In their own words
Pool Office Manager
Pool Office Manager is software for seasonal pool service and repair companies, combining scheduling, chemicals, inventory, quotes, contracts, invoicing, and reporting. It handles recurring and one-off jobs, weather delays, technician status and progress, and route optimization. Its iOS and Android app syncs job details with the office and includes a chemistry calculator that calculates dosing from entered readings.
Inventory tools track chemicals and parts by warehouse or vehicle and include barcode scanning. GPS features provide live tracking, historical location records, and map-based appointment views. For billing, POM creates one-off, recurring, and bulk invoices, supports custom chemical billing, and offers two-way QuickBooks synchronization. CRM functions include text and email quotes, digital signatures, automatic contract storage, and conversion from quote to job to invoice. It also provides customizable service reports, job-cost and service-time analysis, and an API for data exchange. Pricing starts at $125/mo, and a 30-day trial is available. Texting costs $10.00 monthly plus $0.02 per SMS message or picture sent through the application.
