I had the same problem with my email domain. Payment info became outdated. I open my email daily and the first thing I saw was a warning showing X amount of days to update my payment info. I updated immediately and never had an issue. Here's the difference between a good company and whatever field routes is. Bad choice of a software overall Pros I signed up for the integration of Sentricon. I liked they offered that since I switched from Termite Liquid Treatments to a Baiting system. Outside of that, it did not offer me a better solution than my previous software in all aspects Cons The mobile app performs poorly. As a business operator, the app doesn't allow you to add a new customer, new service, subscription... etc. You have to log in into the desktop version in your mobile device which is not mobile friendly at all. All info looks tiny and difficult to navigate thru. New app has many bugs. Terrible when uploading info. Often times it crashes on android phones. Also customer info is terrible if something goes wrong outside "how I do this or that" Lastly, if you want out, they they weeks to give you your own cvs file with customer data. On top of it all, they duplicate info AND FIELD ROUTES IS KNOWN FOR MAKING DIFFICULT TO TRANSFER TO A NEW SOFTWARE.... DISGUSTING! Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Customer Service is a JOKE!" May 29, 2024 2.0 My onboarding guy, \[sensitive content hidden\], was incredible. He was the best part of my experience because he was always available and ready to help. The software has been great when there aren't issues, but as soon as an issue comes up, which it always will eventually, good luck getting any help from customer support. They rarely call back. They will always respond to emails, typically within a day or two, but the help there is laughable. I have been constantly frustrated with customer service. For that reason, I would suggest any other software as long as they have good customer service. I have lost so much money to their slow responses and how it has effected the operations of my business. It's unfortunate because the software is awesome, albeit a little pricey, but customer service just ruins the experience for me. Pros The software is pretty good. It is functional and integrates nicely with scheduling. The app is great. Cons Customer service is ridiculous. I have been a customer for 5 years now because I like the software, but I'm at the point where I am fed up with not feeling like a priority. When issues come up be ready to wait for days, weeks, and even months for a solution. Currently I have been locked out of my account for 3 days due to a bad card on file, and even though I paid the balance in full the second I was locked out, they have made no effort to get me back into my account to run my business, which has been on hold for three days now. This isn't even the worst thing I've experienced with their customer support, but I already wrote a novel review elsewhere on that experience. I am currently looking at competitors because I am blown away by the lack of interest in their customers. Not being able to run a business for three days because customer service won't get me back into my account after they have been paid is completely unacceptable. Review Source R Reviewer V.P Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Pest control company owner" May 2, 2024 5.0 very happy with the product and how smooth it has been recently Pros Online in the cloud/ability to save pictures to each account Cons Credit card fees/Went down for 2 days/glitches sometimes. Review Source R Reviewer Partner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "NO SUPPORT!!" August 21, 2024 4.0 The set was easy. The training that we were given was ok. The trainer only gave us training on the office desktop software. She was not trained to give us real world training on the mobile app. We were given no training WDO reports. No training on reporting to state and counties. The product looks good and it has all the features you could want. But not having the proper training for them makes it all useless. Not being able to get a response from the support team creates a "you are on your own situation." Currently this is creating a situation that if not just us, but anyone is not able to properly report to the governing agencies who is going to held accountable? The state and county offices are not going to go after Fieldroutes. We are the ones at risk. Pros The soft has many good features that help you manage the business. Cons NO SUPPORT!! Left (and this the truth) 57 voice message when we were not able service a huge account with over 70 devices. Was not able to get answer for three days. Review Source R Reviewer Treasurer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Field Rountes Review" December 4, 2023 5.0 Our experience has been great starting from the intergration from our former software to now. If we have any issues, we send an email to support and they are on it right away. Pros The ability to condence our routes using the map scheduling. Our technicians can do more jobs. We love the ability to use flags for billing which has lowered the amount of time we spend on billing. Cons The inventory tracking is not great. The other thing is in the billing section the c/o line is the first line, which is normally the second line. Our commercial customer do not like that. We have had to do some work arounds to make customers happy. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Do not recommend" April 14, 2023 1.0 The software is NOT good for a pest control company that offers multiple service types. The only situation I can see this software working for is a mosquito-only company because it offers one type of service on one schedule. We offer multiple pest service types on multiple service schedules and have used their "work around" of doing services as "line items" on the invoice of another service, but it still doesn't work well. Clients get multiple confirmations, followups, invoices, etc for each service day they have multiple services line up (Ex. monthly mosquito and quarterly pest service and annual fire ant/termite). I really have tried to make this software work-- it was supposed to be an improvement to doing everything manually and allow our company the ability to grow. It has only been a headache. 