How is Skimmer different from generic field service tools?

Skimmer is purpose-built for pool service. The workflows, terms, and features match how pool pros actually work, so your team spends less time adapting the tool and more time serving customers

How long does it take to migrate from our current tool to Skimmer?

Our data migration team can guide you through exporting data, cleaning it up, and importing it into Skimmer.
