Manual scheduling can result in double bookings, overlapping shifts, or missed service appointments, which can lead to customer dissatisfaction and reduced productivity.  

Without a system for assigning the right technician to the right job based on skill sets, pest control businesses can struggle with inefficient service delivery, causing delays or subpar service quality.  

Poor shift management may lead to overworked or underutilised technicians, contributing to employee dissatisfaction, increased errors, and a higher turnover rate.
