Pest control technicians waste time and money on free return service calls due to insufficient initial service, which is not accounted for in production-only pay models.

Existing scheduling and pay systems optimize for high production (number of services per day), but do not track or incentivize first-time resolution, leading to unpaid rework.

App Concept

FirstPass Pest

FirstPass Pest is a mobile and web app that tracks first-time resolution rates and integrates with pay/scheduling systems. It provides real-time checklists and quality scoring for each service visit, ensuring thoroughness and reducing callbacks. Technicians get bonuses for high first-pass rates, aligning compensation with quality, not just speed.

Key Features

Customizable pre-service and post-service checklists per pest type
Real-time quality scoring and first-pass resolution tracking
Integration with payroll and dispatch systems to adjust compensation
Dashboard showing callback rates and financial impact of rework

Target Users: Pest control business owners and operations managers at small to mid-size pest control companies (5-50 technicians) who pay technicians on a production-only basis and suffer from frequent callbacks.

Revenue Model: $49/mo base fee for up to 5 technicians plus $9/mo per additional technician
