The Client
American Pest is a regional pest control provider operating under Anticimex, serving residential and commercial customers across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. As the organization expanded, teams relied on a combination of Salesforce for CRM and PestPac for field service operations. While both systems supported core functions, they operated independently, creating gaps in visibility, inefficiencies in lead management, and inconsistencies across sales and operational workflows. To support continued growth, American Pest partnered with Aptitude 8 to consolidate systems, implement HubSpot as a centralized CRM, and standardize revenue operations across teams.
The Challenge
Discovery surfaced several operational and technical gaps as American Pest scaled its sales and operational infrastructure:
- Disconnected systems: Salesforce and PestPac operated independently, creating fragmented customer, deal, and service data across teams
- Manual lead routing: Lead assignment relied on manual processes, leading to delays, inconsistencies, and unclear ownership
- Limited pipeline visibility: Sales teams lacked a unified view of lifecycle stages and deal progression
- Inconsistent data structure: Differences between systems created reporting challenges and misalignment across teams
- Operational inefficiencies: Sales, call center, and field teams were not aligned on standardized processes or handoffs
- Lack of scalable CRM foundation: Existing systems could not support automation, reporting, or long-term growth
Without a centralized CRM and standardized processes, American Pest risked continued inefficiencies, delayed follow-up, and limited scalability across revenue operations.
