Handle Real-World Scheduling Without Workarounds
Two features that pool service companies have been asking for: job suspension for temporarily pausing service without deleting or rescheduling jobs, and parts tracking for logging materials used during service so costs are captured in your profitability numbers.
Job Suspension
When a customer goes on vacation, requests a temporary hold, or needs service paused for any reason, you can now suspend the job. Suspended jobs remain on the route but are automatically skipped during service. When the customer is ready to resume, unsuspend the job and it picks back up on the next route day.
This is cleaner than deleting and recreating jobs, and it preserves the job's history, notes, and configuration. Technicians see suspended jobs marked clearly on their route so there is no confusion about which stops to skip.
Parts Tracking
Technicians can now log parts used during any job completion: filter cartridges, O-rings, pump baskets, skimmer lids, and anything else. Parts are selected from your parts inventory and the cost is automatically included in the job's profitability calculation.
This gives you a complete picture of job costs: labor, driving, chemicals, and now parts. Over time, you can see which jobs and customers consume the most materials and price your services accordingly.

Does suspending a job affect billing?
Suspended jobs are skipped during service, so no work is completed and no charges are generated for those visits. The job resumes billing when it is unsuspended.
Can technicians add parts from the mobile app?
Yes. During job completion on the mobile app, technicians can select parts from the inventory and log the quantity used. The parts cost is included in the job record automatically.
