Eliminating margin “bugs” for a pest control company ​

Key metrics:
  • Achieved recurring benefit of EBITDA increase by $2.6M
Value levers pulled:
  • Branch performance optimization
  • Scenario analysis and planning improvement
  • Financial and operational alignment

Picture this...

You’re a leading pest control company with more than 90 years of experience and 7,000 technicians in the field. You have an excellent reputation with clients, but you’re struggling to accurately forecast branch-level staffing—which is leading to margin erosion. You don’t currently have an accurate staffing model that pulls in data from your multiple data systems that will align the business and drive accountability in the field. You need better labor planning. ​

You turn to Accordion.

We partner with your team to:​

  • Address branch performance issues by developing a staff planning model based on technician by skill set, license, job, and route. This maximizes tech utilization by branch and region.​
  • Create an interactive model to analyze scenarios used by the regional managers to route plan and job plan based on skill set and license. This enables the managers to maximize utilization and profitability. ​
  • Close and reconcile the gaps in the financial plan (conflicting numbers between the finance and operations groups) through staff optimization. ​

Your value is enhanced.

By optimizing tech utilization and creating an accurate staffing model, you improve EBITDA by $2.6M and increase your work order completion rate from 80 to 88%.
