Pool route software: scheduling and route optimization
Weekly pool service is a route business: the same pools on the same day each week, with the order of stops deciding how many pools a tech can do. Pool route software builds and reorders routes, and handles one-off moves when a tech is out or the weather turns.
What matters for this job
- Check how pricing grows: per pool, per tech or per user changes the math a lot.
- Look for drag-and-drop moves for a single week without changing the regular route.
- Make sure techs can see gate codes and notes for each stop on their phone.
