Single Use Products Minimize Direct Labor Costs

The Problem: To mitigate measurement uncertainty and meet demanding schedules, over 50% of users in the United States overapply concentrated pesticides by 40%. 

This drives $3 billion in unnecessary annual overspending on chemicals.

The Solution: Pre-measured, Ready-To-Use formats are proven to reduce application errors by 90%, ensuring precision, protecting profit margins, and promoting safer practices.

At ProPortions, we deliver bespoke solutions meticulously crafted to address our partners' unique operational challenges. Through deep, collaborative engagement, we analyze their specific requirements and reverse-engineer innovative products from the ground up—ensuring seamless integration, optimized performance, and guaranteed success for their teams in the field.

Benefits of a Pre-Measured Pesticide

  1. Time Efficiency:

    • Pre-measured formulations eliminate the need for manual measuring, saving significant time during application.
    • Professionals can quickly deploy without delays, allowing them to focus on other tasks.
  2. Reduced Human Error:

    • Pre-measured products ensure consistent application rates, minimizing the risk of over- or under-application.
    • This consistency leads to better performance and reduces the likelihood of rework.
  3. Ease of Use:

    • These products are often designed for ready-to-use applications, requiring no additional equipment or expertise.
    • Ideal for both experienced workers and temporary labor, reducing training time.
  4. Safety:

    • Pre-measured pesticides reduce exposure to concentrated chemicals, lowering the risk of spills or accidental exposure.
    • This can lead to fewer safety incidents and associated downtime or costs.
  5. Portability and Convenience:

    • Our pre-measured pesticides come in small single-use containers, making them easy to transport and store.
    • This is particularly useful for mobile teams working across multiple sites.
  6. Cost Predictability:

    • The fixed dosage per unit ensures predictable costs per application, helping with budgeting and financial planning.

Impact on Direct Labor Costs

  1. Reduced Labor Hours:

    • By eliminating the need for measuring, workers spend less time on preparatory tasks, allowing them to cover more area in less time.
    • This directly reduces the number of labor hours required for pesticide application.
  2. Lower Training Costs:

    • Simplified application processes mean less training is needed for new or temporary workers.
    • This reduces training-related labor costs and speeds up onboarding.
  3. Minimized Rework:

    • Consistent application reduces the likelihood of ineffective treatments, which often require follow-up work.
    • Fewer repeat applications mean lower labor costs over time.
  4. Increased Productivity:

    • Workers can complete tasks faster, enabling them to take on more projects or focus on higher-value activities.
    • This improves overall labor efficiency and profitability.
  5. Reduced Downtime:

    • Fewer safety incidents or spills mean less downtime for cleanup or medical attention.
    • This ensures labor hours are spent on productive tasks contributing to a higher ROI.
