Run your pool service business from one app. Clorly turns scheduling, daily routes, before/after photo logs, water chemistry, and customer reports into one fast workflow — so you stop juggling spreadsheets and spend more time on the deck and less on paperwork. Built for solo owners and small crews — no learning curve, no enterprise bloat. WHAT YOU CAN DO Smart Scheduling Set recurring weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits. Clorly auto-fills your calendar and never lets a pool slip. Drag-and-drop to reschedule and see conflicts before they happen. Daily Routes & Live Map See every pool you visit today on one map, ordered by location. Get next-stop directions, mileage, and ETA — and track each technician's progress in real time. Before/After Photos & Reports Document every visit with GPS- and time-tagged before/after photos, then send the customer a clean, branded service report by email or a shareable tracking link. Water Chemistry & Dosing Log chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, salt, and CYA. Clorly flags out-of-range readings, suggests how much to dose, and trends every reading so you see what's drifting and when. Pool Profiles & Equipment Every pool gets a profile: equipment list with warranty dates, chemistry history, service notes, access codes, and customer contact. One tap, full context. Quotes, Customers & Messages Build and send quotes, keep every customer's history in one place, and message customers without leaving the app. Team, Roles & Performance Invite technicians with an access code, control what each role can see, and track completion rate, on-time performance, and a team leaderboard. Inventory & Shopping List Track stock and cost per item, get low-stock alerts, and build a shopping list for the next supply run. Clorly AI Ask the in-app pool assistant about dosing, equipment, or water problems and get an answer in seconds. Outdoor / Field Mode High-contrast theme designed for sunlight and wet hands. One toggle, instant readability poolside. WHY CLORLY Most pool service apps are either bare task lists or enterprise dashboards built for fleets of 50+ trucks. Clorly is the middle: serious tooling, designed for the 1-10 technician operations that run most of the industry. • No advertising. No data brokers. • Five in-app languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese. • Photos and chemistry data sync in real time. • Phone + tablet from the same account, with tablet-optimized owner dashboards. PRICING Free to start. Paid tiers (Starter, Growth, Pro) unlock higher pool counts, more technicians, and advanced reporting — but every plan includes the core scheduling, photos, chemistry, and alerts. SUPPORT Stuck?
