About
Skimmer is built around the pool route rather than the ticket: a tech works a list of pools on a schedule, logs chemical readings and photos at each stop, and the invoice goes out automatically. Pricing scales with pool count rather than user seats — from a $49/month Getting Started tier through Scaling Up at $98/month plus $2/pool/month, with custom Enterprise pricing above 1,000 pools — which fits how a pool route business actually grows.
Use Cases
- Running a daily or weekly pool service route
- Logging chemical readings and photos at each stop
- Auto-invoicing customers off the completed route
- Scaling pricing predictably as the pool count grows
