Notifications
know what's happening without checking everything manually
some single polers who use PoolDial:
When you're running a pool route, you're out in the field all day. You can't sit at a desk refreshing your dashboard. But you also can't afford to miss the moment a customer pays, a tech flags a problem, or a new message comes in. You need the right information to reach you without you having to go looking for it.
Most guys I've talked to deal with this by checking their phone constantly. Or by having someone back at the office text them updates. Neither is a real solution. One burns your attention. The other is another person's job just to relay information.
PoolDial sends you the notifications that actually matter — and skips the ones that don't.
You get push notifications to your phone, email alerts, and in-app notifications in the dashboard. And because different people on your team need to know different things, every user can configure their own preferences. Your office manager doesn't need a push every time a tech completes a stop. Your lead tech doesn't need billing alerts. Set it up once and it just works.
Here's what you can get notified about:
- Customer payment received
- Invoice overdue
- Tech completes a stop
- Tech starts or ends their route
- Customer sends a message
- Equipment flagged as needing attention
- New work order created
- Service agreement signed
- Configurable per user — each person picks what they want
The payment notification is one I hear about a lot. Before PoolDial, most guys have no idea when a payment comes through. They check their bank account at the end of the week, or they get an email from Stripe buried under 40 other emails. Now you get a push to your phone the moment someone pays. You know immediately, without digging.

The equipment alerts are useful in a different way. When a tech flags a pump or filter as needing attention during a stop, you get notified. You don't have to wait until the end of the day when they're back in the truck to find out. If it's urgent, you can make a call or schedule a follow-up right then.
Same with customer messages. If someone sends a message through the customer portal, you get a notification. No more customers feeling like they're texting into a void. You respond faster, they feel taken care of, and you don't have to babysit an inbox.
I built notifications the way I'd want them if I were running a route. Not so many that your phone buzzes every five minutes and you start ignoring everything. Enough that the things you actually need to act on reach you in time to do something about them.
