Your office runs FieldRoutes.Solea runs your office.
FieldRoutes gives your team solid tools for scheduling, routing and billing, and your team does the work inside them. Solea does that work itself: it answers the phone, builds the routes on real drive time and follows up on unpaid invoices, all in one system.

Able Pest Management, Oahu. August 2025 on FieldRoutes against August 2026, its first full month on Solea: 1,340 appointments against 1,343.
The fair version
Both keep the records. Solea also does the work.
FieldRoutes is a capable system of record, and plenty of well-run pest control companies use it. The difference is what happens once the data is in: who answers the 9 PM call, who builds tomorrow’s routes, and who follows up on the invoice nobody paid.
What FieldRoutes does well
Intelligent routing and a drag-and-drop dynamic scheduler, built for pest and lawn routes
Payment processing with autopay
A mobile app for signing contracts, taking payments and starting service in the field
Pest compliance forms such as WDO and NPMA-33, dashboards, and an API
The backing of ServiceTitan, its parent company
From fieldroutes.com, September 2026.
Where Solea is different
An AI voice agent answers every call, day and night, and books into the live schedule
Auto-Scheduling builds routes overnight on real drive time and each customer’s preferences
Overdue reminders go out by email and text with a payment link, on their own
Any report answers a question in plain English, from live data
One team builds all of it, so there’s nothing to connect or keep in sync
Why teams switch
What FieldRoutes offices ask us for.
Four things that come up again and again when FieldRoutes users talk to us, and what each one looks like on Solea.
Routes built on the road, not the map.
What we hear
“It’s kind of just a map with little dots where your customers are, and then you circle and assign it to a tech.”
Pest control operator who evaluated FieldRoutes
With SoleaAuto-Scheduling places every due and unassigned job overnight, weighing real drive time, arrival windows, skills, regions and each customer’s preferred days and technician. At booking, every open slot shows the drive time it adds. Change a shift and the routes it touches recalculate.

Able Pest Management, August 2025 against August 2026, same workload.
“Our production numbers have gone up, and our travel time has come down.”
John BaraquioOwner, Able Pest Management
One system, not five vendors.
What we hear
“Instead of having to integrate AI with multiple CRMs, you have to integrate A, B, C and D to get everything that you want.”
John Baraquio, Able Pest Management, on running Able before Solea
With SoleaCalls, the schedule, the field app, billing and collections share one customer record, built by one team. The AI voice agent books straight into the live schedule. Overdue reminders go out with a payment link, and customers pay by card or ACH. Nothing needs syncing, because it’s all the same system.

Able Pest Management. Able doesn’t use the voice agent; it runs scheduling, routing and collections on Solea.
“Solea has definitely cut costs, increased productivity, and decreased the time that we’ve been spending on certain tasks.”

Reports that look ahead.
What we hear
“With FieldRoutes we can’t go in and say I want to see a month ahead. I want to be able to pull production for a year.”
Pest control operator on FieldRoutes
With SoleaThe production forecast shows booked value, planned hours and visits per technician for any stretch ahead, by day, week or month. Ask AI answers questions about the report on your screen, from live data, and shows its sources. Pin the numbers you check to a board, compare any period with last year, and open the jobs behind any total.

“We are having numbers that are generated by the system to validate our KPIs, as opposed to spending hours as managers trying to draw information out.”

What you need, built in weeks.
What we hear
“Where the larger companies couldn’t make adjustments for what we needed in three years, they’ve been making adjustments in days and weeks.”
Bernie Holst, Horizon Pest Control, on switching from FieldRoutes
With SoleaSolea builds everything in house and ships to every customer almost every week: 12 releases between mid-July and late September. When Horizon needed device barcoding before it could switch, Solea built it. Requests go into a shared channel with the people who build the product, and they come on site.

Switching from FieldRoutes
Off FieldRoutes in three days, not a year.
Moving the data is the quick part. The rest of the runway goes to your stored cards and your people, and it runs on your schedule. This is how it went for Able.
“The last couple times I did a switch over CRMs, it took between 6 months to a year. In 3 days, Solea said, ‘We’re done.’”
John BaraquioOwner, Able Pest Management · switched from FieldRoutes
Days 1 to 3Your data, straight from FieldRoutes
Solea connects to your FieldRoutes account through its API. Customers, properties, subscriptions, contracts and service history come across and are checked against your live FieldRoutes data. Nobody exports a spreadsheet.
Until go-liveFieldRoutes keeps running
Your office keeps working in FieldRoutes. Solea re-syncs in the background so nothing goes stale, and a final sync runs the morning you go live.
About 30 daysCards move without a billing gap
Stored cards move from your processor to Stripe, on the old processor’s timeline. You keep charging customers as usual, and go-live is set so every card is in place on day one.
Before launchTraining by role, on your own data
Office staff, schedulers, sales and billing each train in a test account holding your real customers. Then both teams check the imported data together and make the go or no-go call.
Go-liveThe next 30 days of routes, in one run
The day before Able launched, Solea built its routes for the next 30 days: nearly 1,000 appointments across 174 technician shifts.
“Sure enough, in 3 days they said, ‘We’re done.’ That was something I’ve never experienced before.”John Baraquio
In their words
Operators who made the move.
“The implementation and the training was a lot smoother than I anticipated.”
John BaraquioOwner, Able Pest Management · switched from FieldRoutes
“The experience of moving from FieldRoutes to Solea, I believe, was much smoother. We had people on site. They were working with us.”
Bernie HolstCEO, Horizon Pest Control · switched from FieldRoutes
“They were okay. We needed more. I needed a system that worked for me, not me having to work for it.”
Ian MateoPresident, Pest Tech Hawaii · has run PestPac, FieldRoutes and ServSuite
Yes. Scheduling and dispatch, routing, customer records, the field app, billing and collections, recurring plans, inspections and compliance, chemical tracking and reporting all run in Solea. After go-live you don’t keep FieldRoutes running alongside it.
Auto-Scheduling runs every night and places due and unassigned work inside your rules: real drive time, arrival windows, skills, regions, and each customer’s preferred days and technician. At booking, every open slot shows the drive time it adds. At Able Pest Management, drive time per stop fell 29% in the first full month off FieldRoutes, on the same number of appointments.
For Able, customers, properties, subscriptions, contracts and service history came across through FieldRoutes’ API in three days, checked against the live account. Open balances, device lists, zones and chemical application history come over too, and you approve them before go-live.
No. You keep working in FieldRoutes until go-live. Solea re-syncs in the background and runs a final sync the morning you switch, so nobody has to freeze bookings or re-type a customer.
They move from your current processor to Stripe. The old processor has to send them, which takes about 30 days, and you keep charging customers as usual in the meantime. Go-live is set around that transfer.
No. Able Pest Management runs its scheduling, routing and collections on Solea and doesn’t use the voice agent. You can add it whenever the office is ready.
Neither company publishes a rate card, so ask both for a quote on the same scope: technicians, migration, payment processing, and whatever you pay other vendors for today, such as call answering or collections. Solea covers those in the same system.
If you run other trades on ServiceTitan and want one vendor across all of them, staying in that family can make sense. And if your office has the people it needs and your routes and reports already work, a switch may not be worth the disruption this season. Solea fits best when the office is the bottleneck: the phones, the routing and the follow-up on money.
