Blue Collar Trade Manager helps pest control operators run a route of recurring customers without a spreadsheet: each customer record holds the property notes and every past visit, quarterly or monthly treatments bill themselves on a recurring schedule, technicians are assigned to jobs on a shared calendar, and customers pay by card or ACH from a text link.
Pest control revenue is mostly repeat business, so the customer record matters more than any single invoice. In BCTM each customer keeps their service address, property notes, delivery preference and SMS consent, plus every estimate, invoice and message thread tied to them — so a technician covering someone else's route knows about the side gate and the dog before they arrive.
How the contractor CRM worksBuild an estimate from your price book — initial treatment, recurring plan price, termite inspection — and send it by text or email for approval.
The customer reviews and approves the estimate online from their phone, with no account to create.
Create a job for each visit with the service address and a scheduled window, assign the technician, and let recurring job templates repeat quarterly or monthly treatments. Technicians see their own calendar, clock in and out, and attach photos of bait stations or activity to the job so the next visit starts from a record rather than memory.
Jobs, crews and calendarsSet up a recurring invoice for the monthly or quarterly plan so each billing cycle goes out and collects automatically.
Call-backs, wildlife exclusions and one-time treatments go out as invoices with a public click-to-pay link for card or ACH.
If an invoice sits unpaid, automated payment reminders go out on a schedule you set, so nobody has to chase it by phone.
Paid, unpaid and overdue invoices roll up into reports, so you can see which plan customers are behind before the next visit.
$0/mo — no subscription and no per-user seats. Card payments: 3.9% + $0.30 (1% BCTM platform fee + 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe). ACH bank payments: 1.8% (1% BCTM platform fee + 0.8% Stripe, Stripe portion capped at $5.00). Cash and check: no fees. Full fee breakdown.
A quarterly plan is only profitable if every quarter actually gets billed. When invoices are written by hand after each visit, some are sent late and some never go out. A recurring invoice schedule sends each cycle on its own and records whether it was paid.
When a technician is out or a route is reassigned, the new tech has no idea where the bait stations are or which door the customer wants used. Keeping those details as notes and photos on the customer and job records means the knowledge stays with the business, not with one person.
A single missed plan payment is small enough to shrug off, but across a customer base it adds up. Sending every invoice with a click-to-pay link and letting automatic reminders follow up keeps small balances from quietly turning into write-offs.
BCTM has a $0/month software subscription with no per-technician fees; it charges only when a customer pays an invoice electronically.
Customer records, estimates, jobs, recurring invoices and reminders are all included at no monthly charge. The per-transaction fees for card and ACH payments are listed on the fees page, and cash and check payments carry no fee.
Create a recurring invoice on a quarterly schedule for the customer. Each cycle is sent with a click-to-pay link, and reminders follow up if it goes unpaid.
Pair the recurring invoice with a recurring job template so the visit itself also repeats on the calendar. If the plan price changes, update the schedule once rather than rewriting each invoice.
Yes. Each technician gets their own login, sees the jobs assigned to them, clocks in and out, and can add notes and photos to the job from a phone.
BCTM runs in the browser and installs to the home screen as a web app, so there is nothing to download from an app store. Adding a technician does not change the $0 monthly subscription.
No. BCTM has no dedicated pesticide-application or regulatory reporting form. You can attach notes and documents to a job, but check your state lead agency for what records you must keep and how.
Record-keeping rules for commercial applicators are set by each state's pesticide regulatory agency and vary by state and by the product used. Treat any notes you keep in BCTM as a convenience, not as your compliance record. This is general information, not legal advice.
Stripe's standard card rate is 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction; BCTM's all-in card rate, including its 1% platform fee, is shown on the fees page.
On a typical recurring-plan invoice, the fixed $0.30 is a noticeable share of the fee, so some operators move plan customers to ACH, where the Stripe portion is 0.8% capped at $5 (Stripe Pricing).
