Pool route, seasonal opening/closing & build benchmarks
Most openings (late April–May) and winter closings (Sept–Oct) cluster into tight 5-week windows—zone-batched scheduling is the only way to survive them.
Logging shock, stabilizer, salt bags, O-rings and skimmer baskets right on the mobile job checklist prevents giving away $3,000+ of free chemicals per truck each summer.
With gate codes, gallonage and previous pH/FC readings on the tech’s phone, weekly vacuum + balance visits stay predictable.
Tracking heater age and liner condition in CRM custom fields lets you quote off-season replacements with structured deposit milestones.
