Managing a pool business presents unique challenges, from keeping track of inventory to ensuring timely customer service. The right software can transform these challenges into opportunities for efficiency and growth. 

In this blog, we’ll explore the top features you should expect from software for your swimming pool business. Discover how these powerful tools can streamline your operations, boost profitability, and enhance customer satisfaction, making your business run more smoothly than ever.

There are many tools to choose from for managing a pool and spa business, and the list of features can be long. We’ve spent decades helping pool business owners like you drive greater profits by offering exceptional customer service, managing costs more effectively, and running the business more efficiently overall. Here are some of the most effective features we offer:

Mobile Live

With Mobile Live, your service technicians have the power of our software right in the field, even in your customer’s backyard. This feature allows techs to easily upsell chemicals and equipment on-site, access essential customer information for improved satisfaction, and take payments directly at the job site. Additionally, technicians can send electronic door hangers to notify customers of completed work, include before-and-after photos, and even send a picture of the technician who did the work. It’s all about enhancing customer experience and streamlining operations.

Inventory Management

Our robust inventory management tools cover purchasing, receiving, and AP costing, helping you catch billing errors and adjust retail prices as costs change. This feature lets you quickly see if a vendor has double-billed you, potentially saving you thousands of dollars. It also helps you manage pricing for all products, ensuring you capture cost increases and maintain profit margins. Plus, it tracks inventory locations to prevent loss and theft, giving you peace of mind about your stock.

Accounts Receivable

Simplify your accounts receivable with automated invoice generation and emailing, offering customers the convenience of online payments. This feature eliminates the need for manually mailing invoices, saving on stamps, labor, and time spent processing incoming checks. It also streamlines follow-ups, reducing the workload and associated costs significantly

Route Optimization

Optimize your service routes with our route optimization feature. It helps your technicians use the most efficient routes, saving money on vehicle wear and tear and allowing you to fit more jobs into each day. This means increased productivity and more revenue opportunities for your business.

Picking the right software to manage your pool and spa business is crucial for efficiency, profitability, and peace of mind. Here’s why our software stands out as the top choice.

We support on-premise setups that work with your existing hardware, saving you from unnecessary expenses and headaches, and will continue to do so in the future.
