On October 19 and 20 we were honored to sponsor the 24th Regional Congress of Bajío Pest Controllers in Mexico. The event, organized by ACPUB, had the following agenda:
Meeting our users face to face, and inviting other companies to take the leap into digital transformation, is an opportunity we never pass up. Here are the highlights.
Meeting the Querétaro state government representative
Government officials opened the exhibit hall, and a South American company caught their attention.
That's the point: technology lets us be present in many countries (nine at the time of writing). When messages arrive instantly and you can follow up from anywhere, distances shrink. That's why our users can follow every service in real time without leaving their laptop.
Getting closer to pest control companies
We ran live simulations of how Rupipest works, highlighting how easy it is to operate.
Software companies in this vertical often spend hours talking about the administrative side of their systems. In more than ten years of international technology consulting in banking and finance, I learned that systems fall into a few types:
- ERP: administrative and resource management
- EPM: performance management
- CRM: customer relationship management
- Core: the business's own line of work
Let me stress this: creating a client, making a sale, issuing a purchase order and managing staff are very useful, but your payroll or accounting system could serve a restaurant, a dental office or a spa just as well.
The magic of software for pest control companies is a core (the operational features) that solves the industry's real problems. That's why our simulations focused almost entirely on operations: standardizing field work, capturing events and evidence (photos!), checking information in real time and generating service reports automatically.

The star of the show, winning the hearts of pest controllers, was definitely the Rupimusmus 😊
Strengthening partnerships
What's better than aiming to deliver lots of value to pest control companies? Knowing we're not alone. Since the 38th International Pest Control Convention (Mazatlán, June 2022), we've been working with our friends at AM ROMA so that pest control companies in Mexico who buy their products through them can get discounts on Rupipest.
Like us, they put all their effort into bringing more and better products to market.
Meeting the industry face to face
What the pandemic took from us, traveling and meeting our pest control community in person, is becoming a thing of the past. In-person events help us build bonds and make friends, and this one was no exception.
On behalf of the whole Rupipest team: thank you!
