Case Study: C4 Spraying LLC

Company: C4 Spraying LLC
Owner: Derek Chisum
Started with SPRAYE: February 2021
Previous CRM: Manual (Excel, Paper Logs)

Company Background

C4 Spraying LLC, owned and operated by Derek Chisum, is an eco-friendly company offering turf care and pest control. When Derek first started using SPRAYE in early 2021, he was managing most of the business manually—jotting down customer info on paper, managing chemical logs by hand, and entering customer data into spreadsheets at night.

With a growing customer base and expanding service lines, Derek needed a system that would reduce the manual load and streamline the core operations of his business.

Challenges Before SPRAYE

C4 Spraying’s early systems were heavily manual and time-consuming:

• Office Admin Load: Derek spent 16–20 hours per week handling back-office tasks like scheduling, invoicing, and routing.
• Compliance Burden: Chemical and weather record-keeping consumed about 12 hours per day, including filling out paper records for each job, filing them, and prepping for the next day.
• Mobile Limitations: Adding new customers had to wait until he got home and could access his Excel files, delaying responses and adding friction.

Solution: Choosing SPRAYE

SPRAYE offered Derek a streamlined, mobile-friendly system that could handle the heavy lifting:

• On-the-go access to customer records
• Automated chemical and weather tracking
• Easy scheduling and routing
• Responsive customer support and product feedback loop

With SPRAYE, Derek could serve customers better, grow faster, and spend significantly less time buried in paperwork.

Results and Outcomes

In just over three years, C4 Spraying has seen dramatic improvements in efficiency, scalability, and customer service:

• Customer Growth:
  From roughly 200 to 575 active properties
• Revenue Growth:
  Annual revenue jumped from $125,000 to $300,000
• Time Savings:
  • Admin work decreased from 16–20 hours to just 1–3 hours per week
  • Chemical/weather documentation time dropped from 12 hours/day to zero
• Scalability:
  • Grew from 3 to 8 employees (noting that some of this is due to new service lines)
  • Can now onboard new customers immediately from the field using SPRAYE’s mobile interface

Chemical and weather tracking is as simple as clicking a button. If someone calls with a question or payment, I can access their account from anywhere.
My favorite part of SPRAYE is hands down the customer service. The SPRAYE team is second to none—they listen to our suggestions and always address any issues immediately.”
