PCO’s Who Go Paperless Save a Lot of Green!

Instantly save money by going paperless.

 Multi-part forms cost .15 to .25 each and require labor to print, envelopes to mail plus postage. This total can easily reach $1.50 -$2.00 per invoice or $300-$400 per month per technician.  By eliminating trips to the office a tech can easily add one additional stop per day. At an average of $50 per stop that can easily work out to over $1,000 per month in added revenue.  Initial investment in hardware and SmartPest software can easily pay for itself in just a few weeks….while increasing your professional image.

Office & Field Productivity

  Going paperless can save hundreds of labor hours per year. Office workers are able to dispatch or modify assignments from anywhere plus technicians and sales staff can get more done in less time. Everyone can return “paperwork” to the office in seconds eliminating the need for office workers to document chemical usage and treatment data.

  Technicians can collect payments or deliver invoices on the spot decreasing billing time and increasing cash flow. With an iPhone®, iPad® or Tablet PC® customers can sign contracts and service tickets eliminating the need for paper copies and postage.

 Everyone has immediate access to customer history

Going green helps the environment

 You will be preserving our environment and save a lot of "green". Printers, toner, ink, paper, postage and the labor involved adds up to thousands of dollars per year.

Consider the following facts about paper:

 The average office worker wastes 10,000 pieces of paper each year  It takes 13 ozs. of water to process a single piece of paper   The average tree only produces 16.7 reams of paper This translates to over 178 million trees per year that are no longer part of the eco system  Most discarded paper ends up in a landfill  Going Green is smart marketing!

Improved Customer Service

With orders, contacts and inspections all digitally stored on your computer you can handle company growth and maintain consistent customer service. Quick PDF conversion allows you to send documents to clients in seconds. Realtors® are no longer willing to wait for you to return to the office to fax a copy of a termite report. When your client asks if you can email the “paperwork” and your answer is "No", then

YOU ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS BUT JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET!

The ability to take orders & send copies from the field means better service to your clients and lower costs for you.
