FieldRoutes calls it: Product, Concentrated, Measurement Type
From a read-only look at the FieldRoutes account on 2026-11-02 and its official manuals. Each line ends with its evidence: Observed in the account, Documented in a manual, or not tested. Capture numbers link to the screen below. All of FieldRoutes across the 20 blocks
In FieldRoutes this block has three parts. First, a product catalog of the chemicals and other treatment products a company uses, with units, dilution and regulatory metadata. Second, a set of Inventory pages under Reporting that track and hand out stock. Third, state pesticide-use reports built from recorded applications. Small dictionaries support it: application methods, target areas and target issues, spray rigs and vendors. The research has 33 screenshots for this block (23 placed here and 10 from other blocks). They cover the Admin setup pages, all seven Inventory pages and all four State Chemical report formats. The product catalog is populated (39 products, most with an active-ingredient label); everything else is configuration or empty report states. No product was saved, no stock was moved, and no application was recorded or reported.
In short
Products is a treatment catalog with rich metadata: EPA number, manufacturer, three kinds of unit (concentrated, diluted, inventory), dilution and mix ratio, SDS and label links, application method and rate, Chemical or Non-Chemical type, target areas and issues, a Sentricon bait flag, "Available To WDO" and a California pest-control use code (Observed, 172-settings-product-form).
Inventory is an operating tool that sits under Reporting, not only an analytics view. Manage Inventory and Distribute Inventory both have an Update Inventory button that changes stock (Observed, not executed, 106-reporting-inventory, 499-distribute-inventory-revisited).
Stock moves under five change types: New, Returned, Correction, Used and Distributed. Stock goes from the office to employees through Distribute Inventory (Observed, 109-inventory-changes).
Service Types tie products to services. Allowed Products limits which products a service may use (blank means all). A separate setting can hide products used from the customer (Observed, 135-settings-service-type-form).
Stored regulatory fields are metadata only. They do not prove compliant reporting, safe use or label accuracy (research caution, repeated across the dump).
Each capture is a saved screen state from the FieldRoutes account on 2026-11-02. A screen shows what controls exist; it does not prove what happens when they are used.

How FieldRoutes does it
Setting up products (observed as forms only, nothing saved).
An admin adds a product under Products.
The product gets an identity: name, label, EPA number and manufacturer.
It gets units, dilution, active percentage, mix ratio, application method and rate, and the Chemical or Non-Chemical type.
It is linked to target areas and target issues, plus the Sentricon, WDO and California code flags.
Active ingredients are added through an Add control. That child editor was not opened.
Two different help prompts appear. On the Products page a step dialog ("Adding a new product || Step 1") asks "Would you like help adding a new product?" with Yes, No and Close (173-product-onboarding-help). A separate "Need help adding Products?" banner with "Click 'Products' to get started!" appears on other Service Related pages such as Condition Types and Service Types. Neither was followed; dismissing creates nothing. Merge Products exists but was not run, so its rules and its effect on history are unknown. (admin findings)
Linking products to services (observed configuration).
Each Service Type has an Allowed Products list. The UI states that a blank selection allows all products.
Each Service Type has a "Suppress Products Used from Cust." Yes/No setting. Which customer outputs it changes is unverified.
Field use (configuration observed, runtime untested).
Mobile Service defaults include "Require Products to Complete Appt", so a technician may need a product record before a visit can be completed (183-mobile-service-default-editor).
Spray Rigs define a rig and its license number. No assignment to a technician, vehicle or chemical use was observed.
The research did not test native mobile completion or inventory posting. (assessment)
Stock movement (observed screens, all empty, no update executed).
The office sees stock in Manage Inventory. The grid has name, manufacturer, vendor, in stock, inventory change, reason, notes, value, unit value and updated amount. The office adjusts stock with Update Inventory.
The office hands stock to employees in Distribute Inventory. It sets a distribution amount and a Distributed To employee, then uses Update Inventory.
