Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Administrative Tool!" April 16, 2021 5.0 Constant communication with clients at every service call, and detailed. Pros Keeps great records of all invoices and history, easy to use, records all client service calls, monthly billing can't be any easier! Cons Data entry of clients from old billing program. Reason 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. Very helpful and professional! Switched from [OrderWise](https://www.capterra.com/p/116009/OrderWise/) I needed something web based, no more backups Review Source JD Joel D. Owner Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Killer software for pool pros" March 3, 2020 5.0 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. Reason 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.

Poor Execution" January 27, 2021 1.0 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. Review Source TW Travis W.

I've tried and used at least a dozen, and I've beta tested software for other companies. This is hands down the easiest to use. Best thing is the billing. Fastest, easiest, best way to get invoices into customers hands. Cons Nothing worth mentioning. All small minor things that are all ready in the works of being updated!

" January 24, 2020 5.0 I have had a great experience and I’m very pleased that I decided to purchase it. My guys are loving it and it’s so easy to track daily logs and routes etc. They offer many options some I’m just finding after using it for almost two years now. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] are great and always quick to help out when we need a little help. I would recommend this to anyone that is in the pool service industry. Great product ! Pros I’m not the best at navigating software , this is super easy. I like how relevant it is to all our needs in pool cleaning and what is offered. Cons My guys bugging me about how much they love it and how easy it is to keep track of everything.

I’ve been in the business for over 20 years and finally have an easy way to meet all my billing needs. I went from 6 hours of billing miserableness to completely done in an hour. Thank you so much.

Controller Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Disappointed:-(" February 8, 2020 1.0 Program is very basic and makes invoicing a hassle. There is no calendar schedule to route valets and repairs together. Pros The overall program doesnt offer as many features as other pool field service programs. Cons Customer support was unprofessional and unresponsive.

Gets caught in a loop. There is no app for mobile. Cons Cant rin the damn thing so cant really say Review Source Response from Paythepoolman July 11, 2019 We are sorry to hear that you had trouble with Paythepoolman. You would not complete your mailing address in the company information page and therefore could not go into the program as the pop warned you. Paythepoolman is built on being mobile and currently services hundreds of companies for their day to day operations, management of employees and routes in the field. We hope you can find a software package that can suite your needs. Thank you and have a great day :) JC Jason C.
