Does it work where there is no signal?

Yes. You can log a visit, enter readings and take photos with no connection. The app stores the visit on the phone and syncs it when you are back in range.

Do I need a Stripe account?

Only to take card payments. Payments go through your own Stripe account at Stripe’s rates, and payouts land in your bank. You can use Skimlog for routes, logs and invoices without one and get paid however you do now.

Pro is $49 a month, or $37 a month billed yearly, for up to 50 pools. Growth is $99 a month, or $74 billed yearly, for up to 150 pools and five users. Business is $0.89 per pool per month, or $0.67 billed yearly, with unlimited pools and users. The 14-day trial takes no credit card.

Can my customers see their own service history?

Yes. Each customer gets a portal with their visit history, chemistry readings, photos, invoices and quotes, and they can send service requests from it.

Is there an app to install?

Skimlog runs in the phone browser and installs to the home screen like an app, offline support included. There is also an Android build.

Run the whole route from your phone.

Skimlog is pool service software for stops, water chemistry, photos and getting paid. It keeps working when the signal drops.

What Skimlog does not do

Better to know now than after you have moved your accounts across.

No text messages

Customers hear from you by email: service reports, invoices and review requests. There is no SMS.

No accounting sync

Nothing connects to QuickBooks or Xero. Invoices and payments live in Skimlog and in your Stripe account.

Stripe account required for cards

Card payments run through your own Stripe account, on Stripe’s fees. Skimlog does not hold your money.

No payroll or parts ordering

This runs a pool route. It is not a payroll system and it does not order inventory.

Pricing

Fourteen days free. No credit card to start, and no contract.
