Pest control - the cornerstone of our food safety and public health, of which the consumer is unaware - is in urgent need of an upgrade, a digital one. A lack of young talent is leading to an overload in the shrinking industry: there are only around 1,000 pest control companies left in Germany, which have to supply our approximately 1.7 million food businesses and hundreds of thousands of contract customers outside the food industry.
The traplinked solution: automate repetitive, time-consuming tasks, such as checking traps that have been set, using remotely monitored sensor technology. This saves the pest controller up to 80% of the time spent visiting customers and frees up capacity to either look after more customers or carry out preventative measures that ensure long-term pest control instead of pest control.
The elimination of uninteresting tasks and the use of modern technology also creates attractive jobs and secures the future existence of this systemically important industry.
At the same time, the environment benefits because the traplinked monitoring solution also supports poison-free snap traps and, in the eyes of legislators, finally represents an economical alternative to the current go-to solution of poison. An EU-wide change in legislation scheduled for 2024 is intended to reflect this change and restrict the use of poison.
traplinked offers these and many other advantages with just this one module - and there is more to come: In the next step, traplinked will supplement a constantly growing hardware portfolio with comprehensive documentation software that digitally maps every action of the pest controller and makes it more efficient.
This combination of hardware and software makes traplinked a digitalisation partner for pest control.
