A voice notes app for pest control technicians
Who carries it: Route tech
Fifteen stops a day leaves no time to type. chit pairs a card you hold to record with a voice notes app for pest control techs: say what you found at each station, what you applied, and what the customer mentioned, and by evening your service notes are drafted with re-treats queued as next steps. The complaint a tech hears and forgets is where cancellations start — captured, it becomes a follow-up instead.
Cancellations start as a complaint your tech heard and forgot.
When a route tech presses it
- Findings per station
- customer conversations
- re-treat triggers
- entry-point notes
“Pest route tech, 15 stops a day; log findings, products used, and customer concerns.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Service notes auto-drafted; re-treats scheduled as next steps.
Route findings and customer concerns captured per stop, searchable across the book.
Product-use narration supports label-compliance records; VPC storage.
Fifteen stops, and the one that cancels
A route tech's day is fifteen short visits, and the account that cancels next month usually said something at one of them. A concern brushed off at the door, a re-treat that was promised, an entry point nobody logged. Say it at the truck between stops — findings by station, what you used, what the customer actually asked. Service notes draft themselves that evening and the re-treats land in a next-step list. The value is not the typing you saved; it is that a customer concern spoken at 10am on a Tuesday is still retrievable in November, instead of living only in the memory of whoever was on that route.

Good questions
Does the record button work with gloves on?
Yes. chit records only while you hold down its one physical button — no screen to tap, no wake word — so nitrile gloves and a sprayer in the other hand are not a problem.
Can I log the products I applied at each stop?
Say the product and where you applied it as you work and it lands in the transcript. That narration supports your label-compliance records, and ask-anything search can pull up what was used at an account months later.
How does this help stop cancellations?
Cancellations usually start as a complaint a tech heard and forgot. Every customer concern you capture shows up in that evening's digest as a follow-up, so re-treats get scheduled instead of remembered.
Do I need cell signal on my route?
No. chit records offline and syncs when you're back in coverage, and the battery runs about a month of typical use — not another thing to charge nightly.
We're a multi-branch company — where does the audio live?
For companies, chit deploys as a branded device fleet with data resident in your own VPC. See hichit.com/enterprise, and ask us about compliance deployments.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
