Who you are · Controllers · Pool service
Whoever holds a pool-service shop’s books (controller, bookkeeper, the owner’s spouse at a kitchen table) inherits every gap between the field and the ledger. The product’s job is to close those gaps at the source.

The chair’s real problems
The deposit doesn’t match anything
A lump lands in the bank and someone spends Thursday guessing which invoices it contains.
Double entry, double error
Work keyed into field software and again into the accounting file drifts twice, and you own the drift.
The software bill wanders
Per-seat licenses, surprise tiers, usage overages: a line item you have to re-audit every quarter.
The work
01
The route
Balanced weekly routes with drag-and-drop scheduling. Skips log their reason (locked gate, weather, vacation hold), and billing adjusts by your rules.
02
The water
Readings, photos, and dosing timestamped on the visit record: the proof for the customer, and for the health inspector.
03
The revenue
Equipment age tracked per pool. A pump past year eight becomes a proposal, not a note nobody reads again.
What the record hands you
One-way posting, on purpose
Thorbis posts to QuickBooks; the books stay in QuickBooks. One direction means one source of truth to audit.
The bridge →Deposits that itemize
Payouts trace to the invoices inside them. Reconciliation is a check, not an investigation.
Money →A bill you can predict
The posted company price plus metered usage you can see: no per-seat math, no quarter-end surprise.
The quote →The old way
Paper logs leak money
A memorized route and a wet clipboard cannot prove a visit or defend an invoice.
“Did you come today?”
Without a visit record the customer can see, every skipped-looking week is a phone call.
The upsell drives past
Aging pumps and heaters at every stop, and no system that turns them into quotes.
The day, from this chair
9:00
The match, confirmed
Yesterday’s payout against its invoices: minutes, because the itemization came with it.
11:30
The exception, alone
One job that didn’t post cleanly, flagged, instead of a full-ledger hunt for silent drift.
16:00
The close, boring
Month-end without the shoebox: the field data arrived structured, so the close is arithmetic.
Straight answers
Does the controller cost a seat?
No. $99 is the company, not the seat. Every chair on this page is included, from the owner to the newest tech, and a hire changes the crew rather than the software bill.
Can we bring our pool-service records?
CSV and Excel, Documents, The API: we map the columns and read what we can, with a dry run you inspect before anything is live. What we cannot take stays a limit you can see.
