A Better Way to Manage Devices

If you want to drive more commercial and facility management business you’ll need proper reporting and tracking. This feature gives you the tools to confidently go out and win big business.

Start by attaching a barcode to any traps, devices, or equipment you’d like to track on the job site. The GorillaDesk mobile app can scan these barcodes in the field to allow you to easily record any activity and findings.

Send detailed device reports along with your work orders to meet state requirements. Arm facility managers with the data they need to operate within compliance.
