ROI Impact
To automate pest control photo uploads, connect your field service app to your job management system so that when technicians mark jobs complete, before and after treatment photos automatically upload to the customer record with proper timestamps and metadata, eliminating manual documentation tasks.
How This Automation Works
Job Status Marked Complete → Photos Uploaded to Job Record
Technician Completes Treatment and Marks Job Done
Field technician finishes pest control treatment, takes before and after photos using the mobile app, and marks the job as complete in the field management system.
System Detects Job Completion Trigger
The automation monitors the field management system and immediately detects when a job status changes to 'complete', capturing the job details and identifying associated photos ready for upload.
Photos Are Retrieved and Processed
The system automatically retrieves before and after photos from the technician's mobile device or temporary storage, compresses images for optimal storage while maintaining quality, and prepares them for upload.
Metadata Tags Are Applied to Photos
Each photo is automatically tagged with comprehensive metadata including customer name, job number, treatment date and time, GPS coordinates, technician name, pest type, treatment method, and any custom fields configured for your operation.
Photos Upload to Customer Job Record
Before and after photos are uploaded to the corresponding customer account and job record in your central database, organized in chronological order with all metadata preserved for easy searching and retrieval.
Confirmation and Customer Notification Sent
The system confirms successful photo upload, updates the job record status, and optionally sends customers an automated email or text with their treatment photos, providing immediate visual proof of completed service.
How It Works
Transform your pest control photo documentation process with intelligent automation that captures and organizes treatment evidence seamlessly. This solution automatically uploads before and after treatment photos to the corresponding job record as soon as technicians complete service, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring complete visual documentation. Photos are instantly tagged with job details, timestamps, and location data, creating a comprehensive treatment history that satisfies regulatory requirements and provides customers with undeniable proof of service quality. The system maintains organized photo libraries by property, treatment type, and date, making it easy to track treatment effectiveness over time and respond to customer inquiries with visual evidence. By automating photo uploads and organization, pest control companies reduce administrative time, improve documentation accuracy, and enhance customer trust through transparent, visual service records.
The Trigger
When a pest control technician marks a treatment job as complete in the mobile app or field management system, the automation immediately initiates the photo upload and documentation process.
The Action
Before and after treatment photos are automatically uploaded to the customer's job record, tagged with metadata including timestamp, location, treatment type, and technician name, then organized in the central database.