Movement is recorded as New, Returned, Correction, Used or Distributed.
The Chemical Tracking Report shows movement and value over a period: starting quantity and value, increase, decrease, correction, current quantity and value, and unit value, with a totals row.
The Inventory Changes Report lists changes by day, week or month. Its help text says the Employee sub-group always shows Returned and Distributed, and the Vendor sub-group only shows New Inventory. These grouping scopes matter when you reconcile stock.
The Employee Usage Report (grid titled "Technician Usage Report") is filtered by employees and lists rows per product (Name, Manufacturer): distributed quantity and value, used quantity and value, number of applications, and amount and value on truck, with value totals. It was empty. (reporting findings)
State reporting (observed rendered states, no filing).
Choose a State format and a date range.
Narrow by employees, customer IDs, manufacturers, products, states, divisions, flags, license numbers, counties and type.
Generate the report, then Export to Excel or Print Report. New York adds Export to PRL.
What each format showed:
Standard rendered only its heading.
California rendered the state's monthly summary pesticide use form, filtered to one county. It has operator ID, license number, county, month and year, and per product the manufacturer, EPA or California registration number, total used, number of applications, site treated and acres or units. Total applications were 0.
New York and Ohio showed an "invalid office license number, must be 5 digits" warning. The license was not changed.
Ohio shows an empty table with page size (25/50/100/250/500) and page-number controls. Its counter reads "1 to 0 of 0"; treat this as empty paging, not one result.
The California School & Day Care Report is a separate page with Export To PDF. Its School Report table lists name, address, sub-property type, county, date, location, manufacturer, chemical name, EPA number, amount and pest control code. (reporting findings)
The inventory report filters offer 37 products and 18 manufacturers plus "(No Manufacturer)" (Chemical Tracking, Employee Usage and State Chemical pages); the Vendors filter offers only "No Vendor Assigned" (108-inventory-chemical-tracking).
Product Name (required); product label; office scope; visibility; save / cancel
Regulatory metadata

Rich-text caution text on service notifications and follow-up emails; existing wording is not proof of compliance (302-communication-section-21-editor)
What the research did not prove
No product, application method, spray rig or vendor was saved. Merge Products was not run.
The active-ingredient child editor was not opened. The SDS and label links were not opened or validated.
Stored EPA, label, dilution and California code fields are not proof of regulatory compliance, safe use, label accuracy or legal reporting.
Calculator: the result line is cut off in both screenshots (174, 545). Conversion accuracy and cross-dimension checks are unverified.
Every Inventory grid was empty or zero. No Update Inventory or distribution was run. The research did not show units or value reconciliation, or what happens when you select a product or a recipient.
No populated example exists for movement, distribution, application or zero-amount applications. No CSV, Excel, PDF, PRL or Print output was obtained.
State reports:
Standard rendered a heading only.
California covers one county with zero applications, not a statewide report.
New York and Ohio are blocked by the license warning.
No accepted filing, license validity or specialist acceptance was established.
Native mobile product recording and inventory posting were not tested. Spray rig assignment to a technician or vehicle was not seen.
Vendors: the list is empty, and whether the inventory Vendors filter reads from it is unverified. It has no procurement workflow.
Whether "Available To WDO" or the Sentricon flag drive any workflow is unknown.
Ideas for Our CRM
Agent proposals, not decisions
Proposal: keep the product catalog (regulatory metadata and units) separate from stock movements and from per-visit application records, as FieldRoutes does.
Proposal: model stock movement with explicit types (new, returned, correction, used, distributed) and an office-to-technician distribution step.
Proposal: treat state report formats as per-state templates that need valid license data, and have a business specialist validate each output before calling it compliant (assessment acceptance question).
Proposal: in acceptance tests, check application units and inventory reconciliation, required-product enforcement at completion, and offline recovery (assessment acceptance questions).
Proposal: decide early whether zero-amount applications count in usage and state reports, since FieldRoutes exposes this as a report switch.
