About
Pool Office Manager (POM) is a purpose-built software platform for pool service and repair companies that need more than a generic field service tool. Unlike software designed for predictable, repeating routes, POM handles the unpredictable nature of real pool businesses — seasonal openings and closings, last-minute repairs, weather delays, multi-visit jobs, and chemical and inventory tracking. The platform offers a robust suite of tools: a drag-and-drop route and scheduling system that adapts to seasonal changes and emergencies; an invoicing and billing module that auto-generates invoices tied to completed work and syncs two-ways with QuickBooks; a CRM that converts calls into signed work orders with digital quotes, e-signatures, and contract storage; and an inventory system that tracks parts and chemicals in real time as jobs close. POM also includes a precision pool chemical calculator that provides exact dosing for chlorine, acid, and shock based on current readings — built for accuracy, safety, and consistency across all technicians. GPS tracking gives managers real-time visibility into technician locations and route progress. Customizable reporting tools help owners track profitability, technician performance, and chemical costs per customer. Pool Office Manager is ideal for small to mid-sized pool service businesses running cleanings, repairs, rentals, and commercial accounts. It offers a 30-day free trial and live support, making it accessible for companies ready to move off spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
