Route management and compliance reporting run in the cloud.
The technician's handheld had no signal in the basement
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Treatment records are regulated, and they are captured where the work is done, often below ground. A handheld that cannot connect means records typed up later from memory.
What a consultant changes
Telecom Agency tests which carrier holds up across the service area and selects devices that store the visit and sync when they surface. A carrier store will sell you its own network. A broker will tell you which network your routes need.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for pest control
- The advice
- The advisor tests carrier coverage across your routes, including below ground, and recommends handhelds that store each visit and send it once back in range.
- The price
- Device and data costs are compared across carriers. Plans are matched to small, frequent uploads, which is how treatment records are sent.
- The service
- When routes expand into a new area, coverage is checked before technicians are sent. Replacement handhelds arrive configured.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
