Measuring Route Profitability in Pool Service

Not all route days are equally profitable. Differences in stop count, drive time, chemical usage, and customer rates create significant variation in daily profit. Tracking profitability by route day reveals which days generate strong returns and which ones need restructuring.

Key Metrics Per Route Day

This spreadsheet tracks five metrics per route day: total stops, total drive time, total service time, revenue, and costs (chemicals + fuel). From these, it calculates daily profit and profit per stop — the most actionable metric for comparing route efficiency.

Profit per stop typically ranges from $20-40 for well-organized routes. Stops below $15 in profit are candidates for price increases or route reorganization. Stops that require excessive drive time (15+ minutes from the nearest cluster) should be evaluated for premium pricing or replacement.

Route Optimization Strategies

Common improvements after reviewing route profitability data include: consolidating scattered stops onto fewer days, raising prices on isolated pools, dropping chronically unprofitable accounts, and reorganizing stop order to minimize backtracking. Even small changes — reducing average drive time by 3 minutes per stop — can add one additional stop per day, increasing daily revenue by $150+.

Sound Familiar?

This spreadsheet was built to solve these exact problems.

Some Days Feel Slow

Friday has 12 stops but you're making less than Tuesday's 18. You've never figured out why.

Unprofitable Stops

That pool 20 minutes away is eating your profit but you've never done the math to prove it.

No Route Comparison

You can't compare Monday vs. Wednesday because you've never tracked revenue by route day.

Drive Time Waste

You're spending too much time on the road between stops but don't know which routes to reorganize.

This spreadsheet fixes all of it. Free.
