Five reasons pool pros switch to Ernie

One flat-rate plan. Everything your office and your trucks need to run a pool service business, no per-tech fees, no surprise add-ons.

Flat pricing, no surprises

$24.99/mo for up to 5 techs. $5/mo per additional seat. No per-visit fees, no per-truck fees, no percentage of revenue. Your ten-truck month costs the same as your three-truck month.

Smart route optimization

Ernie's AI sequences your routes to minimize drive time. Add a new customer in Plano and the app re-routes the rest of the week automatically.

QuickBooks export

Download your invoices and customer list as a QuickBooks-ready CSV. Upload it to QBO in 30 seconds. No OAuth headaches.

CRM with automatic email + SMS

Service reports auto-send after each stop. Invoice reminders. Review-collection emails. SMS skip notices. The customer comms that used to live in a separate tool now live in Ernie.

Works offline

Service the basement-equipment-room pool with no signal. Photos, signatures, and chemistry all save locally and sync when you're back online.

Under the hood

Everything you need to run the business, in one place

Ernie replaces the routing tool, the invoicing tool, the work-order tracker, the inventory spreadsheet, and the "notes app on your phone," all working off one customer record.

Drag-and-drop dispatch & route building

Visually build weekly routes on a map. Drag stops between days, reassign techs in a click, and let AI optimize the order automatically. Add a customer mid-week and the rest of the schedule re-routes. Calendar view for the dispatcher, mobile route view for the truck.

Invoicing, payments & customer portal

Auto-generate invoices from completed stops. Send a Stripe-powered payment link by email. The customer pays via card or ACH without creating an account. Token-protected customer portal shows their visit history, photos, and outstanding invoices. Optional Stripe Connect routes funds straight to your bank.

Work orders & service visit log

Schedule one-off jobs (acid wash, filter clean, equipment repair) with priority, photos, signatures, and parts used. Every recurring visit logs chemistry, dosages, before/after photos, GPS check-in, and the tech's notes, searchable per pool, forever. Customer signature captured on the truck.

Inventory & shopping list

Track chemicals and parts across the warehouse. Every dosage logged on a visit auto-decrements stock. Low-stock thresholds generate a shopping list the moment supply dips. Equipment maintenance reminders auto-create work orders when a 90-day filter clean comes due, so you never miss a recurring service touch.

In the office and in the truck

One app, two surfaces

Office staff get a desktop dashboard with route maps, customer CRM, work order kanban, and invoicing. Field techs get a mobile-ready app (works on any phone, even without signal) with their day's route, tap-to-navigate, and one-tap chemistry logging.

Pool pros who switched

What our customers say

We switched from Skimmer and dropped our software bill from $800 to $50 a month. AI service notes alone save my techs 30 minutes a day.

The chemistry alerts caught a low-chlorine drift at one of our routes before the customer even noticed. That's the kind of thing that turns into churn. We save the relationship and the upsell.

I'm not technical. I tried Jobber and it took my whole staff a week to figure out. Ernie I had set up over a weekend. Bills go out the same day the tech finishes.
