# Why pest and wildlife owners choose WildPipe.

Seven reasons, each with something you can check yourself. If it is not a fit, we will tell you that too.

## 1. Built by people who do this work
WildPipe was built by wildlife control operators who hold NWCOA Certified Wildlife Control Operator and Advanced Wildlife Control Operator credentials, with guidance from experienced industry consultants.

**Check it:** The team and their credentials are listed by name. [Meet the team](https://wildpipe.com/about)

## 2. Wildlife work is built in, not bolted on
Traps, trail cameras, captures, inspection reports, exclusion quotes, signed-off repairs, and warranties are part of the system, right next to recurring pest routes and treatment records.

**Check it:** Each tool has its own page with real screens from demo data. [See wildlife tools](https://wildpipe.com/wildlife-control-crm)

## 3. Your phones get answered
A business phone system, an AI phone assistant, and a US-based human answering team are included, and they work inside your customer records instead of sending you messages to retype.

**Check it:** No per-call, per-minute, or per-booking charges for answering. [See WildPipe Connect](https://wildpipe.com/connect)

## 4. One price that grows with you
The platform fee is 5% of the payments you record through WildPipe. Every tool and unlimited users are included, so there is no seat counting and no feature tier to upgrade into. Payment processing is separate.

**Check it:** Add up what you pay today and compare it yourself. [Open the cost calculator](https://wildpipe.com/pricing#stack-calculator)

## 5. No lock-in, and your data stays yours
There is no fixed-term contract. Owners and admins can export every record, conversation, and file at any time, and the full API is included.

**Check it:** The export screen and API are documented publicly. [See data export](https://wildpipe.com/features/data-ownership)

## 6. We set it up with you
We set up your account with you: your services, prices, customers, and phones. We help import supported data, train your team, and turn it on when you are ready. Your team can reach support by phone, text, or chat, 24 hours a day.

**Check it:** Setup, supported data imports, and training are included. [See the switching plan](https://wildpipe.com/software#switching-plan)

## 7. It keeps getting better, fast
We shipped 118 updates in the last 90 days, including 28 new features. If an essential wildlife or pest control workflow is missing, we build it into WildPipe instead of sending you to another vendor.

**Check it:** Every shipped update is listed with a reference number. [See what shipped](https://wildpipe.com/developers/roadmap)

## Plan the switch before you change your day.

Bring a real pest visit or wildlife job to your demo. We’ll walk through it together, review your current tools, and agree on what needs to be ready before you go live.

- **You show us what matters**: Bring your service list, prices, team roles, and the tools you use today. Show us a recurring pest visit and a wildlife project if you handle both.
- **We review what can move**: Share a sample export without sensitive payment details. We review supported records, field matching, missing information, and the history you need to keep. Not every system exports the same data.
- **We prepare and check together**: Review imported samples, service prices, staff access, phone routing, and payment setup. Confirm any number-porting or website changes with your current providers before cancelling them.
- **Your team practices before go-live**: Walk through booking, a field visit, and billing. Agree on training, any remaining gaps, and a go-live date based on your setup—not a promised one-day switch.

## When something else might suit you better
- Your company is not a pest or wildlife business.
- You only need one small tool, like a calendar or a review app, and plan to keep everything else as it is.
- You want a flat monthly software price rather than a share of the payments you record.

## Questions owners ask before switching
### How is WildPipe different from general field-service software?
General tools are built for many trades. WildPipe is built only for pest and wildlife companies, so traps, cameras, exclusion work, warranties, treatment records, and recurring plans are part of the system instead of workarounds.

### What does it cost to switch?
Setup, supported data imports, and training are included. The platform fee is 5% of the payments you record through WildPipe. Payment processing fees are separate.

### Can I leave if it is not working?
Yes. There is no fixed-term contract. Your service ends at the close of your billing cycle, and you can export your data before then.

### Do I have to use the answering team or the AI assistant?
No. Both are included, and you choose when to use them, for example only after hours or when your office is busy.
