As the new year begins, I want to reflect on what we achieved in 2023 in our constant mission to improve and offer innovative solutions. As CEO of Rupipest, I'm full of gratitude and pride for what we've accomplished together. Here are some highlights.
February
We had a revealing conversation with Lawrence Ayala, food safety manager at a food-grade plant. He walked through their adaptation and adoption process, the impact on efficiency, and why choosing a good IPM provider matters.

March
We launched the Lite module (Essentials in the US), designed for companies whose clients aren't audited, such as homes and shops. It covers scheduling, supplies used, reports and certificates, because no matter how big or small the client, what matters is always delivering quality and showing professionalism.

April
We appeared in LATAM Plagas magazine, issue 15, with a two-page piece on "Lack of clarity in operations: a slow business suicide" and how standing out with your clients helps you sell more.
May
We took part in international conferences, Chemotécnica in Argentina and in Guatemala, sharing knowledge and learning from the best in the field.
June to September
We continued the conference season, including the International Urban Pest Controllers Congress in Mexico and the Perú Plagas International Congress. We also appeared twice in Revista Plagas Argentina in a single year.
October
A personal milestone: I was a speaker at the 1st International Diploma in Urban Entomology 2023 at the University of Chile's Faculty of Agronomic Sciences, sharing what I know about making the most of our most important asset, time, along with the business view of digital transformation in IPM. We also entered our 13th country, Bolivia.
November
We celebrated one million inspections on our platform, a testament to the growth and trust our community places in us. There's no better proof of quality than clients using the software more than a million times.
December
We closed the year with another appearance in Revista Plagas Argentina and team-building meetings with a group of professionals all aiming at the same goal: giving our clients the best quality. We also had Jorge Bedoya, ACE, PCQI, give a talk on the German cockroach.
Looking toward 2024, I feel deep gratitude and pride. Every one of you, clients and team alike, has been a pillar of this journey. Thank you for everything we've achieved and everything still to come.
