Pool service is a recurring route business. BY5 runs the route, bills it automatically, and documents every visit — you build the service menu and price it your way.
Weekly and biweekly cadences with autopay turn a season of visits into automatic revenue — no chasing checks after every stop.
Assign and sequence visits with live load scoring and route optimization so techs spend the day on pools, not driving.
Before/after photos and visit notes are tied to the job, so "did they come?" and water-quality questions are settled by the record.
Everything you need to run the work — quote to cash — in one place.
Price weekly maintenance, one-time cleans, openings and closings, and repairs by pool size and service type with the quote engine.
Weekly, biweekly, and seasonal cadences with frequency discounts that rebill the card on file automatically.
Keep chlorine, acid, and supplies in inventory so what you use on the route is accounted for.

Pool service is a route business wearing a field-service costume. The unit of work isn’t the job — it’s the stop, repeated weekly, forever. Software built for one-off jobs makes you re-create that stop fifty-two times a year, and it makes billing an evening hobby. Meanwhile the two questions that actually kill pool companies go unanswered: did the tech really service the pool, and did the customer really get billed?
BY5 answers both structurally. Weekly and biweekly cadences put every pool on a standing route, and card-on-file autopay bills each visit — or the month — without you touching it. On every stop, photos and visit notes attach to the job, so proof-of-service is the default, not a favor you ask of your techs. You price your own service menu with the quote engine — weekly maintenance, one-time cleans, openings and closings, repairs — at your rates, by pool size and service type.
Setup is a week, not a quarter. Build your service menu, quote your existing accounts onto cadences, and let clients sign electronically. From there the calendar fills itself: each tech opens the crew app in the morning, sees the day’s stops in order, clocks in at the first gate, and works pool to pool. Assignments use live load scoring so the day is balanced — and on Pro and up, route optimization tightens the drive between stops.
Chemicals stay accounted for: chlorine, acid, and supplies live in inventory, with mixing and dilution charts on a printable QR card at the trailer. The customer sees it all from the portal — upcoming visits, invoices, a tip button — and the "did anyone come today?" phone call quietly disappears from your afternoon.
BY5 fits the solo operator running eighty pools out of a pickup, the shop balancing a storefront with service routes, and the company scaling to multiple techs and trucks — every plan includes unlimited field techs. If your route lives in your head and your billing lives in a binder, this is the system that takes both and gives you your evenings back.
Start free — no credit card required. Paid plans from $39/mo, and every plan includes unlimited crew members.
A solo route runs on Solo — quoting, per-visit autopay, and the tech app. Multi-tech pool companies pick Starter for dispatch, the booking site, SMS, and chemical inventory.
