Pool Technician Mobile App — iOS & Android
PoolCamp's mobile app is the command center for your pool technicians. Real-time schedules, optimized route navigation, chemical logging, photo documentation, and GPS check-in — everything they need in their pocket.
Real-Time Schedules & Routes
Technicians open the PoolCamp app each morning and see their full daily schedule with optimized turn-by-turn navigation to every stop. Routes are pre-calculated using PoolCamp's AI route optimizer, but the app adapts in real-time — if a job is cancelled, rescheduled, or added mid-day, the route updates automatically and the tech is notified instantly. One-tap navigation launches directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze, so techs never manually enter addresses. The schedule shows customer names, pool details, gate codes, special notes, and estimated arrival times, so technicians arrive prepared for every stop.
- Full daily schedule with optimized stop-by-stop routing
- One-tap navigation to Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze
- Real-time updates when the office reschedules or reassigns jobs
- Customer details, gate codes, and service notes at every stop
Chemical Logging on the Go
Log water chemistry readings right at the pool — pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, CYA, salt, and temperature. PoolCamp calculates LSI automatically and displays dosage recommendations on-screen, telling the tech exactly what chemicals to add and how much. Readings are saved to the customer's pool profile instantly and trigger branded service reports if configured. The chemical logging workflow takes under 60 seconds per pool, and the app displays the last set of readings for each pool so techs can spot trends on the spot. Everything works offline too — data syncs when connectivity returns.
- Log all standard water chemistry parameters in under 60 seconds
- Automatic LSI calculation with on-screen dosage recommendations
- Previous readings displayed for quick trend comparison
- Works offline — data syncs automatically when connectivity returns
Photo Documentation
Before-and-after photos at every stop create a visual record that prevents disputes and demonstrates professionalism. PoolCamp's mobile app makes it easy for techs to capture photos that are automatically tagged with the date, time, GPS location, and customer name, then attached to the service record. Customers can view photos in the portal, and photos are included in service completion reports. Pool surface conditions, equipment issues, debris levels, water clarity, and completed work can all be documented visually — building an irrefutable record of every visit.

GPS Tracking & Check-In
Automatic check-in and check-out tracks when technicians arrive at and leave each pool, creating a verified time-on-site record for every visit. PoolCamp records real-time GPS positions throughout the workday, giving dispatchers a live view of every technician on the map. Drive time between stops, actual route driven, and total time on-site feed into efficiency reports and can be used for payroll verification. Geofencing can trigger automatic check-ins when a tech arrives within range of a pool. Technicians maintain full privacy controls and can disable tracking outside of work hours.
- Automatic check-in/check-out with timestamps for every stop
- Real-time GPS positions visible on the dispatch map
- Drive time tracking feeds into route efficiency and payroll reports
- Privacy controls let techs disable tracking outside work hours
Frequently Asked Questions
PoolCamp has native apps for iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android. The app is optimized for phone-sized screens since that's what most technicians use in the field, but it also works on tablets. We support iOS 15+ and Android 10+, covering the vast majority of devices in active use. The app is a free download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store — included with every PoolCamp subscription.
Yes. The PoolCamp mobile app caches customer data, schedules, pool details, dosage formulas, and recent readings locally on the device. Technicians can view their schedule, navigate to pools, log chemical readings, take photos, and complete services even without cell signal — common at residential pools behind fences and walls with poor coverage. All data syncs automatically in the background when connectivity is restored, so nothing is ever lost.
When a technician starts their workday in the app, GPS tracking begins. PoolCamp records their position at regular intervals and displays real-time locations on the office dispatch map. Techs check in at each pool — either manually with one tap or automatically via geofencing — and check out when they leave. Time-on-site, drive time between stops, and the actual route driven are all recorded. This data feeds into route efficiency reports and payroll verification. Technicians can disable tracking outside of working hours.
Yes. The app includes a built-in camera workflow that prompts techs to take before-and-after photos at each stop. Photos are automatically tagged with date, time, GPS coordinates, and customer name, then attached to the service record. They're available in the office dashboard, the customer portal, and service reports. You can require photos as part of a service checklist to ensure documentation compliance across your entire team.
When the office reschedules, reassigns, or adds a job, the change is pushed to the technician's app instantly via push notification. The daily schedule and route update in real-time, so the tech always sees the current plan. If a stop is cancelled, the route recalculates automatically to skip it. If a new stop is added, it's inserted into the optimal position in the route. Techs never have to call the office to check for changes — everything is live on their phone.
