In their own words
Pool IQ
Pool IQ combines route management, chemistry tracking, invoicing, and AI-assisted service notes for pool service teams. Route tools support daily planning, drag-and-drop stop ordering, drive-time estimates, and GPS navigation. Technicians can record chlorine, pH, alkalinity, CYA, and calcium readings; the software calculates a pool health score from 0 to 100. AI features include chemistry forecasting, profitability analysis, route optimization, anomaly and algae detection, and natural-language business questions. The service runs on the web and has mobile apps for iOS and Android. All plans include offline service logging, with automatic syncing when connectivity returns. QuickBooks invoice syncing is listed on paid plans from Pro upward. A free plan allows up to 25 clients and one technician, retains service history for 90 days, and includes three standard AI uses per month. Paid plans start with Pro at $29 a month. Plan limits vary by client and technician count, service history, and AI usage. Pool IQ supports CSV import for client and route data, with assisted onboarding on Business and higher plans.
