3/3
We stare at & interact with it ALL DAY LONG. Speed, visibility, simplicity, & instant visual recognition matter+PestRoutes does ALL FOUR better. Change for the sake of change ISN'T innovation. An app that undermines the most important part of the product is a DOWNGRADE.

CONCLUSION:

FieldRoutes is NOT an improvement over PestRoutes. It is PestRoutes functionality buried underneath a WORSE, SLOWER, MORE CLUTTERED, and LESS PROFESSIONAL interface.

If everything we actually need can already be done in PestRoutes, then there's ZERO reason to force reps into an app that makes the exact same work harder to see, slower to navigate, & more frustrating to use. These aren't obscure features — THE MAP IS THE CORE OF THE APP.

After holding #Hackathons in South Africa and Nepal and seeing many fantastic ideas developed by brilliant and dedicated teams there, it is absolutely riveting to be in #Colombia this week to support winning teams across Latin America take their ideas further.
