Who is It’s Giving Pool for?
Pool service companies running roughly 1 to 5 trucks — owner-operators and small teams handling weekly residential and light commercial routes. If you’re managing pools from a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or your memory, you’re who we built this for.
I’m a solo operator. Is this overkill?
No. Solo operators use it to plan their own week, keep per-pool service history, and stop re-deriving the route every Monday. You’ll grow into the dispatch features when you hire your first tech — without switching tools.
How long does setup take?
One call. We load your client list (spreadsheet, export from another tool, or photos of your route book — we’ve seen everything), set up your techs, and build your first week of routes with you. Most companies are dispatching from it within a week.
Do my techs need to learn new software?
Techs see a simple day view: their stops in order, with the pool’s details and history. At the pool, a guided completion flow walks them through readings, chemicals, and before-and-after photos. If they can use a phone, they can use this.
How does route planning actually work?
You assign jobs to a tech and a date, then optimize. You get the stop order, total miles, and estimated drive time — and you can reorder stops when you know something the map doesn’t.
What gets recorded at each visit?
Chemical readings (chlorine, pH, alkalinity), chemicals and supplies used, whether the filter was cleaned, notes, before-and-after photos, and a timestamp — plus a GPS check when techs complete from their phone. It all lands on the pool’s permanent history, and chemicals logged at the stop draw down your inventory automatically.
What does it cost after the pilot?
Your founding rate is locked for 12 months, and you keep everything — clients, history, routes. There’s no contract at any tier, so the pricing only survives if the product keeps earning it.
What kind of support do I get?
Direct access to the team that builds the product — email with same-day responses during the season. We’re small enough that you’ll talk to the person who can actually fix your issue.
You’re early-stage. What if you disappear?
Fair question. You’re month-to-month, your data is exportable anytime, and pilot companies get direct access to the founder. We’d rather earn your trust each month than lock you into a contract.
I’m on another tool or spreadsheets now. How painful is switching?
We do the migration for you. Send us whatever you have and we’ll have your clients, pools, and recurring schedules loaded before your onboarding call.
How is this different from generic field service software?
Generic tools treat a pool stop like any job ticket. We track what actually matters at a pool: chemical readings, equipment notes, gallons, targets, supplies used, and a per-pool service history. And it’s flat pricing — not per-tech.
Does it handle invoicing and payments?
Not yet. Each job tracks its charge amount and revenue reporting is built in, but most pilot companies run QuickBooks alongside for invoicing. We’d rather be excellent at routes and service records than mediocre at everything.
