Company Overview
About Aptive
Aptive Environmental is an environmentally responsible residential and commercial pest control services provider. With operations in more than 4,000 cities in the U.S., Aptive is growing quickly and providing a vital service to people and organisations all over the world. Founded in 2015, Aptive began with the help of CEO David Royce. David had previously launched several other successful pest control companies and wanted to change the game by offering environmentally friendly pest control that isn’t dangerous for people or pets. After becoming a member of the EPA’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Programme, Aptive grew quickly and soon became the 5th largest pest control company in the world, even expanding its reach and partnering with the United Nations to help stop the spread of Malaria transmitted by mosquito bites in affected countries.
The Challenge
Insufficient motivation and visibility
Working in pest control, Aptive faced unique challenges with their seasonally fluctuating workforce:
- How could they motivate and reward thousands of dispersed employees?
- How could the track, report, and wisely use incentive dollars?
Their previous solution gave autonomy to individual managers with little oversight, leading to disconnected programmes and a lack of financial visibility.
The Solutions
A unified dashboard with complete visibility
By implementing Awardco, Aptive got access to:
- Centralised dashboards that provide real-time insight into incentive spend and budgetary health
- Powerful reporting tools to help track engagement, budget usage, and more
- Administrative controls to allow leadership to guide overall recognition strategy without micromanaging managers
Admins can now track budget, ensure equitable rewards, and consolidate all of their incentive efforts on one platform.
The Results
Smaller spend, bigger impact
Now entering its sixth year of working with Awardco, Aptive continues to:
- Optimise incentive budgets with real-time reporting and usage tracking
- Motivate remote, seasonal teams through more targeted and timely recognition
- Improve operational productivity by aligning incentives with business goals
Awardco has helped Aptive transform recognition from a decentralised challenge into a strategic advantage, driving culture and performance—year-round.
