Rhumbit optimizes your daily pool route, sends ETA texts to homeowners, and helps you fit more stops into every day — all from your phone, and it keeps working when you lose signal.
You’ve got 18 pools to hit today. You planned the route in your head over coffee — or maybe scribbled it on a notepad. Three hours later, you’ve crisscrossed the same neighborhood twice, a homeowner called asking “when are you coming?”, and you had to skip two stops because you ran out of daylight.
Enterprise software like ServiceTitan costs hundreds per month and needs a dispatcher to run. You just need a faster route and fewer phone calls.
That’s exactly what Rhumbit does.
Add your daily service addresses manually with Google Places autocomplete (start typing, pick the address — no more fat-fingering zip codes), or import your entire customer list from a CSV or Excel export. Tag each stop with service type — weekly clean, filter change, green pool rescue — so you stay organized.
Rhumbit’s route optimizer (built on Google’s traffic-aware Route Optimization) calculates the fastest path between every pool on your list. Follow your route on a map that shows your day’s stops and each job’s progress. If your route goes stale — say you added a stop — Rhumbit flags it and you re-optimize with one tap.
When you mark “en route,” the homeowner gets an automatic text with your ETA. No more “when will you be here?” calls while you’re elbow-deep in a skimmer basket. No more showing up when nobody’s home. You can also send custom messages to any customer with one tap.
Tap “en route” → “arrived” → “completed” as you work through your day. Snap before-and-after photos of the pool directly in the app — great for documenting green pool rescues, equipment issues, or just showing customers the work. Add notes, defer a job if something’s wrong (with a reason, so you remember why), and move on. When cell service drops in those backyard dead zones, your day keeps working: once it’s loaded, status updates, readings, photos and signatures save and sync when you’re back.
Share your unique booking link with customers after a service call. They fill out a simple form — name, phone, address, preferred date and time — and it shows up as a pending booking for you to review. No more back-and-forth text messages to schedule return visits. Your logo and business name are on every booking form; on Business you can also remove the Rhumbit mark.
