# xPESTx

> xPESTx is the pest & termite control operating system on the Biz Dev App:
> a complete business workspace — not a scheduling app and not a CRM —
> scaffolded with 15 modules, 5 record types and 4 named workflows that a
> pest & termite control business actually runs on. Work is priced on
> initial treatment plus a recurring plan by property size and pest class.

## What it is for
Treat, document, return. The state cares about the log as much as the customer
does.

The buyer is an owner or operator of a pest & termite control business who is
currently running the work across a calendar, a phone, a notebook and a
separate invoicing tool. xPESTx replaces that with one record per customer and
one record per job, carried from intake through pricing, dispatch, proof of
work, invoice and settlement.

## Category
Outdoor & Grounds — Weather and season set the calendar. Crews move in routes, and the asset being
maintained is alive.

## What the platform assesses
Pest photo identifies species and pulls the label-compliant product, dose, and
follow-up interval.

The assessment never sets prices. Quantities come from what was measured or
counted; rates come from the operator's own book. That is what makes two
people pricing the same job land on the same number.

## How work is priced
initial treatment plus a recurring plan by property size and pest class

## Records the workspace keeps
- Property pest history by species and location
- Application log: product, EPA number, dose, applicator license
- Bait station and monitor inventory with service dates
- Termite inspection and warranty record
- Re-service guarantee window

## Workflows it ships with
- Inspection → treatment plan → recurring interval
- Label-compliant application capture at the point of service
- Free re-service triggered by a customer callback
- Annual termite renewal with inspection report

## Modules
- CRM (Contacts, Companies, Deals)
- Calendar & Meetings
- Tasks
- ERP - Work Orders
- Client Portal & Intake
- Invoices
- Payments & Checkout
- Messaging (Email, SMS, Voice)
- Campaign Manager
- XODIAK Chain & Treasury
- ERP - Inventory
- ERP - Vendors & Purchasing
- Analysis & Insights
- Voice & Telephony
- Talent Network

## Integrations wired first
- State reporting portals
- Stripe recurring

## The numbers the owner checks
- Recurring plan penetration
- Callback rate inside the guarantee window
- Product cost per treated property
- Termite warranty renewal rate

## Who buys
- Homeowners on quarterly plans
- Restaurants and food handling with audit requirements
- Property managers with unit-level complaints

## What hurts without it
- Application logs that would not survive a state audit
- Callbacks eating margin with no root-cause analysis
- Termite warranties lapsing silently

## How the business makes money
- Quarterly and bimonthly recurring plans
- Termite treatment and annual warranty renewals
- Commercial food-service accounts with audit documentation

## What it costs
- The workspace opens free, scaffolded with all 15 modules.
- Premium surfaces unlock individually — monthly, or a 24-hour unlock.
- Credits: $20 for 500 XDK, spendable across any surface. Balance carries.
- Multi-branch and own-domain deployments are quoted per market.

There is no published per-seat subscription tier for this vertical. Any figure
quoted elsewhere as a xSERVICESx monthly price is not ours. Ask.

## Frequently asked
### Is xPESTx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?
No. xPESTx is the pest & termite control configuration of the Biz Dev App —
the same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded with the 15
modules and 5 record types this trade actually uses. If the business later
adds a second line of work, it does not mean a second subscription; it means
another vertical switched on in the same workspace.

### How does xPESTx price a job?
On initial treatment plus a recurring plan by property size and pest class.
The basis lives in the workspace rather than in an estimator's head, so the
same job quoted by two people produces the same number. Your own rates, your
own catalogue — the platform supplies the structure and the arithmetic, never
the prices.

### What does it connect to that we already use?
State reporting portals, Stripe recurring, Supplier catalogs, QuickBooks are
wired first, because those are what a pest & termite control business is
usually already running. Anything else goes through the xCONNECTx public API
catalogue rather than a custom build.

### What happens to the data we already have?
It comes in. The archive import pipeline takes historical customers, jobs and
invoices and lands them as real records — searchable, reportable, attached to
the right customer — rather than as a folder of PDFs nobody opens. The point
of moving is to keep the last five years, not to start over.

## Built on Biz Dev App
xPESTx is one of 74 service verticals on the Biz Dev App — the operating
system for the AI economy. The leading and trailing x are platform brackets:
Cross-Connect Protocol in, Cross-Connect Protocol out. Every vertical shares
one identity, one ledger (XODIAK) and one settlement rail, so a business that
runs two lines of work runs them in one workspace rather than two
subscriptions.
