At Formitize, we know that strong partnerships can make a real difference to the industries, technicians and consumers we support. One of our highly valued collaborators is Rapid Solutions, a longstanding leader in insurance and training for the pest control and property services industries.
We recently had the pleasure of catching up with Belinda Smith, CEO at Rapid Solutions, to talk about our ongoing relationship and the shared commitment we have to raising industry standards.
You can catch the highlights of our chat below.
A Quick Intro to Rapid Solutions
Rapid Solutions provides insurance, education and support tailored to pest management and building inspection professionals. “We ensure our clients have the tools and support they need to succeed,” says Belinda.
With a focus on compliance, training and client confidence, their values are exceedingly aligned with ours at Formitize, which is why the partnership has worked so well (and will continue to work well into the future).
Joining the Rapid Roadshow
We were thrilled to be invited to participate in Rapid Solutions’ national Pre-Purchase Inspection Roadshow events, where they brought together industry professionals to share best practices and promote clarity around inspection processes.
It was deeply enriching to be part of it and to lend our insights into how technology can streamline compliance and reporting two areas that are increasingly important for inspectors and business owners alike.
Belinda shared the goal of the roadshow was to help professionals walk away feeling informed and confident:
“We want attendees to understand exactly what’s expected of them and to be better equipped to do their jobs well. Collaborating with organisations like Formitize adds another layer of value.”
Why Rapid Solutions Recommends Formitize
When we asked why Formitize stands out in a crowded market of software solutions (and indeed, why the strong professional relationship continues), Belinda was candid:
“Formitize is easy to use, industry-aligned, and always evolving. We’ve seen our clients gain real efficiency and peace of mind through using it, especially when it comes to documentation and compliance.”
She also praised the combined effort to embed Rapid Solutions’ terminology and reporting preferences directly into the Formitize system, making it easier for users to comply with insurance and regulatory standards.
Preparing for the Industry’s Future
Both Rapid Solutions and Formitize have deep roots in the pest control industry, Rapid for more than 20 years, and Formitize for over a decade. Belinda sees increasing regulation, changing customer expectations, and the ongoing challenge of balancing quality with efficiency as key hurdles for businesses in the future.
That’s why collaboration matters more than ever.
“When companies like ours work together, we can deliver better tools, clearer guidance, and more confidence for our shared clients.”
Connecting at Pesticon
Belinda also highlighted the value of events like Pesticon, which both Rapid Solutions and Formitize regularly support.
“Industry events are incredibly important,” she said. “They’re where relationships are built, knowledge is shared, and innovation is showcased.”
A Partnership That Works
From aligning terminology to promoting better practices across the industry, the relationship between Rapid Solutions and Formitize is built on trust, expertise and a shared commitment to helping businesses succeed.
“We both want the same thing, for our clients to feel confident, supported, and ready for whatever’s next. That’s what makes this partnership such a success,” Belinda shared.
