We completed the conversion of our new CRM and operating system (BOSS), to over 95% of the Orkin branches this quarter.  Our expenses were negatively impacted this quarter by the acceleration of this roll-out."

Safeguard is the largest independent pest control company in London and the surrounding Southeastern Counties.  This is a significant milestone for us as we continue our strategic plan to expand our brand globally.   We look forward to working with Safeguard's exceptional team and sharing each other's best practices of pest control, training, and customer service."
