PestPac product overview

What is PestPac?

PestPac is a cloud-based solution from WorkWave, designed for pest control businesses, which includes tools for appointment scheduling, route optimization, dispatching, vehicle tracking, inventory management and materials tracking, billing and invoicing, payment processing, reporting, marketing, feedback collection, and more. Native apps for iOS and Android allow technicians to access information on appointments, accounts, and services, record usage of materials, capture customer signatures, collect payments through integrated credit card processing, and print or email inspection reports while out in the field.

Key benefits of using PestPac

  • A module for tracking services in multi-unit buildings can be used for work in apartment buildings, hospitals, dormitories, and more.

  • The executive dashboard gives users an overview of technician production, performance percentages and overall numbers, reports on budget and revenue, real-time lead pipeline progress, and daily business statistics summaries.

  • A route optimization system analyzes appointments and finds optimal appointment slots for last-minute bookings, as well as optimizing planning across single and multiple days with dynamic route redistribution and multi-day appointment scheduling.

  • Alerts can be sent automatically to users, in a variety of situations, including when a geofence (virtual perimeter) is crossed, if vehicles are used outside of their authorized hours, for harsh or excessive acceleration, braking, or cornering, and if a driver either breaks a posted speed limit or crosses a predetermined speed threshold.

  • Customer feedback can be automatically requested by email, with users able to control the frequency of requests, and a reviews widget enables users to showcase positive reviews on their website.

    Pros
    I am so grateful to have found Pest Pac back when we started in 2002. It has made all the difference in our ability to provide the best customer service experience possible.
    I love the service set-up report. I love the collections module and the way it helps me track customers that are over 120 days past due and is integrated directly with ARM.
    I liked that it was pretty consistent and very user friendly. I was able to get things done easily because I felt like it was easy to maneuver.
    Cons
    Try and cancel your subscription they will send you a threatening email reminding you of their auto renewal policy and your obligated to pay off your remain contract or be sent to collections.
    There are many little mistakes with no evidence of fixing them. The pre-ceding screen to select my industry for example, Pest Control wasn’t even an option.
    Keep it simple stupid is my title because this software does everything but that.

    Great software

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    We love Pestpac! My employees can work from home if needed because it is in the cloud. The pestpac mobile app allows my technicians and sales staff to work entirely with iphones and ipads. No more pre-printing tickets for the day, which saves time and money from needless trips back and forth to the office. Also, the customer support is quick, efficient, and will stay with us until our questions are anwered.

    Pros

    Pestpac software has transformed my business of the last five years. During that time, Pestpac has given us the tools to go paperless, collect customer reviews on an automated basis, digital sales presentations in the field, and streamlined contacting our customers with their automated texting feature. As a result, my revenues have gone up by 50% while adding very few employees.

    Cons

    There seems to be a larger learning curve for implementing add on software features. It usually takes us longer to implement, but is always worth it in the end.

    Vendor response

    Hi Brad! Thank you for your review. We are so happy that PestPac has transformed your business! We love to hear success stories like you increasing your revenue by 50%, congratulations! We are also glad that PestPac was able to help you adapt to mobile and remote work. We look forward to our continued relationship with Preferred Pest Control.

    After 15 years, I'm Still Happy with Choosing PestPac

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    The folks at WorkWave have always been wonderful and polite. They've often gone out of their way to help me find a solution to how I want to use the system and will be clear when my requests are not obtainable. They believe in their product and appreciate suggestions that can help to advance the usability of the software. Since we're close in proximity to their home office, their Project Managers have gone into the field with our Technicians just to observe how we are using the software and how it can be improved.

    Pros

    The PestPac product is very expansive. It performs so many functions very well and integrates them within the system seamlessly. The routing and scheduling has created substantial efficiencies in our routes. Also, as extensive as the system is, it is not terribly difficult to use and understand. I appreciate that WorkWave is always making tweaks and modifications to improve performance and usability.

    Cons

    There is so many faucets to this software which is great, but sometimes overwhelming. You don't always know where to find the option change you are looking for, or if it exists. It's also difficult to know in advance how one set-up or change in selection will impact bill/work routing/reporting. Also, there isn't always help on a page, or the help is not helpful. I do think in the past that some new...

    PestPac - How we feel after using for 3 years...

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Personally I love PestPac. It's frustrating at times, but I feel that I know what the software can and can't do. For example, the Dashboard just doesn't work for us. I want to know how many cancels I have per month - true cancels - but the Dashboard will tell me how many deletes, how many deactivates, etc. I just want to know my losses - so I have to pull separate reports that I put in Excel to create my own accurate dashboard. I feel comfortable using PestPac and know what it's limitations are - and I know how to compensate for them - However, the inability to bill monthly is killing us. If this is not something that PestPac can fix quickly I'm afraid we will be looking at switching software.

    Pros

    I like that I can do everything from send out estimates/leads to see my customer calls pop up on my screen, to hitting three buttons to run renewals. I like that I can get almost any data I need. I like that the customer support teams is very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. PestPac offers a single solution to run a pest control and lawn care business. I like the levels of permission as a manager that I can give to my staff. I LOVE the task feature and the call features. I love that lead management is integrated with the set up and I don't have to enter information twice. I love the service set-up report. I love the collections module and the way it helps me track customers that are over 120 days past due and is integrated directly with ARM.

    Cons

    The main reason we are even considering switching from PestPac is because I cannot bill on a subscription basis from the account. Meaning, if I set up 2 payment plans - because my customer has 2 different services with my company (ie. pest and lawn) that when on autobill it charges my customers twice. This is a nightmare!! We have lost customers because they don't understand why we can't give them...

    Great tools and addition to any pest control company

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    In general, I LOVE pest pac. It has made our business so much better by using it. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for pest control software. There are so many tools and pieces to use and add it you want, it is GREAT!

    Pros

    Customer support is excellent! I can't ask for anything better! Anything that you are unsure about, you can ask questions and get quick answers. Anything you need... training and support, they are right there to schedule time to train and go over things that you may even have already been trained on but need a refresher. Questions of any kind or problems, support will help right away. This is SO nice and comforting to know when experience with other companies in the past is not at all like this generally. Scheduling -Route OP and dynamic planner is good, especially if you have never used a scheduler for pest control, it is great. Reports are awesome!! You can run just about any report however you want...great details to help you watch over the business.

    Cons

    Some of the scheduling in Route OP and dynamic planner needs attention. There are a some things that make it not work as efficiently as it could. In general it is a pretty good software, I just wish some of the ways the scheduler works were corrected to make this work better. The goal for Route OP is to help make scheduling more efficient and when it takes a lot of work to make it most efficient, that doesn't make the most sense to me.

    Dependable product and excellent customer service support!

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    Very good experience with WorkWave PestPac overall.

    Pros

    The software is very reliable. We use this daily and it never fails. Very easy to create customized reports. E-mail and text notifications to customers for appointment notifications work extremely well. Customer service is very quick to respond to any problems or questions if needed. I highly recommend this product.

    Cons

    We tried the mobile app. What we did not like about it was that the technician could not look up customer histories of past jobs. The only thing available was the jobs listed for them to do, could not add a customer on the fly if needed. That had to be done on the administrative side at the office. The app did not suit our needs so I cancelled the mobile app service.
