Every pool company starts with a sheet: one tab for customers, one for the route, one for money. It works right up until a tech skips a pool nobody notices, or an invoice never goes out.

Rebook a weekly clean when it’s marked done. Tell you the Hendricks gate code at the curb. Show the customer photos of the sparkling pool. Chase an overdue invoice at 2am. Order today’s stops so the truck stops zig-zagging across town.
Add your clients and pools (bulk import is on our board — vote for it), hit “Locate” to pin each property, set the weekly cleans once, and from then on the schedule runs itself. Most owners are moved in inside an evening.
Under ~10 pools and working alone? Keep the sheet, seriously. The switch is worth it the day someone else starts skimming for you — that’s when “what did my tech do today?” stops being answerable from a spreadsheet.
