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.

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.

Pool Guy is a mobile and web app for pool service businesses and sole traders to manage customer pools, schedules, chemistry, repairs and billing. It is exclusively for businesses; individual pool owners cannot register or access it. Customer records can contain multiple pools, specifications, service histories, visit logs and photos. Chemical dosage calculators accompany tools for recording water readings, applications and chemistry trends. Businesses can schedule recurring visits, create invoices, track payments and manage repair work orders, parts and profitability; payment processing itself is excluded from billing and revenue tracking. Owner, Admin and Technician roles support team access, and multiple companies can keep subscriptions and data separate. Technicians can record data poolside offline and sync when connectivity returns. The app runs on Android, iOS and web, with requirements including iOS 13 or later, Android 6.0 or later, a modern browser and internet access. New users receive a 30-day free trial that requires payment details and automatically converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled. Subscription tiers set usage limits; exceeding them can restrict features or adding records.