6 months later we still cannot use the software and after reading the reviews here (how I wish I had found these non-sponsored user reviews sooner!!) I am going to forfeit the rest of the year subscription and get set up with GorillaDesk. The saddest part is when I ask other companies in my network who have used or are trying to use FieldRoutes/PestRoutes they tell me they have/had the same, overwhelmingly negative experience. I tried so hard to remain optimistic as this was supposed to be a positive change for our company and allow us the opportunity to grow. I cannot remain blindly optimistic any longer and would never recommend to a friend. Pros The poor guy they assigned us to help us with the onboarding process was genuine and amazing overall. Cons Everything else. Terrible onboarding process and the salesman lied to me about multiple things the software could and would do or what their onboarding team would do to get us going. Review Source Curtis C. IT Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Long time user First time caller...." September 2, 2022 5.0 Overall I love field routes and have talked up the company for the last 8 years as a tech, a service manager, a branch manager, and call center support manager. I have learned to work around the challenges FR can throw your way. I have become a expert and a valued source for running custom reports. The low level support staff is amazing I've only had 2 questionable experiences in 8 years with them. They are quick to respond to your initial question and have a fair amount of tools at their disposal. Tech routes is a great app and has become a powerful tool for techs allowing them diagram stops and what/where the issues are present. Sales routes does a good job at keeping salesmen from knocking existing customers saving time wasted hitting existing customers. Pros Scheduling optimization, Raw power in reporting and finding whatever it is you need from a reporting perspective. Most low level support agents are amazing to deal with. Cons Mapping out stops there is no true distance score and the miles shown are as the crow files causing huge issues with proper routing without having an extensive knowledge of the surrounding areas. its to easy to run the wrong report due to the advanced and complex reporting system (I do love the power but my owners, managers, and agents can all run what they think is the same report and return different information. ) Integration with vendors is difficult at best. there is little support or care with large projects that don't benefit FR directly. updates are sudden, with no information, and after the updates made you don't find anything out about it for days or longer if you don't touch the system daily. Review Source R Reviewer Regional Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Does EVERYTHING, but not everything well." September 2, 2022 3.0 Painful start, getting better over time but still would like to see it get more user friendly. Pros That it is built for pest control and allows you to input products with ounces, gallons, etc. Cons Absolutely not user friendly. Sooo much going on with every page and hard to figure out how to actually set something up and no way to tell if you've done it right. Review Source MPS Myles Pest S. Office Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Very happy with FieldRoutes!" September 2, 2022 4.0 Using the software has helped us to streamline our billing and scheduling processes, thereby saving us time and money. We have also been able to improve our customer communications through the software. Highly recommend FieldRoutes. Pros Most helpful/impactful features: Billing, Scheduling, Reporting Their customer support is phenomenal! Every time I find a glitch or have a question about functionality, the customer support team is right on it. And recently, they have started offering informative webinars dealing with how to use different features and functions of the software. Cons We have had problems using API to integrate the software with forms on our website because we don't use FieldRoutes' marketing platform. Review Source R Reviewer Administrative Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Wonderful!" September 2, 2022 5.0 Utilizing the service categories to create different categories for types of services that you'd like to see individual totals for. For example, a subcontracted service for insulation is a One Shot, in pest control terms, but having the ability to separate this category from the rest of the One Shots is very useful in finding completed sub jobs quickly, and ensuring paperwork is submitted correctly and on time. Pros This software is user friendly, and versatile. Cons There is no ability to edit manual payment entries that are not run through the payment processors, for example, the payment date. There are some customers that submit ACH payments directly to our checking account, if this is not noticed the same day to enter in PestRoutes, you cannot back date the payment entry in PestRoutes to have both dates match. Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Best software available in pest right now." September 1, 2022 5.0 Does what we need it to which is great because there have not been any real great options in the pest industry until this came along. Not perfect but not making it a need to design our own. Pros It’s fairly feature rich while still being simple. Ease of use doing sales via mobile and being paperless is great. Cons I wish it had better user controls to protect data etc from accidental user mistakes etc. Also wish we could be a bit more modern with contract and invoice and customer portal and all thing customer facing in the design department. But those are minor. Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Best Customer Service Ever" August 24, 2022 5.0 It makes things streamlined, and much faster. It is a very professional service which in turn makes us look more professional and we have even paid to have our contract personalized and made into html so it is available on the app. The reports are amazing and really gives us so much information at our fingertips. The whole process from the start until now 6 months late has been wonderful and I truly feel even to this day my hand has been held through the whole journey. Pros \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] was amazing and helped us navigate a the huge change of transferring over our business. This program works wonderfully. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AMAZING -- BEST I HAVE EVER DEALTH WITH IN ANY COMPANY. They truly care and follow-up is amazing -- they will talk you through steps and hold your hand throughout not only the beginning, but any bumps along the way. I am blown away by the customer service and with all the reps. They respond so quickly and always do their best to fix the problem and do anything they can. I have called/emailed them so many times, not even with problems, but just to find out how to do something in a better way. Cons Some of the glitches -- like where some customers were charged over 800 in one month because of a glitch without our knowledge -- have been rough or invoice numbers disappearing or changing to a different number have been touchy. I understand all programs have glitches and Pest Routes has been attentive and helpful in every situation. The only thing is I would suggest when a glitch comes out -- to let everyone know that this is something they could experience so that they can go in and run a report to stay on top of it. If we would have known about the multiple payment glitch we could have run a quick report called "Account with Credits" and we could have seen the multiple charges right away and let the customers know ahead of time - or even refunded them asap. Review Source R Reviewer Owner & President Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Should I buy FieldRoutes?" August 24, 2022 4.0 It has been good, bad, and even ugly at times. The help desk is usually anything but helpful. I do have a contact who is very approachable and generous with his time which is greatly appreciated. But there aren't tpoo many of him to go around.... If I had one suggestion to FieldRoutes, it would be to get involved from jump with the set-up and implematation of the softeware. Many of us don't know trh w questions toi ask until it is too late! I would encurage buyers to have someone dedicatd to the set-up and implematation. Hours invested up front (by Field Routes and end users) will pay dividends in the form of an overall better user experience, less frustration, and hours --even days--trying to solve seemingly unsolvable problems. If I had it to do over, would I? Given what was on the market then and what I know now, a definite maybe. I would have asked more questions and pushed harder for real answers (less 'sales-speak'). Pros The single biggest factor driving our decision to go with then PestRoutes, was that it wasn't the "other" software. Cons Data migration was a nightmare.... The diffculty in creating custom service service agreements and implematation thereof, the route optimazation software provides far from optimal routing, and zero explanation of the "Distance Score" so that we can actually use this tool to aid in routing and dispatch. Also, I have a tremandous anmount of difficult extracting data. The "shiny dashboard" and the flood of reporting capabilities that were shown as part of the sales procewss were impressive, to say the least. What is there is much easier to use than the competitor I left. I am frustrated that when I want certain data, the answer is "sorry, can't do that". The initial purchasing process was less than "transparent" and I wasn't educated enough to ask certain questions that would have guided my buying decison. Review Source R Reviewer Office Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Scheduling Game Changer " August 24, 2022 5.0 Field routes saves us time, money, and allows us to be better prepared for each day. With the ability to save extensive customer notes, no details are lost and we are able to provide high-quality services to our customers. Pros Like any big change for a small business, switching to Field Routes was a large undertaking for our team. However, once we had things in place, it has helped us grow and succeed in ways we didn't think were possible. Working in a rural area, it is extremely helpful to be able to view and schedule appointments in a map view. We have saved hundreds of dollars in fuel costs, and we have helped our technicians be more productive. Realtime views of the technicians day has helped us to better schedule for their capabilities. There are many excellent reports that have helped us track and monitor our growth which has been both encouraging and challenging. Cons According to our technicians there are a few lags with the app software. Often the technicians will find error codes and not be able to complete their work. While this is a frustration, Field Routes has always responded to our concern quickly. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Good but could be better" August 24, 2022 4.0 It does what we need it to do and more but the negatives just might out-way the pros. But we will continue to use them for now because its really hard to switch. Pros FieldRoutes offers most everything we need as far as features and capabilities. Even some things we wouldn't necessarily need but find very useful. Overall a good product that makes our job easier. Cons I know that every software has issues... thats to be expected. But what isn't to be expected is poor customer services when reaching out to support. I have been using them for years and whenever there is an issue, the rep will always blame us until we prove that it is a FieldRoutes issue. It is incredibly frustrating when we are trying to solve a problem that affects our ability to make money and then to have a CSR from FRs say, not in these words but close to it, "you've done something wrong." If we've done something wrong, help us learn how to do it write, don't