Company size matters. Solo operators can use simple mobile-friendly tools. Larger companies need more organization.
Seasonal focus. Pool service is seasonal in most areas. Automation for openings and closings is essential.
Budget is real. Most pool companies run lean. Calculate cost at your expected list size.
