We had a chance to check out the new app that has been taking the Pool industry by storm. Pool Trader is an app that allows pool companies to connect to buy and sell pools. We reviewed the app for our readers on Pool Magazine and have determined that it’s a useful piece of tech for the pool industry.
If you are looking to expand your pool service route and pick up more pools closer to your primary service territory, this is the app you’ve been looking for. Likewise, if you are looking for an exit strategy for your pool service or pool construction business, pool companies are using this app to sell their entire route!
We speak with developer Joe Wilmot of Pool Trader
We had a chance to talk with developer Joe Wilmot recently. He discussed with us his original concept and what first drove him to create the app. Wilmot began his career as a pool technician in 2008, when he founded H2Joe Pool Service & Repair in Fountain Hills, Arizona. He had the idea to build a method that would assist weekly service technicians in tightening their routes.
“For years, I found myself driving all over the Phoenix valley area, often traveling 45 minutes in either direction to service pool accounts.”
JOE WILMOT – POOL TRADER
“I’d drive by other pool companies all the time, or even park across the street from a fellow technician as he went into his customer’s yard when I went into mine.” Wilmot explained.
How Pool Trader got it’s start
He said that it used to frustrate him how far he had to drive to service his accounts. Wilmot said he was determined to develop an app that would simplify his efforts to grow his local service accounts. Up til that moment in time, the only methods available were through Craigslist, brokers, or through referrals. He envisioned a virtual meeting place where pool companies could connect without a broker to buy and sell routes.
Wilmot is very optimistic about the future of the app and it’s potential to become a major resource for pool service companies. “It’s growing every day and I have been in touch with numerous people and companies that want to be a part of what I’m trying to do.” said Wilmot.
We’re optimistic about it’s future too here at Pool Magazine and give it our recommendation. This app has enormous potential for making it easier for pool companies to connect. Download the app yourself and see why so many pool service companies have gravitated toward the Pool Trader App. The app is free to download and is available now on Google and Apple.
