Yes — pool pros can run their entire route, residential and commercial alike, from Skimmer's mobile app on iOS and Android, which gives technicians their daily stops and gives admins live control from the field, online or offline.
Pool pros can provide proof of service by capturing required on-site photos, logging chemical readings and tasks on timestamped service records, and sending customers photo-backed service reports — including before-and-after shots — that show exactly what was done.
Pool company owners can track profitability, technician performance, and job completion in real time through Skimmer's route dashboard for live progress and the profitability report for revenue and labor insights, with completion data flowing in automatically from the field.
Pool pros track chemical readings and dosages per visit by logging them in the Skimmer app as they service each pool — entering each reading, using a built-in dosing calculator to apply the right amount, and having every entry saved automatically to that pool's service history.
Pool pros can send service reports automatically after each visit by turning on Skimmer's service emails — the "digital door hanger" proof-of-service report that goes out to the customer as soon as a stop is marked complete.
Pool pros can manage inventory, chemicals, and recurring service checklists through a combination of shopping lists, chemical dosage tracking, and three dedicated recurring scheduling tools — all connected to each stop and customer record.
The tools that help pool pros send automated texts, emails, and broadcast messages about route changes are broadcast emails for notifying groups of affected customers, and automated service texts for stop-level updates like a skipped visit.
Pool pros can cut drive time and fuel costs by running each day's route through Skimmer's route optimizer, auditing high-mileage days on the route dashboard, and building routes around fixed start and end points so technicians stop driving back and forth.
