One of the primary concerns for many pool professionals is maintaining the same level of quality service as they expand their business. This is a common concern and growing pain for all service-based businesses — not being able to provide the same caliber of service and potentially harming their reputation. 

We understand this struggle and have designed Skimmer with features to help you grow without compromising the quality of your service. With Skimmer, you can expand your business and maintain exceptional service simultaneously. Our customer communications and tech accountability tools, including Service Reports, checklists for techs, and automated invoicing with Skimmer Billing, all contribute to upholding the high standards you've set for your business.

The Service Report email, for instance, enables you and your customer to monitor the work performed by your techs, ensuring they meet your expectations. This level of oversight not only helps maintain or improve the quality of service but also boosts customer satisfaction, ultimately contributing to the growth of your business.

5. Improved customer communication

Tools like the Service Report and Broadcast Emails truly set Skimmer apart by empowering pool pros to improve customer communication, reduce complaints, and enhance the quality of service. With these features, you can streamline and organize customer records all within a single app, making your operations more efficient and responsive.

The Service Report lets you keep customers informed about the work performed on their pools, giving them peace of mind and fostering trust in your services. By providing detailed, transparent communication, you can prevent misunderstandings and ensure your clients are always satisfied with the service they receive.

Broadcast Emails are another powerful tool in Skimmer's arsenal. They allow you to easily communicate important information to your customers, such as price changes, special offers, new pool tech introductions, or general marketing emails. Keeping your customers in the loop can strengthen relationships, build loyalty, and ultimately grow your business.

Skimmer's emphasis on effective customer communication fosters a strong connection between you and your clients. By using Skimmer, you'll provide exceptional service and create lasting relationships that will propel your pool business to new heights.
