When you're ready to do more
Once the everyday is running smoothly, these are the tools that let a pest control company grow without growing its office at the same rate.
Every one of Blu Star's optimization tools honors the same rules: your technicians' work hours, where each one starts and ends the day, their meetings and time off, set appointments and morning or afternoon windows, and who should or shouldn't be sent to a customer.
Route optimization with Orion
Orion lays out each technician's month of orders in the shortest driving sequence, then re-optimizes around weather, illness and cancellations without starting over.
At Adam's Pest Control, laying out a month took five hours per technician. With Orion it took 4.13 minutes, a 98.6% saving in the office.
GPS fleet tracking with GPSlogix
See every vehicle live, get alerts, and keep track of fuel and repairs. With GPSlogix connected, Best Fit can suggest the nearest vehicle for a new order.
Integration with Blu Star is free, and there are no contracts.
Commercial and multi-site accounts
Tenant reporting
Service a mall, apartment complex or campus, and each tenant can get its own nightly report of the service in its space: materials, conditions, photos and notes. Management gets one report for the whole site.
Management logbook
History and reports for a specific space, or a specific tenant, unit or department, in the virtual logbook on the customer portal, tech portal and web.
Threshold action plans
When pest counts pass a threshold you set over a given time, Blu Star alerts the right people, from the technician to the technical director, by portal, email, text or request.
Inspection points
Barcoded devices and stations, or zones and spaces inside a tenant's unit, each with its own history of activity, conditions and materials.
The systems behind Blu Star
Blu Star runs in the cloud on Microsoft Azure: nothing to install, minimal system requirements, any browser on the desktop, and Blu Star Mobile for Android and iOS.
Your data is protected. The database can be restored to any point in time over the past ten years, and a full restore takes about five minutes. Photos, drawings, signatures and documents are copied to three servers in one data center, and to a second data center in a different region.
Behind the scenes, Blu Star connects to specialist services for the jobs they do best: address checking, sales tax, maps and drive times, email delivery and tracking, e-signatures and weather.
Want it under your own name?
Large operators who want a proven platform as their own foundation can take Blu Star under their own name as part of Blu Star Strategic Partner, with the CRM, Blu Star Mobile, the customer portal and the tech portal included.
And whichever way you run it, as your Tru Partner™ we help you get the most from it.
