How to get a quick report for your customer(invoices, payments, history & more)

We have had a few request for customer reports. So we decided to go ahead and make those real easy to find and added them directly on your customer’s page. So first we will go ahead and pull up one of our customers. Then on the right hand side of the page under take action there is a “quick reports” once you click on that there are a few options under it.

There is a “late statement” button, this gives the customers the last six months of invoice and payment history and then provides the balance of what is owed. You can also show the customer all of the invoices you will click on “invoice report”.

It gives you a report of the invoices and what was charge on those. There is also a “payment report”. When we click on this we are going to see every payment you have received from this customers. Whether it’s a check, cash, or a credit card they will all be listed.

Lastly we added a “history report”. So this is going to pull up every transaction they’ve had with Paythepoolman. This option will of course help with any discrepancies.

Thank you so much.

We will be going over how to create a bid / estimate with your desktop and phone on Paythepoolman. The reason we will be doing it on the phone also is because people now can create a bid on the phone and get it approved right there on the job sight. Which is what is so great about Paythepoolman. Okay so starting desktop view we will go ahead and select out customer. On the right side under take action we will see “create estimate”.

After you click on this you will select the dates for your bid. You always want to make sure you select a date the bid is valid until so if there are any price changes you will not be responsible. After you’ve selected the dates you can pick which items you want on you estimate. If you have more than five items you can always click “add more items” which is located at the bottom of the page.

When you are finished with that bid we suggested you email it. The reason we suggest to email it right away is so that your customer can approve it as soon as possible. Once you email the bid it will take you back to your customer’s page where we will scroll down and see a bid pending with a description. It shows it’s not yet approved and you can create an invoice with that bid.

And now with the phone view we will go ahead and select a customer. It will load the customer’s page and then we will scroll down to create an estimate.

We will then select our dates and choose what we want on the estimate.

Once we have finished creating the estimate we can email that bid. When we are finished emailing we can go ahead and scroll down and see the bid with a brief description.

Always try to email these out. Because these will save you time. Thank you very much.

How to add & update extras fast in Paythepoolman.

We will go over how to add extras, how to update extras, and how to see what extras you’ve already added for the customer. We are going to show how to do this on both your phone and desktop/tablet.

Phone view(left side). Desktop/Tablet view(right side).

Adding Extras at home and on the field.

With our desktop we will go to more tab and click add extras. We are always going to start with putting in the date and then picking a customer. Say we need to add one bag of salt. So we select a bag of salt, enter your dollar amount and, then save it.

But let’s say we are out on the field and we need to add another bag of salt. This is going to be the same type of process on your phone. Except with the phone there is an add extra button for convenience; it is not under the more tab. We will go to add extras then select the date and customer. But now we will see we have a pending extra. So now we will click on the pencil button and update your quantity. Just like that, we were able to quickly update our salt. This is really handy for those customers you have to bill for the same thing over and over, and add additional amounts in.

Adding multiple extras at home and on the field.

The other thing we’ve done is included the ability to add multiple extras at the same time. So let’s say we did a filter cleaning, we needed to add an air regulator, we shocked the pool, and we cleaned the salt system. First we will add our filter cleaning under our add extras tab.

Then as we scroll down we now have a button that says add another extra. We will simply click on the add another extra button and add the air regulator. We can then continue to scroll down click on add another extra and then log our other extras like shocking the pool, and cleaning the salt the salt system. Just like that all the new items have been added. The process will be exactly the same on your phone.

These little changes we make to Paythepoolman are to save you time and make things easier. And remember ultimately it’s going to get you home quicker. Thank you so much for reading. Have a great day.
