Fieldwork vs PestScan

Fieldwork is field service management software for residential and commercial service businesses, including pest control, lawn care, and pool service. Its visual calendar helps teams book appointments, coordinate technicians, and manage routes. Customer records sit in its CRM, and a portal gives customers access to invoices, contracts, and work history. Android and iOS apps support field work orders and can operate offline. Pest-control teams can scan device barcodes and record station condition, captures, bait condition, and other data. Chemical records can include EPA registration numbers, active ingredients, dilution rates, application methods, and targeted areas; they are kept online for three years. The software can generate pesticide usage logs required by California and New York. Plans are billed per field user, with office staff free. Startup costs $59 per month per field user and includes QuickBooks integration; Pro adds Zapier and API access. A 14-day trial includes full access, training, and support, with no credit card required. Fieldwork is based in Niles, Illinois.

PestScan is a cloud platform for pest control professionals, quality managers, and facility managers, combining business software, a mobile app, and a customer portal. Its integrated pest management tools record and analyze pest activity to support proactive strategies and lower rodenticide use. Visit reports can be sent automatically, customized, and prepared with the BPCA UK template. Operations tools include extended planning, route optimization, time registration, stock control, and management reports.

Documentation tools and safety data sheets support client compliance efforts for ISO, HACCP, IFS, and BRC standards. The data-processing agreement places personal-data processing within the EU/EEA, and says the service is not intended for special-category data, criminal-conviction data, or government-issued ID numbers. Plans start at €50 a year with yearly payment, billed monthly; the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. Plans list weekday helpdesk access and an online knowledge base.
