What changes with MakeHay

Quote, schedule, get paid, come back.

Schedule around the weather, not despite it

Weekly service runs in most weather, so the rule is for the treatments that don't: a dry-day-after rule for acid washes and stain treatments, and a rain limit for openings. Each visit carries the National Weather Service forecast for its own address, and the route repeats weekly with an end date for the season.

  • Weekly visits generated for the season, with an end date
  • Dry-day-after rule for treatments that need it
  • Rain flags on opening and closing days, per property
  • Drag any visit when the week reshuffles; the customer gets the reminder
Two weeks of the MakeHay calendar with the forecast on each day: green days with low rain chances, and two red days with a rain flag on the visit scheduled there.
Step 1

Quote it before you leave the site

Quote weekly service flat, with chemicals, filter cleans, and repairs as lines from your price book. Offer basic, full-service, and full-service plus equipment care as three packages on one quote. Openings and closings are their own flat lines, and the customer approves from their phone.

Three package cards on one MakeHay quote, with the recommended one highlighted, and the first line item priced below.
Step 2

Get paid without chasing

Every visit becomes an invoice in a click, or invoice the month at once, with a card or bank pay link. Overdue reminders go out automatically, up to three, in your wording. Repairs and equipment go on the same customer with the deposit collected at approval.

An invoice as the customer sees it: the lines, the balance due, and a Pay online button with the bank-transfer option under it.
Step 3

Keep every customer for the re-do

A pool customer stays all season and reopens in spring. Every property keeps its equipment, chemistry notes, visit history, and balance, so the reopening and the pump replacement are quotes in minutes.

The Job sites card on a MakeHay customer page: two sites, each with its own Measure button.
Step 4

Give every customer a portal

One private link per customer: messages with photos, documents you request, a heads-up on any contract waiting for their e-signature, and invoices they pay. No app, no password, free.

The client portal: Home, Messages, Docs, and Billing tabs, a Needs-you box with an estimate to review and a balance due, and the contractor's contact card.

FAQ

Pool service questions, answered straight.

Is it really free for pool service companies?

Yes. Unlimited customers, properties, quotes, scheduling, and invoices, free forever, not a trial. No monthly plan, no seat fees, and no credit card to start.

Does it handle weekly routes?

Yes. Set a job to repeat weekly or every other week with an end date for the season and the visits generate onto the calendar. Drag any single visit when the week reshuffles.

Can I invoice monthly instead of per visit?

Yes. Invoice each visit in a click, or send one invoice for the month with the visits as lines. Either way the customer pays from a card or bank link.

Can I sell service tiers?

Yes. Put basic, full-service, and full-service plus equipment care on one quote as three packages, mark the one you recommend, and the customer picks.

Can I keep equipment details with the property?

Yes. Notes, photos, and files live on the property, so the pump model and the last filter clean are there when the repair call comes.

What's the catch for a pool business?

No catch. The software costs us almost nothing per company to run, so it is free. Online card and ACH payments carry processing costs, as they would with any provider.
