Upload a safety data sheet directly to the material, technician always has it at hand

Recommendations with contextual filtering

Recommendation library filtered by work type and pest, technician only sees the relevant ones

Color tags for organization

Tags for protocols and clients with custom colors and names, managed from one place

Real-world examples

Technician arrives at the client and selects from your list — not from memory

At every service a technician records what materials they used, which pests they found, what type of work they did. If they have to recall names or type them manually, typos creep in, naming becomes inconsistent and records can't be filtered reliably. With custom catalogs they select from a menu that you as a company have prepared — your materials, your pests, your work types. The whole company uses the same terminology regardless of who fills in the protocol. And right after starting the app the catalogs are pre-populated with dozens of items — you don't have to start from zero.

Record materials with the precision that inspection and billing require

Every material has a name and an assigned unit — grams, milliliters, pieces, packs. The technician enters quantity and concentration at the service. The result is a precise consumption figure for every protocol — the data you need for both billing and regulatory authorities. You can attach a safety data sheet directly to each material — the technician has it at hand right in the app and the client can find it in the portal. Deactivate an unused material and it disappears from the menu, but in old protocols it remains preserved.

Pests sorted into groups — technician finds the right one immediately

Fifty pests in one unsorted list is hard to navigate. That's why each pest is assigned to a category — rodents, cockroaches, crawling insects, flying insects, ants, flies, stored-product pests. The technician in the protocol sees clear groups and selects directly from the right one. If your company deals with a specific pest that isn't in the pre-populated list, you add it in seconds — with your own category and position.

Work types connect to subtypes — technician only sees relevant combinations

Rodent control, insect control, disinfection — each work type has its own set of subtypes. Monthly inspection, emergency inspection, remedial treatment, preventive treatment. You set the links between types and subtypes yourself — if you don't do emergency inspections for disinfection, simply remove that link. The technician selects a work type in the protocol and the subtype menu automatically narrows to only the relevant ones. You can also mark which combinations should be pre-selected for each new protocol — so technicians don't have to repeatedly select what you do most often.

Recommendations and tags are managed in the same place

Catalogs aren't just materials and pests. In the same place you manage the recommendations library for clients — templates with illustrations, filtered by work type and pest. And color tags that organize protocols and clients — with custom colors, names and visibility rules by role. All from one interface, all with the same tools — drag to reorder, activate and deactivate, search.

Changes take effect immediately — for everyone and even offline

Add a new material at the office and the technician sees it in the menu before leaving for the next job. Deactivate a pest and it disappears from the menu immediately — but protocols where it was used keep it. Change the item order by dragging and the most-used items move to the top for all technicians. And when a technician works offline, catalogs are saved on the device — at the next connection they update automatically to the latest version.
