PRLog -- Scottsdale, Ariz. – Accurate and efficient scheduling of pest control services can mean the difference between a well-run exterminating service and one bogged down with multiple paper appointment books and spreadsheets, frequent service calls and extra administrative work. Thanks to online appointment-
scheduling technology from Appointment-
Plus (http://www.appointment-
plus.com/service_
call_management_
software.php?
m_id=200-5), pest control professionals nationwide are automating and streamlining their appointment-
scheduling processes, allowing them to focus less on their appointments and more on their business and customers.
A leader in appointment-
scheduling software since 2001, Appointment-
Plus gives pest control professionals the online tools they need to improve their appointment-
scheduling procedures, such as: online customer self-scheduling, which allows customers to schedule their services at their own convenience from any Internet connection; automated e-mail and text messages reminders sent prior to a scheduled service appointment;
online customer payment options; record-keeping and reporting functionality;
and e-marketing capabilities.
Many Appointment-
Plus users cite customer self-scheduling as their favorite feature, as it can free up a considerable amount of administrative time previously devoted to taking service appointments by phone. This is especially true for pest control professionals with limited or no support staff that routinely book appointments via phone while on the road or on-site.
“Appointment-
Plus understands the unique needs of pest control businesses,”
says Bob La Loggia, president and founder of StormSource Software, the developer of Appointment-
Plus. “Our software provides an effective, affordable solution to the tedious—and oftentimes time consuming—task of scheduling and managing service appointments and client information.”
As a Web-based application, it’s accessible from any Internet connection and is ideal for pest control professionals who need access to their appointment schedule when away from their home or office. Additionally, Appointment-
Plus does not require a Web site, expensive hardware or time-consuming installations to use. Pricing starts at $39 per month with no long-term contracts, along with free set-up assistance with a dedicated coach.
