ZapRoute is the pool service app that proves the work was done. Built by a pool service company for pool service companies, ZapRoute keeps your daily routes, photo proof, and reports in one radically simple app — zero training needed. Your technicians see today's route, tap a house, snap a photo, done. PHOTO PROOF WITH AI Every visit requires a photo — no exceptions. ZapRoute's AI reads each photo, confirms the service type (cleaning, chemical test, filter, salt), and flags anything suspicious. You finally have real proof for every single stop, ready to share with customers. ROUTES THAT LEARN ZapRoute learns the real order your techs drive and shows the full route on a map: numbered pins, real driving path, miles per leg, and one-tap navigation. Optimize the route with one button — see before/after miles and apply or undo instantly. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Fuel cost per route, per day, per technician. Weekly and monthly closeouts: visits vs. planned, missing photos, salt bags, filter cleanings, miles. A live owner dashboard shows revenue, averages, and filters coming due — visible only to owner and office roles. WORKS OFFLINE No signal at the pool? Everything is saved on the phone and uploads by itself when the connection returns. No photo is ever lost. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED • Filter tracking: yearly change reminders and cleaning memory • Salt tracking by bags, with weekly and monthly summaries • Suspensions with return reminders • Service repair orders with before/after photo proof • Office panel: live route progress, reassign homes, send proof emails • Roles and permissions: technician, field supervisor, office, owner TRULY TRILINGUAL English, Portuguese, and Spanish — the whole app, every screen, every error message. Each user picks their own language. SIMPLE PRICING One plan that grows with your pool count. No contracts, no surprises. ZapRoute — routes, proof, and peace of mind.
