Pest control time tracking for recurring accounts

Commercial pest control runs on a schedule: the same restaurants, warehouses, schools and HOAs every week or month. GEOTT turns each account into a site with a geofence, checks every visit against it and adds up the hours each account takes. If your business is mostly one-off residential routes, read the fit section first.

Pest control technician treating the outside of a house — A scheduled exterior treatment: the visit starts with a clock-in inside the account's circle.

Is GEOTT a good fit for a pest control company?

For recurring commercial accounts and crews on larger sites, yes: each account is a site you set up once and visit for months. For routes of 15 different homes a day, each visited once a quarter, creating a site per home is more work than it saves. GEOTT is a time clock built on job sites, not a route planner.

Where GEOTT fits in pest control
Type of work	Fit	Why
Restaurants, food plants, warehouses on contract	Strong	Same sites every week; hours per account matter
Schools, hospitals, apartment complexes	Strong	Large sites, crews, after-hours visits
HOA common areas and termite jobs over several days	Good	Multi-day work on a known site
Residential routes, a new home every 30 minutes	Weak	Use your routing software; GEOTT doesn't dispatch

How do technicians record commercial visits?

Each account gets a circle around the building and its grounds. The technician clocks in at the first account, switches site at each next one and clocks out at the end of the route. Each tap reads the position once and checks it against that account's circle; nothing is recorded on the road in between.

Account sites

Set up once per account; archive it when the contract ends and its history stays.

Site changes

One tap per stop, checked on the next account's geofence; the route is split by account automatically.

After-hours visits

Restaurants after closing, schools on weekends: night and weekend rules count those hours your way.

Hours per account

The by-project export shows the time each account took this month, to compare with what it pays.

What does a commercial route look like in GEOTT?

A sample day with invented accounts for one technician: six commercial stops, one food warehouse with weak signal inside. GEOTT records 10 hours split across six accounts, the warehouse visit synced when the tech walked back to the van, and the restaurant visits flagged as after-hours.

Sample data: one technician, one day
Time	Account (sample)	Hours	Note
6:00 a.m.	Bakery, before opening	1.25	Night window until 6 a.m.
7:15 a.m.	Food distribution warehouse	2.75	Weak signal: saved, synced at the van
10:00 a.m.	Elementary school grounds	1.75	Valid clock-in at the gate
11:45 a.m.	Apartment complex, common areas	1.75	Site change
1:30 p.m.	Medical office	1.0	Site change
2:30 p.m.	HOA clubhouse and pool	1.5	Clock-out at 4:00 p.m.

Each account's hours run from its clock-in or site change to the next site change, so the drive to the next stop counts on the account just left. On an iPhone, entries saved without signal upload when GEOTT is next opened with coverage.

What radius fits a commercial account?

Wide enough for the building, the parking lot and the grounds you treat. Under open sky phones are typically within 4.9 m (16 ft), says GPS.gov; inside big warehouses it's much worse, so ask techs to clock in at the door.

Restaurant or small office	60 m (about 200 ft)
School or medical building	150 m (about 490 ft)

Pest control questions

What is the best time clock app for pest control technicians?

For commercial accounts, one that records each visit on the right account and gives you hours per account. GEOTT does that for $7 per active worker. For residential routing and service tickets, keep your pest control software: GEOTT doesn't route or invoice.

Can I prove a visit happened to a commercial client?

GEOTT records the technician's clock-in on the account with time and geofence check, and keeps every later change in a log. You can share the by-project export with the client. GEOTT doesn't produce service reports or treatment records.

Does GEOTT track the service vehicle?

No. GEOTT is not a vehicle tracker: it reads the technician's phone position only when they clock in, change site or clock out. The drive between accounts isn't recorded.

What do I tell my technicians?

That the position is read only at those taps, what it's used for and who sees it. GEOTT shows each worker a notice to confirm before the first punch. State rules are summarized in is GPS tracking of employees legal?

Which other crews use GEOTT?

Any company whose people start the day on a job site instead of in an office. Each page takes one trade, its typical day and the radius that fits its sites.

How do I test GEOTT on my commercial accounts?

Add the accounts of one commercial route, send the link to that technician and let them work the route as usual. You'll see hours per account after the first week. The trial lasts 15 days and needs no credit card.
