Skimmer runs the route. LOADLESS runs what happens around it.
This isn't a switch-from-Skimmer page. If Skimmer is working for routes and billing, keep it. This is about everything that still ends up on you.
Pool service software for routing, scheduling, billing and LSI water chemistry, with a technician app and customer communication. Skimmer says it is trusted by 30,000+ pool pros, and it is priced per serviced pool.
The AI back-office operating system for pool service companies. It reads your records, sorts every item by who has to carry it, prepares the work, and waits for your approval on anything touching a customer, a commitment or money. It is designed to work alongside route software, not replace it.
