For pool companies on Skimmer
Switch from Skimmer in a day. Stop paying per pool.
Send us your Skimmer customer export and we import it free. Your routes are ready for tomorrow, your techs get an app that works offline and speaks Spanish, and your bill stays flat as your route grows.
Free up to 25 pools. No card needed.
The Live in a Day guarantee
Send us your customer list within 14 days of signing up. If your routes aren't running in ShockRoute within 7 days after we receive it, your first 3 months are free.
Read the guarantee termsHow the switch works
Export your customers from Skimmer
Run Skimmer's customer export and save it as a CSV. A QuickBooks customer list or any spreadsheet works too.
Upload it, or send it to us
ShockRoute recognizes Skimmer's columns, puts each customer on their route day, and flags possible duplicates that share a phone, address or email so you can merge them. Rather not do it yourself? Send us the file and we import it free.
Set where trucks start and invite your techs
We suggest a shorter stop order for each route. Your techs open the app on their phones, in English or Spanish, and run tomorrow's route.
Skimmer and ShockRoute, side by side
Only what each company publishes. Where Skimmer locks a feature to its higher plan, we say so.
| Item | Skimmer | ShockRoute |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | $2 per serviced location a month on Scaling Up ($98 minimum), $1 on Getting Started ($49 minimum) | Flat: free up to 25 pools, $99 up to 150, $249 unlimited |
| Water balance (LSI) and doses | Scaling Up plan only, through the Orenda integration | Every plan. Techs tap the test-kit color and get the dose and its cost from your price book |
| Route optimizer | Scaling Up plan only, up to 25 stops | Every plan, no stop limit (distances are estimated, not turn-by-turn) |
| Moving a stop to another tech | Can't drag a stop from one tech to another on the route dashboard | Drag a stop onto another route that runs the same day |
| Phones per tech | One primary device per user; other devices are read-only | Any phone saves stops offline first and syncs when there's signal |
| Profit per pool | Profit report on Scaling Up, priced at today's chemical cost | Every plan. Chemicals are priced when they go in the water and set against what each pool pays |
Grow your route, not your software bill.
Skimmer charges for every location you service, so each new customer raises the bill. ShockRoute is one flat price for your whole route.
| Monthly cost | 25 pools | 50 pools | 100 pools | 150 pools | 300 pools |

| ShockRoute, flat | $0Starter | $99Route | $99Route | $99Route | $249Company |
Scaling Up is the Skimmer plan with LSI dosing, quotes and route optimization. Its smaller plan, Getting Started, is $1 per location with a $49 minimum ($49 at 25 pools) and leaves those features out. Skimmer counts serviced locations; ShockRoute counts pools.
