In their own words
Paythepoolman
Paythepoolman is pool service software for handling billing, payments, route management, GPS tracking, bids, leads, payroll and business records. Run Billing generates invoices for a selected customer cycle in one batch, with late fees, statements and QuickBooks sync. Payments can include cards, autopay, ACH, Apple Pay and Google Pay; ACH and wallet payments require the Pool Junction add-on. Route tools offer one-click optimization, live progress and technician GPS trails without additional hardware. Paythepoolman Plus is the technician app, while the optional branded Pool Junction app lets customers view balances, invoices, bids, service history and messages. Other tools include lead management, contactless bidding, financial records, bank feeds, task and project management, and fleet management. Listed integrations include QuickBooks Online sync, a QuickBooks Desktop importer, Orenda and LaMotte SpinTouch. The subscription is $50 base plus $15 per technician, or $65/mo for one technician; each technician needs an account. Add-ons, card processing and text credits cost extra. A 30-day trial is available.
