In their own words
OneBookPlus
OneBookPlus is software for pool service businesses managing recurring routes, water chemistry records, bookings and invoices. It supports weekly, fortnightly, monthly and seasonal schedules, can build route schedules and raise invoices automatically, and lets technicians record chlorine, pH, alkalinity, salt, stabiliser and dosed chemicals for each pool. Invoices calculate 10% GST, show the business ABN and provide a GST summary for BAS reporting. Its Free plan includes a booking page; paid plans include a hosted website. Starter and higher plans offer Stripe payments, which carry Stripe processing fees plus a OneBookPlus platform fee. The service lists integrations with Stripe, Google Calendar, Mailchimp, Google Ads and Facebook Ads; Xero Sync and ATO Tax Lodgement are in development. A native app is available for iPhone and iPad, alongside a web app recommended for Android users. Plans include Free at free, Starter at A$29 a month, Plus at A$49 a month and Growth at A$69 a month. The maker says business records are encrypted and hosted in AWS Sydney.
