About
TankHub is a purpose-built field service CRM tailored for businesses that run repeat, location-based visits — starting with aquarium maintenance and expanding to pool, lawn, HVAC, and similar recurring service industries. At its core, TankHub provides a mobile-first experience so technicians and owners can manage everything from their phone while in the field. The platform features a live Client Status Map that gives teams instant visibility into which clients are overdue or upcoming, eliminating the guesswork in daily planning. Smart Route Planning helps technicians sequence their stops efficiently, saving time and fuel across service runs. TankHub also handles scheduling for recurring appointments, full invoicing workflows for billing clients, and robust client management to track service history, notes, and account details. All features are included across plans, with pricing that scales by team size rather than by feature tier — making it accessible for solo operators as well as growing teams. Business owners benefit from the TankHub Team plan for multi-technician coordination, while solo operators can leverage the standard plan for streamlined day-to-day operations. A 45-day free trial with no credit card required lets new users explore the entire platform before committing. TankHub is ideal for field service entrepreneurs who want to professionalize their operations without complex enterprise software.
