The Leaflet

We have combined the power of the PestRoutes Tech and PestRoutes Sales apps into one: the FieldRoutes Mobile app. By providing the ability to schedule, service and sell, all while in the field, the FieldRoutes Mobile app increases efficiency and sales opportunities for both field and sales personnel. Download the new app today. Search for FieldRoutes in the App Store or Google Play and log in with your current credentials.

Christian Allan of Tailor Made Pest Control says: “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."

Our payments partner, Payrix, has recently sent an email notifying FieldRoutes® Payments customers of updates to the FieldRoutes Payments Merchant Terms and Conditions. Below are additional details.

Among the changes in the Merchant Terms and Conditions, there is a request to have compliant Payment Authorization and Payment Storage language in your customer’s Service Agreement. While the need for Payment Authorization and Payment Storage language is not new, FieldRoutes will be updating the language of the default Service Agreement with new payment language over the next few weeks as a result of this request. 

If you currently customize your Payment Authorization language in your customer Service Agreement, we recommend adopting new language for consistency and to adequately notify your customers. In order to help you in this matter, we will be sharing some verbiage examples in an upcoming email for your consideration. However, please consult your own legal counsel as appropriate to meet your business’s needs.

No action is needed by you unless you have custom language in your Service Agreement. 

Collecting money from an old customer is 5-10 times more efficient than signing up a new customer. The FieldRoutes^® Operations Suite allows you to implement various processes in order to improve your collections and your profit. In the FieldRoutes Operations Suite you can:

• Increase the percentage of customers on AutoPay, which will enable you to collect payments faster and improve customer retention by encouraging use of AutoPay

• Improve Tech Collections. Make the most of your technician's time with customers by knowing how many opportunities a technician had to collect and how much was actually collected

• Use the Accounts Receivable report. You can send SMS and voice messages, email, and snail mail statements when there is a balance due
