A major new upgrade to the popular Syngenta Pest App now provides valuable new features for pest controllers, to get the most from their work time and improve their customers’ experience.
Launching the Syngenta Pest App at Pestex in London this week (18-19 March), Business Manager, Richard Moseley, highlighted key new features include an improved recording and reporting facility, inspired by the NPTA, along with an updated pest identification guide and localised weather information.
“Recording and reporting pest control operations is critical for efficient business management, as well as keeping customers informed of what has been undertaken,” advises Richard. “Yet research and work by the NPTA repeatedly identified the significant barriers to pest controllers using digital recording and reporting software, particularly for small to medium sized businesses.
“The Syngenta Pest App provides a simple and easy to use platform to get initiated with the technology and provide a better service.”
Accurate recording is also essential to evaluate the efficacy of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, and identify the trends that will improve sustainable management of all pests in domestic, industrial and farm situations, he adds. The App draws on the wealth of knowledge and expertise of the Killgerm team to create a comprehensive resource of pest ID, information and management advice.
The new and improved Syngenta Pest App also features an extended and more informative Pest ID Guide. “Whether it’s learning something new or confirming details, the guide is clear and intuitive to identify pests quickly and accurately. It leads to making more informed decisions on the best action to achieve control.”
A new built-in weather feature utilises an immense Syngenta global weather data resource, to provide real-time, location-based weather updates right inside the app. It enables PCOs to plan their day and treatments more effectively, says Richard.
“We’ve refined the look and feel of the App, improved navigation, and optimised performance to ensure everything feels effortless from the moment you pick up your phone,” he enthuses.
The update to the new App will happen automatically for existing users; account information, including passwords, as well as any treatment reports previously created will be safely transferred.
Pest controllers new to the Syngenta Pest App can download from Google Play for android devices, or the App Store for Apple.
