Switched from [OrderWise](https://www.capterra.com/p/116009/OrderWise/) I needed something web based, no more backups Reasons for choosing Paythepoolman I met \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] at the Western pool show in Long Beach, he was a former pool service owner operator, he knows the business and programming.

Poor Execution" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 27, 2021 PPTM is marketed to be full service software for a pool service company. This includes invoicing, general accounting, routing, capturing service visit info, repair visits, etc. It does a lot of things but none of them well. I get charged $50/mo for subpar accounting/invoicing capability - my accounting software does a much better software at invoicing, accounting, CRM, and inventory at 60% of the total cost of PPTM. The PLUS features are full of defects and the dev team is focusing on new features (integration with bluetooth measurement devices) that provide no value to me. This statement actually applies to the whole product, not just PLUS. Bottom line is I am paying $70 to $90 a month (depending on how many techs I have on the payroll any given month) for something that provides much less value than my accounting software ($32/mo). I have started developing my own routing/service management software so I can stop using PPTM. Pros Unfortunately I have nothing positive to say about this software. I really wish I did. Cons This software is full of defects and the user experience is subpar. Here's a few examples: The customer facing communications are poorly written and there is no way to edit/customize them. Specifically the statements and late notices. The PLUS feature (extra $10/mo per user) has these swipe bands to take chemical readings. About 30% of the time, no matter how many times you press a value it is not saved. Error handling is non-existent. If I scroll too fast, it will reload the page and lose everything I have entered. Sometimes it will send the summary to customer when this happens - with a lot of missing data. There is also no final confirmation - "ready to notify customer?" so you have no idea when the service summary is sent.

Owner Recreational Facilities and Services ### "Killer software for pool pros" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 3, 2020 It’s the best thing that happened to the pool industry. I get paid, my clients get reports, I have chemical records, I know where I stand every month in terms of money billed, received and owed. Pros It’s super easy to use. I literally walked myself through the set up process. Cons There’s a learning curb to everything. That being said...I had to learn the language used in this software vs. my old software. Reasons for choosing Paythepoolman I pricked PTPM because it does it all. Billing, routing, receive payments, invoices, text reminders, mass emails, digital door hangers with pictures, ect...other softwares were every difficult to navigate and offered limited services.

We hope you can find a software package that can suite your needs. Thank you and have a great day :) GD Greg D. Owner Chemicals ### "Help for the Pool Pro!
