Every technician you hire should not raise the bill.
Per-seat software quietly taxes growth: each new tech is another monthly fee. ArkSlate is flat, with unlimited logins, and it keeps the chemistry, the photos and the parts on the customer record.
- A monthly fee for every technician you add
- Texting and phone metered as add-ons
- No parts inventory, so the truck stock lives in someone’s head
- Recurring maintenance plans tracked in a spreadsheet

Start free — no card requiredWhat you get on day one
Unlimited technicians, flat price
Add the fifth tech, the seasonal helper and the office manager without the subscription moving. Per-seat pricing is a growth penalty.
Dispatch board with live location
See the day on one board, drag jobs between techs, and send the customer an on-my-way link that actually tracks the truck.
Service history on the tub, not the invoice
Log a visit with photos and readings even when nothing is sold, so the next tech opens the lid already knowing what happened last time.
Recurring plans that bill themselves
Weekly and monthly maintenance agreements as real subscriptions, e-signed and charged on schedule.
Parts inventory on the truck
Pumps, heaters, filters and chemicals tracked as real stock with reorder points — most field service tools have no inventory at all.
Labour and parts taxed correctly
Tax is computed server-side per authority and snapshotted at the sale, including states where separately stated repair labour is not taxable.
The kit for a hot tub & pool service
We sell no hardware. We certify a short list of commodity devices, guarantee they work, and support only what is on it — which is how support stays fast and your gear stays replaceable on a Saturday.
