🔧 Technician App

What are you going to learn here? How your workers use the application on their mobile. Everything they see and do on the street.


🎯 Who is this guide for?

This section is for:

  • Technicians who are going to use the app on their mobile
  • Administrators who want to understand what technicians see
  • Managers who need to explain to technicians how it works

🏗️ What is the Technician App?

The Technician App is the version of PoolControl that is used on mobile.

Key differences:

VersionWhere is it usedFor what
Web Version (computer)Office/homePlan, configure, view reports
Technical App (mobile)On the streetSee routes, fill in parts, use offline

What can a technician do?

  • 📍 See your route for the day (which pools you get)
  • 🗺️ Navigate with GPS to each pool
  • 📋 Fill out the work report (pH, tasks, products)
  • 📸 Take photos of incidents
  • 📦 View your stock in the van
  • 🔄 Request more material
  • 🔔 View change notifications

What can't a technician do?

  • ❌ See pools from other technicians
  • ❌ See prices or invoices
  • ❌ Change your own route (only request transfers)
  • ❌ Create new clients
  • ❌ See the full calendar

📱 How to access the app?

  1. Open Chrome/Safari on your mobile
  2. Go to https://poolcontrolpro.com/login and log in (same website as the office; on mobile you can add direct access / PWA).
  3. Log in with email and password
  4. Ready!

Option 2: Install as app (PWA)

  1. Open the website in Chrome
  2. Menu (⋮) → "Add to home screen"
  3. An icon appears as another app
  4. Open from there next time

💡 Advantage of installing it

It looks full screen, without an address bar, like a normal app.


🖥️ What does the app look like?

🎓 Important concepts for technicians

How do visits arrive on the mobile phone?

  1. The administrator plans on the computer
  2. The technician opens the app
  3. Visits appear automatically
  4. You don't have to do anything, just see them

What happens if there is no internet?

The app works without internet (offline mode):

  • You see the downloaded visits
  • You can fill parts
  • Everything is saved on your mobile
  • When there is wifi, it synchronizes itself

###How does the boss know what I've done?

When you complete a part:

  1. You send it from the app
  2. Reach the server
  3. The administrator sees it on his computer
  4. It appears as "completed" on the calendar

💡 Tips for technicians

Before leaving:

  • ✅ Open the app and check that you see today's visits
  • ✅ Download the route (in case there are areas without coverage)
  • ✅ Charge your mobile well

During the day:

  • ✅ Mark each visit when finished
  • ✅ If you are missing material, write it down
  • ✅ If there is any incident, take a photo

When finished:

  • ✅ Check that all visits are "Completed"
  • ✅ If you have wifi, wait for it to sync (cloud icon)

❓ Technician FAQ

"Does the app consume a lot of data?"

No. It only syncs texts and numbers. Photos can wait for wifi.

"What if I forget my cell phone?"

You can't work without it. It is your work tool.

"Can I use the app on my tablet?"

Yes, it works on any device with internet.

"Is the boss monitoring me via GPS?"

Only when you check "Start Job". He doesn't watch you all day.


🔧 The app is the technician's tool

Without it, there is no registered work. With her, everything flows.
