About The Customer

Invader Pest Management is a prominent pest control company based in Phoenix, Arizona. The company has been in operation for over 17 years, providing top-notch pest control services to its clients. Despite its success, the company was grappling with high fuel costs and needed a solution to monitor and control these expenses. Additionally, they wanted to track the time their technicians spent at each job location to assess their productivity and determine if they could handle more jobs per day.

The Challenge

Invader Pest Management, a leading pest control company in Phoenix, Arizona, was facing a significant challenge in controlling fuel costs. With gas prices hovering around $3-4 per gallon, the management was keen on understanding their exact expenditure and whether it was justified. Additionally, they needed to monitor how long their technicians were spending at each job location. This data was crucial in assessing the productivity of their technicians and determining if they could handle more jobs per day.
