Pest control software firm celebrates 20 years

Service Pro.net, developers of ServSuite, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The family owned technology company was started by Richard Deering as an off shoot of his lawn and pest management company. Its first product was a Windows desktop-based software program designed specifically for the family’s pest control business.

After selling his lawn and pest control business, Richard and his family focused on developing Service Pro.net. Its products evolved into web-based programs with over 1400 databases between its two main products. Service Pro.net’s latest innovation, ServSuite Mobile, was launched just last year.

What was once a business that had less than ten employees has now grown to a medium-sized operation with close to one hundred employees. The company has expanded its operations to include a larger and stronger sales team, a marketing team, development department, and a very responsive support department. This growth in operations has lead to the permanent move of the company into their very own office building in Columbus, Ohio.

As part of their 20th anniversary celebration, Service Pro.net is inviting everyone to celebrate with them in person at the 2013 ServSuite University in Nashville, Tennessee. See www. theservicepro.net for details.
