Feedback

Hi Tawana! Thanks for the great review! We're happy to take those headaches away! Give support a shout next time something isn't working in real-time and we'll be happy to troubleshoot. Again, thanks for the 5-star review! 

They seem to be consistently doing updates and customer service has been great. I tried several programs for this and even tried one while simultaneously using Skimmer. In my opinion Skimmer was by far the best. 

Skimmer - as a pool pro with small number if pools i cannot imagine not using this with dozens or even hundreds of pools

Thanks for the amazing review, Eric! We'd be happy to walk you through setting up chemical dosages and values and customizing those for your needs. Give our support team a call at (480) 718 - 2158.

Hi Nat! Thanks for the great feedback and the five stars! I'm glad we're suiting your needs better than your previous software provider. We hear you on billing in advance. Check out the FAQ here for two methods and give our support team a shout if you need additional assistance! https://help.getskimmer.com/article/168-skimmer-billing-faq-invoicing

The support at Skimmer is fantastic. They can help you navigate the program well and can find ways to adapt to different service models. 

Great application for pool service professionals

Thanks for the great review, Theresa! We hear you on the bill ahead feature. We're working on functionality to select a month to bill for, even if not work has happened in the current month, which should solve this for you. I hope we can earn five stars once we do! :) 

Great program that helps our business

Skimmer Recommendation

Wow! Thanks for the awesome five star review, Wayne! We certainly appreciate it, and glad you're making use of many of our features (and our awesome support team!) :)

Love it worth every penny. I would pay more per month even after the increase. 

Cody Haberman owner 

Thanks for the most excellent review and fantastic product feedback, Cody! Glad to hear Skimmer is worth every penny! 

Overall, I'm very pleased with Skimmer. Their customer support is always quick to answer our questions. Our clients have overwhelmingly responded positively with the professional look of the reports and love the pictures.

Best for the money 

Hi Jake! Thanks for the fantastic feedback. You're correct, work orders cannot currently be automatically paid, however, if your customer has a card on file and has given their approval for autopay, you can manually process the payment using the card on file. To do this, go to the invoice, select "More", then "Add Payment," "Online Payment," and choose which card on file to charge. Hope that helps! :) 

Overall its the best product I've used for my pool business. It organizes everything for daily work.

Best product for pool business management

Being able to move and manipulate the route easily was a function I was looking for along with routing. Skimmer offers both function and does them well.

Review from kmb pools

Thank you for the awesome review, Mitchell! We love to hear you're enjoying Skimmer Billing. p.s. Try using the "back" button in your browser to get back to your customer profile. Alternatively, right click and "open in a new tab" when clicking to view invoices. 

Skimmer has has helped us scale our business quickly and not miss anything.

Must have app for pool service professionals  

We're so glad to hear Skimmer has helped you scale, Tanner! 

The feedback is also appreciated -- I will make sure our Product team sees it.

p.s. As I'm sure you know, even though locations with service history cannot be deleted, users can mark customers as "inactive". 

My overall experience with skimmer has been amazing, it has saved me hours and billing and invoices. It has made my clients trust our company knowing that the job is getting done properly by the weekly service reports. The ease of scheduling, repairs and work orders and dispatching techs is awesome.  And their customer service is hands down, One of the best I've ever dealt with!

Skimmer has streamlined My company!

Thanks for the awesome review, Brett! While you're not able to save convenience fees, you can bulk apply those fees to all invoices in a billing run. Hopefully this saves you some time. In the meantime, we'll pass along your feedback to the product team! https://help.getskimmer.com/article/164-skimmer-billing-add-fees-discounts-and-line-items-in-bulk
