Who is Collabetive?

(pronounced co-LAB-e-tive)

Operator-led. Built by people who actually run a service business — and use what we ship.

Operator-Led

Founded by Adam's Pest Control in 2014. We run a service business ourselves — every feature is battle-tested.

Product-First

Built by service professionals, for service professionals — pest control, lawn care, HVAC, plumbing, and more. Real-world experience drives every line of code.

Collaborate + Competitive = Collabetive

We work closely with our clients and pool shared resources to make our products and services better — so each of us competes harder in our own markets.

Two hands shaking to indicate agreement and collaboration.

Three pillars. One operating system.

Every CollabetiveOS product fits into one of three pillars — and they're built to work together, not stand alone.

Infrastructure

Run the backbone of your business

The connective tissue — phones, communications, and money — that everything depends on.

Reliable systems. Scale your business without scaling your overhead.

Shared infrastructure

Comm Center

Comm Center isn't a separate product — it's the connective tissue that powers customer email, SMS, in-app notifications, and operator alerts across Blu Star, GPSlogix, Fidulo Ledger, your Collabetive-hosted website, and every other tool in CollabetiveOS. One outbound identity. One delivery log. One place to manage opt-outs.

Five pieces written from running a service company: what to look for in software, how routing pays for itself, and how we train technicians.

Questions operators actually ask

The same six questions and answers this page publishes as structured data — one source, so the schema and the page cannot disagree.

What is Blu Star?

Blu Star is a pest control CRM and field service management software built by operators, for operators. It includes scheduling, billing, mobile app, route optimization, AI assistant (Maxwell), and customer portal. Blu Star is designed specifically for pest control companies and integrates with GPS tracking, phone systems, and accounting software.

How is Collabetive different from PestPac or FieldRoutes?

Collabetive is operator-led—we actually run Adam's Pest Control, the 54th largest pest control company in the U.S. Unlike PestPac (which charges extra for reports and modules) or FieldRoutes (owned by ServiceTitan, an HVAC/plumbing company), we built Blu Star from firsthand experience running a pest control business. We offer transparent pricing, no long-term contracts, and personal support because we only take 12 new clients per year.

What does Orion route optimization do?

Orion is route optimization software that automatically schedules pest control appointments into the most efficient driving sequence. It reduces scheduling time by 98.6% (from hours to minutes), honors time windows and technician skills, and leaves room for callbacks. Built by former WorkWave CTO Jason Kochel, Orion costs $10/user/month and integrates with Blu Star.

How much does pest control software cost?

Pest control software pricing varies widely. Collabetive offers transparent pricing: Orion route optimization is $10/user/month, GPSlogix fleet tracking starts at $16.95/device/month with no contracts. Blu Star pricing is customized based on company size—contact us for a quote. Unlike competitors, we don't charge extra for reports, customization, or support.

Can I switch from PestPac or ServSuite to Blu Star?

Yes. Collabetive has successfully converted customers from PestPac, ServSuite, Service Autopilot, FieldRoutes, and other systems. We handle the data migration to ensure no customer data is lost. Many customers switching from PestPac cite frustration with hidden fees and nickel-and-diming on reports and modules.

What industries does Collabetive serve?

Collabetive primarily serves pest control companies, from small operators to large multi-state enterprises. Our GPSlogix fleet tracking also serves lawn care, HVAC, plumbing, and other field service industries. Our consulting services help pest control companies with strategic planning, process improvement, and marketing.

Talk to a human

A discovery conversation with the people who run a pest control company, not a canned demo. We take 12 new clients a year, so the first question is whether this is a fit at all.

Operator-owned and never acquired, with no extra charge for reports, modules, customization or support — which is the part of a PestPac or FieldRoutes invoice that surprises people.
