had already been looking for a better system when we found Pocomos. Pocomos provides a simple and user-friendly approach to complex problems that other systems seem unable or unwilling to solve.”
