Modernizing Pesticide Tracking for Program Oversight and Regulatory Compliance
A state department responsible for pesticide regulation needed a digital system to replace outdated tracking and communication tools. Their legacy process relied heavily on PDFs, emails, and paper forms—making it difficult to manage contacts, submissions, and follow-up across pesticide licensees and applicators.
The Challenges
No centralized database of individuals, businesses, or certified applicators
Pesticide records submitted manually and reviewed offline
Inconsistent documentation of follow-up actions across staff and regions
Static application forms with no searchable structure or metadata