just point the finger back at us. Very aggravating. Second would be more training available to understand what is offered. We come across things quite a bit that make us thing "I didn't now it could do that." Along with the bad customer service from support, the one thing that will probably drive us away from FR's is the payment processing fees. Even when we weren't with Filed Routes payments, FR's would dictate what Braintree would charge us. There wasn't any ability to negotiate or be competitive. It's been the same experience after we switched to FRs Payments. To be honest, we are highly considering leaving because of how high the fees are. Its getting to be ridiculous but they won't let us go to other payment processors. The billing on this is also very hard to understand because you have to look through a massive invoice and there isn't an easy way to understand what we are being charged and why. Review Source R Reviewer technician scheduling Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Why cant anyone help us?" August 24, 2022 1.0 awful. with the acception of a few very helpful agents. but very FEW Pros i LOVE the tech tracking, it is the only way we can truly keep track of where our techs have been and where they are going. this feature truly is awesome. Cons CUSTOMER SERVICE. no one seems to be able to help us with our issues and everytime we ask for assist we get the same response "wow, i've never seen this before" We are not naive enough to think we are the only company with problems, this app was designed for Pest management was it not? please spend more time training your customer service staff. Review Source R Reviewer Branch Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A very robust CRM for the pest control industry" August 24, 2022 4.0 I took over as Branch Manager after our company had been using PestRoutes for over a year. They had migrated from PestPac, and it appears for all intents and purposes that the migration went well. It was a steep learning curve for me, and they want to charge for additional hands-on training (what I would call "re-doing the onboarding"). Even 2+ years on I'm discovering that our people either weren't trained properly in the beginning, or that that tribal knowledge was lost in the general turnover that companies experience. However, their customer service has always been helpful as we've called in about simple questions because we didn't know where to look in the Help Wizard. Pros The reporting features are incredible....if you have good input. Not a FieldRoutes issue, just a pebcak error. Cons Reporting is a double edged sword: there are so many different ways to get the same information that I've had to create a library of how to run the reports that we want. Yes, you can save reports, but only in the Reports tab. Side note - why isn't the Sales Report in the Reporting tab but in the Customer tab? Review Source R Reviewer Office Assistant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "There are definitely changes that could be made" August 23, 2022 4.0 It's been a bit of a headache to get it figured out, but overall it does help keep things running smoothly from the office. The workers using the mobile app have the most trouble. Pros I like being able to schedule appointments and then when completed, they make automatic invoices for me. Cons The time clock on the mobile app, as well as a lot about the app. I feel it should be more easily used like the website is. The reset for the "sent" feature on the invoices is frustrating because it throws things off. The fact of setting it up to quickbooks is a headache and next to impossible it seemed. A lot of it is done manually because the software doesn't organize things as well as I think it could. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Love it!! Thankful we changed from pestpac! " August 23, 2022 5.0 Seeing our dashboard is awesome we are thrilled with accounting side. Pros Integration was not easy because we were converting data. Not all the termite clearance letters with pdf files came over. Cons Mobile app needs a lot of help. Call us for beta help. They cannot update contact info in the field. We have podium but the reviews in pestroutes do not go to google unless we get them on podium. Reviews in Pestroutes are only visible to us. Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great for pest, not so good for termite" August 23, 2022 4.0 Frustrating to set up. Difficult to understand the email templates. There should be a better editor. Same with the pest agreements. You almost have to know HTML which limits the average person's ability to customize the contracts. The credit card processing fees are very high, especially on top of the monthly cost of the platform. We had to hire a consultant, Pest SOS to help us dial it in quickly and train my CSR's. The initial training was too fast, and therefore my team did not retain it. Pros The ability to grow to thousands of pest customers, and handle the billing, routing and follow up without having to add CSR's. Cons We are a termite-heavy company with most revenue coming from termite work, fumigation, repair, etc. We pay extra to use the WDO reports for California. The report writing function for the WDO reports is terrible. The diagramming tool is nearly unusable. We have to create the diagrams in MS Paint. The WOrk authorizations that are automatically generated are uneditable, and cannot collect electronic signatures (like the pest control agreements) and as the owner, I cannot get reports for outstanding (unapproved) work authorizations. It's so bad that we are considering using another platform for termite. I do not feel that the extra money we pay is worth it for the CA version. In hindsight, I would have gone with another platform such as Bug Base instead. It doesn't have the reporting power, but does way more for termite-centric companies in CA. Review Source Kim L. Office Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "FieldRoutes Review" August 23, 2022 5.0 The software has helped us grow by better organizing our business. Reports are awesome for enabling us to see the growth in so many ways! Pros There is SO much customization available so we can really tailor it to suit our business and adapt it as our business grows. Cons There are an abundance of features and a library of guides on how to use them. It might be helpful to have more access to step by step training with a FieldRoutes rep to answer questions as they might pertain to applying them to our business. