What makes a business legendary?

We believe it’s about the people and the importance of their work.

At FieldRoutes, we recognize you and your business.

• Your work is essential.

• Your work protects health and property.

• Your work is memorable.

• Your work leaves an impact.

• Your business is legendary.

At FieldRoutes, we strive to provide more than software. We deliver the time-saving, efficiency-boosting growth solutions your business needs.

We recognize your right to make your mark and achieve your goals. We empower you to grow your customer base, create a legacy, serve our communities, and still make it home in time for dinner.

If you've visited FieldRoutes.com recently, you may have noticed that things look a bit different. That's because we just gave it a nice tune up and a fresh coat of paint. One thing you'll notice right away is that the site now features a new star of the show, you, our FieldRoutes customers. At FieldRoutes, we're all about highlighting you and your businesses. So, we've loaded the site with images of FieldRoutes customers doing what you do best, serving your communities with grade-A pest and lawn services.

The Field Famous podcast made its debut on March 7 and we can’t be more excited about it. We have four full episodes available for you to listen to on your favorite podcast player. 

Our host, Dr. Christopher Fasano,  resident neuroscientist and the director of growth marketing for FieldRoutes, interviews industry leaders from different walks of life to hear their stories of reaching field fame. 

In episode 3, Breana Neerland of Kwik Kill Pest Control, digs deep into the benefits of working with family, advocating for technology, and the many benefits of efficiency. 

Episode 4 features Amanda Ragar, owner of Natural State Pest Control, who found out that hiring people smarter than yourself was the key to opening up her company for growth. 

In episode 5, our guest is Dan Baldwin, vice president of technical services for Hawx Pest Control. Listen in as he discusses the vital role of science in pest control, and making pest management more than a job.

Each success story is unique, and we’ll never get tired of hearing how pest and lawn heroes drive their businesses to success and reach their goals. Listen and subscribe to the podcast to hear more stories of field fame.  New episodes drop every other Tuesday, so be sure to follow or subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

If you’re interested in joining the podcast, we’d love to interview you for a future episode. Please email us at fieldfamous@fieldroutes.com and we’ll connect to schedule a time to talk. 

Today’s consumers prefer the convenience of e-commerce since it gives them the ability to research and purchase at any time of the day without picking up the phone.  

What used to be a gap for pest control companies, is now a solution.  Last year, FieldRoutes built and launched an e-commerce solution designed specifically for field service industries.  Since then, our customers have seen a two-time  increase in conversion rates when utilizing the enhanced platform!  

Our e-commerce solution is very easy to implement and manage. We can begin to set up the platform in the next three business days after you approve the program. 

Take a look at this video to learn more. 

If you don’t currently use e-commerce for your business, now is the time to take advantage!  Click here to schedule a free consultation.

This is the perfect time to explore how you can use the FieldRoutes® Mobile app to maximize growth. 

Assign areas to sales reps to knock within, block areas from being available, and see area history with robust area management tools. Enable staff to add and convert prospects and use leaderboards to track rankings.

All this works seamlessly with the Operations Suite CRM for maximum efficiency.

“The new FieldRoutes Mobile app is awesome! The new and improved functionality saves us time while we are in the field. The app allows technicians to access customer information and schedule appointments with ease.”

– Christian Allan, Owner of Tailor Made Pest Control.

If you're a FieldRoutes Payments customer, you have an exciting feature that lets you incentivize your field employees to do more quality work. Tech Tipping allows your customers to recognize good work by including a tip for the employee at the time of payment or when they leave a review. This additional compensation for your employees does not come from your bottom line*. Keeping good field employees can be challenging, that’s why Tech Tipping can go a long way in helping with customer retention.

By compensating field employees, you encourage exceptional service. In turn, this can help build a trusting relationship between your customers and the services you offer, which could potentially result in the addition of even more services down the road.

If you're not using FieldRoutes Payments and want to see if we can meet or beat** your current rates, call us at 214.466.1765 ext. 1216 or email monson.welch@fieldroutes.com.

We're committed: Not just to our customers, but also in encouraging other software providers to follow our lead in supporting customers' rights to their data. If you've missed reading our Data Declaration, catch up here. 

FieldRoutes also has issued a press release, reiterating our six-point pledge to allow customers to easily and efficiently extract their data if they decide to move to another provider but also inviting all pest control and lawn care providers to join us in this promise to the businesses we serve. Read the press release here.

Know a colleague who feels trapped by their current provider? Send them our way and let’s see how we can help. If they decide to sign up, you’ll both earn rewards.

As a reminder, 2023 is a Farm Bill reauthorization year. This giant piece of legislation takes place twice per decade, and the NPMA asked for a strong showing of members to help get pesticide preemption passed and to push back against activists groups that want to limit the authority of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

On the last day of the event, Patti Newcomer gave opening remarks at a panel discussion spotlighting success stories in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) sponsored by FieldRoutes and at the Professional Women In Pest Management (PWIPM) council meeting, also sponsored by FieldRoutes.
