Company Settings: The Company settings tab is where you’ll enter ALL of your companies information such as your email, phone, address, timezone, date format, and currency.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between items and services?
Items are the line items that will appear on your invoices, estimates, and work orders. Service templates are pre-defined job templates you’ll use to create jobs on your calendar.Â
Do I need a schedule for every user?
Office and admin users do not need their own schedules. You will only need schedules for your technicians out in the field. For example, if you have 3 technicians with their own routes, you would need 3 schedules.Â
Do I have to add my own materials?
Your account will come pre-loaded with a ton of standard pest control materials already baked in, but you will always have the option to add/remove materials to your list as well.Â