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Ideal software albeit pricey and lacks certain things" August 19, 2022 4.0 I think my overall experience is very good. Not perfect. Customer service for me has been fantastic, some features are lacking, proce is. A bit high but the ease of use and functionality makes those things easier to deal with. Pros I like how integrated everything is and how I can have everything under one company. My CRM, SEO and Marketing adverts are all done by you guys. I do find it to be a bit pricey though. I also enjoy all the landing page stats, it feels real professional. Cons Pricing is a bit much for my small company. I don't like that we can't make the comments for customers bigger so it's easier to read. I also don't like that we can't book jobs on the app as well as techs can't print their own route summary from the app as well. Review Source Brian S. Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Helpful, but more left to be desired" August 19, 2022 4.0 The customer service has largely been responsive, kind, and they really do seem to care that we're able to be educated on how to use FieldRoutes as well as making sure we're in a position to being doing it correctly. The time it took us to implement was extremely frustrating - we signed on in mid/late January and didn't go live until June 15th of this year. And even when we did start, it felt like I had to keep explaining our business, what was important to us, and how we wanted to use the software, and despite that, constantly kept running into problems. The wait times to get things done were really frustrating to us. I'd communicated a ton with FieldRoutes implementation specialists/developers/customer success members about things we wished FieldRoutes would do in order to make it smoother for us to use, & be less of a "pest control only" type software, and my impression is that we're just a tiny fish in a very big sea of their clients so I'm left feeling very cynical we'll ever be able to have the software become more configurable to our industry. Simple things like adding different placeholders in forms/agreements, providing different customizable fields in customer cards, being able to download pdf's more easily in the Form Lookup, is stuff that would make a massive difference in our use of FieldRoutes but I have been provided with very, very little hope that those changes will ever be made. Although I must say, FR's been a real big improvement & help for us still. Pros Routing, dispatching, and scheduling have been great. The real time data and tools on the dashboard are extremely helpful to see how productive your company is and how your business is doing on the top line. Cons We've had a pretty difficult time adjusting things that we need in order to report to clients and to counties on the work we do. This software feels often like we've fit a square peg in a round hole, but it works for us. The thing that is the most frustrating to me is how this software still seems totally built for pestcontrol businesses, and if you aren't in that category, you seem to have to make your business flow fit as best you can into the software. The big thing I was excited about with software was being able to send out a crisp, smooth, digital, monthly renewal service subscription to customers throughout the year because we've historically done that using paper. We're still not to the point where any of the customer reporting/county reporting/renewal processes seem to really configure to what we need, which is frustrating. I'm hopeful FieldRoutes makes their product more configurable and adjustable to the industry needs of their customers, and makes it less of a static/"what you see is what you get" type software. Review Source David D. Owner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Will get the job done and can scale with you but push for growth has left critical features behind" August 19, 2022 4.0 It got the job done - probably the best on the market in terms of features and scalability for the price; but not without its issues. They also love to find ways to stick it to you: $.04 per text message sent and received and they MAKE you use their payment processor. It's not terribly priced but they're not giving you any deals or anything. Pros It's easy to get started and implemented off the bat. It also has virtually all the features you will need for a young to mid-size business. Some advanced features also exist (e.g., multi-unit tracking) which is great. Cons So many bugs in the software lately Pushing out lots of product updates that don't really work They don't tell you when they release new features There are really basic things (such as creating bundle packages) that are impossible to do so you have to get creative to make work-arounds. Poor / terrible sales & marketing related features Review Source R Reviewer Office Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Over all worth it" September 1, 2022 5.0 I believe over all the database is great. I think it is something that is great for the ease of use and the reports are easy to find. I do like that the scheduling is easy and you have several different ways to schedule. Pros I like that it is user friendly and simple with most of the actions that need to be performed. Cons I do not like that it is difficult to remove a payment. Actually that you can not remove a payment if it is placed on the incorrected account by accident. The only way I know how to fix it is to just make the payment 0. I do not like that you can not get a list of customers for a technician. I would like to print out each techs customers with last date of service. I have called customer support and they have given me ways to do this but it always leaves out customers.
