Route & pricing
4 tools · 4 guides · 1 comparison
What a stop should cost, what a route is worth, and the paperwork that keeps a service business paid.
Where to start
Price the stop before you chase the next one: the service pricing calculator turns drive time, chemicals, wage and margin into a weekly price, and what pool service costs shows the same job from the customer’s side.
Buying or selling a book of accounts is a different calculation: the route value calculator gives the number and buying a pool route gives the diligence that should sit behind it. The contract and invoice templates keep the accounts you have.
