Your size · 4–15 person teams · Pool service
Crews in the field and an office behind them: pool and spa companies dispatch on one board, the day full screen on every truck’s phone, and one price book everyone quotes from.
4–15
The pressure
Dispatch by group chat breaks at four trucks
A calendar shows time; it does not show trucks, overlap, or the job nobody took. The board is dispatch: every job, every tech, and the gap in the afternoon, on one screen.
The call-to-job gap
Booked but never scheduled is how a company this size leaks work. Here a booking is a job on the board from the first minute. There is no second system for it to fall between.
Every tech quotes a different price
One book (services, materials, labor), and every estimate comes from it. The number the customer hears no longer depends on which truck showed up.
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.
Turned on at this size
Everything below is in the one $99 subscription. Where a module is still being built, it wears the roadmap’s own word instead of a promise.
The board
Dispatch. Every job, truck, and tech. And the overlap.
The field app
The next stop full screen. Built for wet gloves.
The price book
One book. Every estimate from it.
Owner reports
What closed, what’s open, what a tech ran. Spreadsheet out.
The business numberNext
Routing, recording, texting on the shop line.
InventoryNext
What truck 12 is carrying. Transfers, POs.
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 stage decision
One dispatcher, and every truck sees the same truth. Dispatch stops being a memory shared across three phones.
Asked at this size
What does Thorbis cost a pool-service shop this size?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module included as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. The size changes; the bill does not.
Is this the size where teams outgrow Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Usually, yes. A calendar and a seat price both strain at four trucks. Dispatch needs a board, and a growing crew should not be a growing software bill. That is the argument on our compare pages, side by side.
Do office staff cost extra?
No one costs extra. $99 is the company: dispatchers, billers, techs, owners. Unlimited people on the record.
How long until the techs are comfortable?
The field app is the job, full screen, one thumb. Nobody trains for a week to tap Arrive, and during a switch, the old system stays up until you call the board the record.
