Services · Mobile app development · Pest control apps
Codeeo delivers pest control app development in Manchester for firms working across Greater Manchester's ten boroughs. Rows of Victorian terraces with shared back alleys, student houses that change hands every summer, mill conversions, curry houses and bars, and big industrial sites at Trafford Park all make different demands. We build an app that books, plans, records and reports each of those jobs the way it really happens, so your technicians spend more of the day treating and less of it writing.
Your customers see a quick booking, a clear arrival window and a report they understand. Your office sees every job, every van and every open problem without chasing anyone on the phone.

Built around Manchester jobs
Rats in a Manchester terrace rarely respect property lines. They move along back alleys, under shared floors and through old drains, so treating one house while the neighbours do nothing tends to bring the same customer back a month later. Student lets bring a different rhythm, with reports spiking when houses fill up or empty out. Industrial estates want scheduled inspections and evidence for audits.
We design for those patterns first. Underneath, the app records what UK law and the industry expect from every visit: products authorised by the Health and Safety Executive, professional rodenticides used within the stewardship rules set out by the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use, and the COSHH information for hazardous products. The capabilities below are what we would put on the table for a Manchester firm.
When several houses on the same street report rats, the app groups them into one programme. It records shared alleys, gardens and drain points, tracks which neighbours have agreed to treatment and schedules visits so the whole row is covered together.
Problems solved across a street, not chased house by house.
Many rat problems in older Manchester housing start with broken or disused drains. Technicians can attach drain camera footage, smoke test results and photos to the job, and pass a clear defect report to the homeowner, landlord or drainage contractor.
The source gets fixed instead of baited again and again.
Letting agents with houses in Fallowfield, Withington and Rusholme can book inspections in bulk for the weeks around move out and move in. Each house gets its own report, and agents see the whole portfolio's status in one list.
Houses checked and cleared before new tenants arrive.
Factories and warehouses at Trafford Park, along the Ship Canal and near the airport run scheduled inspections with monitored devices. The app maps each device, records activity and condition, and builds trend reports and corrective action logs for audits.
Site managers walk into an audit with their records ready.
Venues in the Northern Quarter, Ancoats, Spinningfields and on the Curry Mile often want visits outside opening hours. The planner supports early and late windows, and reports separate kitchen, cellar, bin store and front of house findings.
Treatments fit around service, and owners know what to fix.
Jobs are tagged by borough, from Manchester and Salford to Stockport, Bolton, Wigan and Oldham. Planners see travel time between them and cluster work by area, which matters on days when the M60 is slow.
Less time between jobs and more visits per technician.
Newer technicians can be set to need a senior colleague's review before certain jobs close, especially those using professional rodenticides. Their qualifications and supervised visits are logged until they are cleared to work alone.
Growing teams keep standards as new staff join.
Wasp nests in late summer and flies in warm spells can flood the phones. Online booking shows only real capacity, offers the next free slots and can switch to a waiting list when the day is full.
Busy weeks stay under control without missed calls.
Pigeons settle on the ledges and roofs of Manchester's converted mills, railway arches and warehouses. Technicians survey with photos and measurements, note access equipment, and record which Natural England general licence any control relies on. The survey becomes a proofing quote the client can accept in the portal.
Bird proofing quoted and won from a single site visit.
After each job the customer receives a report, an invoice they can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer, and a polite request to leave a review. Contract clients are billed on schedule instead.
Faster payment and a steadier flow of local reviews.
Who this is for
Greater Manchester's pest work is shaped by its housing and its industry. Domestic firms deal with terraces and student houses; contract firms deal with warehouses and food production; housing providers need case management for tenants. The right first release depends on which of these brings in your work, so here is what we would focus on for each.
A firm answering calls from Salford to Stockport needs fast booking, sensible routing and an app technicians actually like using. The first release usually covers online booking with real availability, the field app, customer reports and card payment. Street programmes follow once the team is comfortable, because they change how jobs are sold and planned. We also keep customer history by address, so a technician arriving at a repeat call sees what was done last time. For firms that also run a small contract book, recurring visits can sit in the same planner without a second system.
Most domestic firms start with booking and the field app.
Agents and landlords with houses near the universities need to show that pest reports were acted on, and to get houses ready between tenancies. Pests are among the hazards assessed under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, so records count. We build either a portal inside a pest firm's app or an agent side app that sends jobs to approved contractors, with tenant reporting, landlord approval and portfolio reports. Bulk bookings for the summer changeover can be made in one go, with each house tracked to a clear or follow up status.
Tenant details are shared only as far as each job needs under UK GDPR.
Firms looking after sites at Trafford Park and across the conurbation need device mapping, scheduled visits, corrective action tracking and audit exports. Offline working matters inside large sheds and old mill buildings with thick walls. A client portal lets each site's quality team see reports without asking, and multi site clients get one login for all of their locations. Recommendations such as sealing dock doors or improving waste storage are tracked with owners and due dates until the site closes them.
Social landlords and the contractors who serve them handle many tenant reports and need clear response and resolution records. The app takes reports from tenants by phone, web or app, triages them, assigns visits, and tracks repairs such as proofing that must go to the maintenance team. Managers see open cases by estate and how long each has been open. Reports can be exported for board papers or regulator queries without manual collation, and residents receive updates at each stage so they are not left wondering whether anyone is coming.
How we work together
Codeeo is based in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and has no office in Manchester or elsewhere in the UK. We work with Manchester clients remotely, holding discovery, design reviews and demos by video call and sending written notes after each one. Our team of 80+ has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and that experience shapes how we plan field service apps. Most firms start with a fixed scope first release, followed by a monthly arrangement for support and new features. What drives cost is the number of user types, the integrations required, the amount of existing data to bring across and how much of the feature list goes into the first release.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We normally build one cross platform app for Android and iPhone, with offline storage, photo and video capture, barcode scanning and a web based office and client portal on cloud hosting you control.

It depends on scope, and we price after discovery.
We do not quote a figure before we understand the work. The main factors are how many kinds of user the app serves, such as customers, technicians, office staff, landlords and site managers; which systems it connects to; how much existing data moves across; and how many features go into the first release. Discovery produces a written scope, and our price follows from that, so you can compare it properly. Phasing the work also spreads cost, with a lean first release followed by features that earn their place once the app is in use.
