For pool service techs

Pool route app for technicians

Lapsheet is a pool route app built for technicians — not for dispatchers watching a map. It orders your stops, stays readable in bright sun, does not track you in the background, and hands navigation to Apple or Google Maps. Free tier on iOS.

Most pool software is sold to the owner who wants CRM, invoices, and live tech pins. Lapsheet is sold to the person who still has six stops left and a dying battery. That is the whole product thesis: for techs, not dispatchers.

If you need full office software, pair Lapsheet with it — or skip the suite when all you needed was a modern run-sheet.

Pool route app for technicians — FAQs

What is the best pool route app for technicians?

Look for field UX (readable in sun), stop ordering, navigation you already trust, and pricing that is not per-pool. Lapsheet is built for techs: no background GPS tracking, Maps handoff, free tier, flat Pro per company.

How is a tech-first route app different from dispatch software?

Dispatch software optimizes for the office — live maps, CRM, billing, multi-crew control. A tech-first route app optimizes for the person on the truck: today's stops in order, big buttons, phone battery, and privacy.

Does Lapsheet work for solo pool guys?

Yes. Solo operators are a core audience — free tier to start, flat Pro if you grow, no per-user tax for a one-person company.

Does it drain the battery?

Lapsheet avoids background GPS tracking, a common battery drain on field apps. You still use Maps for turns; the phone is not streaming location all day for a dashboard.

Where do I get it?

Lapsheet is free on the Apple App Store for iPhone. Download, add stops, optimize, hand off to Maps.
