It started 10 years ago...

Ten years ago Jan Smits embarked on his adventure as a software programmer in the world of Pest Control. The pest control market was asking for a good software product specifically designed to their needs. Software that grows with the developments in the market so the pest control technicians can work in a professional way. For then years, PestScan has been updating the software at least four times a year so the number of features has grown enormously. We have really become a specialist in the market and sometimes people joke: “Jan speaks the language of rats and mice!”. To help more pest control professionals we have chosen to expand abroad. Step by step more countries were added: Belgium, Germany, France and at the moment our product is used world wide in over 25 languages. From our small country we now work on all six continents! Our team has expanded with a programming team, a sales team and a support team. Meet our team.

Jan

General Manager

I build PestScan up from the ground and just love writing program code. I am a Microsoft certified programmer. I hope I will always have the time to program myself. With the help of a team, we continue to add to the program. I love languages and communicate with the whole world about PestScan. My vision is to make PestScan even more complete and beautiful as it is today, but never at the price of performance or user friendliness. Long time ago, I used to work as a teacher and today I still teach, but now about PestScan.
