Skimmer, a leader in pool service software, has been selected as the software platform to run the entire service division of Riverbend Sandler. Riverbend Sandler is a Top 50 pool builder and service company servicing over 1,500 pools in North Texas each week. Riverbend recently acquired Pulliam Pools and Claffey Pools and will be servicing those newly acquired pool customers with the Skimmer platform.
Bruce Mungiguerra, CEO of Riverbend Sandler, explained his rationale for selecting Skimmer: “Skimmer brings all of the complex functionality we need to run our business within a simple, intuitive interface that is very easy for our existing and future employees to learn, especially our pool technicians. Moreover, we needed a partner that was committed to meeting our ambitious growth plans. The investment Skimmer continues to make in its team and platform gave us the confidence they are the right technology solution as we continue to expand.”
Marcos Valdez, Riverbend Sandler’s VP of service and maintenance, says: “The utilization of Skimmer into our weekly maintenance service allows us to optimize our routes to a more efficient level than ever before. We are now able to deliver our same high quality of services with fewer time and resources. Also, the auto notification to the customer of their maintenance, adds to the consistent effort of innovation we aspire to in order to create a better customer experience.”
Skimmer is attracting many large pool service and repair companies to adopt its platform. Kevin Embree, Skimmer’s chief marketing officer, says: “Having attended and exhibited at nine trade shows in the past few months, it is clear that large pool service and repair companies are searching for ways to reduce costs, optimize and scale their businesses, as well as attract, train, manage, and retain professional pool techs. The industry norms are changing rapidly, and the larger players in the industry are working hard to stay ahead of the curve. Skimmer provides an immediate ROI and is the logical solution."
