Your whole pool business,
on one map.
Routes, customers, billing, and work orders in one simple app. Dispatch every day from a live map — and give your techs an app they'll actually want to use.
The dispatch board — every tech's route for the day, on a live map.
Sound familiar?
Still running the week from memory and a spreadsheet?
Routes live in someone's head
When that someone is sick or quits, the whole day falls apart.
Chemical logs on paper
A customer calls about algae and nobody can find last week's readings.
Billing eats a weekend
Month-end means assembling invoices by hand and guessing who's paid.
“Did my pool get cleaned?”
No photos, no record — just your word against the phone call.
Tadpole turns the day into a map anyone can read — every pool, every tech, at a glance.

Why “Tadpole”?
Every frog starts as a tadpole. Most pool companies start the same way — one truck, one route, one person doing everything. Tadpole is built to start there with you, and grow as you do: from your first 20 pools to a ten-tech fleet, without ever switching software.
Start small. Grow into it.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I bring my customers over from Skimmer or a spreadsheet?
Yes. Export your customer list to a CSV and import it into Tadpole in a few minutes — names, addresses, rates, and gate codes come along. Addresses are placed on the map automatically.
Do my techs need to learn anything complicated?
No. Techs get a simple mobile app that shows today's stops in drive order. They tap a stop, log chemicals, snap photos, and mark it done. Most techs are comfortable on day one.
I'm a solo operator — is this overkill?
Tadpole is built to start solo. You get the same routes, billing, and customer history without the busywork — and when you hire your first tech, you add them in one click instead of switching software.
Is there a contract?
No contract, no setup fee, no hidden add-ons. It's month to month and every feature is included. Cancel anytime.
How long does setup take?
Most companies are running their first dispatched day within an afternoon: import your customer list from a CSV, assign each pool a weekday and a tech, and optimize the drive order. We'll walk through it with you on a call if you'd like.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Office work happens in the web app on any computer; techs use the Tadpole mobile app on iPhone or Android. Pricing covers both — there's nothing extra to buy.
