Pool service scheduling software that keeps every route in order

Set up recurring pool stops once

Most pool routes repeat. In Chlor you create a stop for a customer’s pool with the date, time, duration, service type and technician, then set it to repeat. Chlor fills the calendar from that series, so you are not re-entering the same customers every week.

• Customer, property and pool on every stop
• Date, time, duration, service type and notes
• Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or a custom frequency
• A technician assigned to each stop

When a customer moves their service day, Chlor asks whether to change just that stop or this and all future stops. Earlier stops, and the records saved on them, stay exactly as they were.

Move stops on a drag-and-drop calendar

The scheduling page shows the week or the day as a calendar or a list. Filter by technician, search for a customer and drag a stop to a new time. Chlor asks you to confirm a reschedule, so a stop never moves by accident.

Recurring schedules, the drag-and-drop calendar and nearby-stop ordering are included on both the Solo and Team plans. See the pricing page for the full list.

Order a technician’s day by nearby stops

Route view builds one technician’s day from the schedule and shows it as a list beside a map. Choose the starting point (your business address, another address or your current location) and whether the day ends back there.

• Nearby-stop ordering puts stops that are close together next to each other, with Undo if the order does not suit
• Reorder by hand with a drag handle, or with the keyboard
• Add a break, another customer or a custom stop
• Save the route for that technician and date, or reset it to the schedule
• Open the remaining stops in Google Maps for directions

Track every stop through the day

Each stop is waiting, in progress, completed or skipped. A skipped stop keeps its reason in its own field, and a stop started by mistake can go back to waiting while nothing has been recorded on it. The office can see where the day is up to as technicians start and finish their stops.

Technicians work the route from their phone in the Chlor field app, and every completed stop is ready to invoice in Chlor’s invoicing.

One-off jobs alongside the route

Repairs, installs and call-outs are jobs, kept separate from the regular stops so they do not clutter the recurring schedule. A dated job on a technician’s day is listed beside their route with directions to the address.
