Skimmer

Skimmer (operating under getskimmer.com, legally Skimmer, Inc.) is the leading enterprise-grade vertical field service management (FSM) software platform and operational engine engineered to modernize, digitize, and scale the residential and commercial swimming pool and spa service industry. Founded in 2014 by veteran developer Ron Hash, the corporation dismantled historical pool route friction—where service providers relied heavily on error-prone paper logging, unoptimized driving sequences, unbilled chemical expenses, and manual customer updates—by launching a cloud-native, offline-capable mobile and web ecosystem. Moving far beyond basic scheduling spreadsheets, Skimmer's comprehensive operational cockpit natively unifies dynamic drag-and-drop dispatching, automated intelligent route optimization, real-time technician GPS tracking, recurring work order management, customizable service checklists, and Orenda-powered LSI (Langelier Saturation Index) water chemistry calculators. To accelerate cash flow mechanics for pool operators, the platform integrates a robust financial infrastructure that automates bulk invoice generation derived from completed field data, supports recurring AutoPay setups, enables credit card surcharging to offset processing friction, and features seamless real-time syncing loops to QuickBooks Online. Driven by explosive cross-product adoption and exceptional user retention, the hyper-growth vertical SaaS provider secured a historic $74 million growth equity financing round in October 2024 spearheaded by marquee software investor Mainsail Partners, lifting its total institutional backing to over $84 million. Under the executive leadership of CEO Jack Nelson, the enterprise captured major industry accolades by ranking among the top 1,000 fastest-growing private entities on the 2025 Inc. 5000 and the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500. Powering operations for over 30,000 pool service professionals across more than 900,000 pools in North America, the company continues to expand its addressable footprint via robust developer APIs and strategic distribution alliances with market leaders like Heritage Pool Supply Group. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Skimmer stands as the definitive technological standard for modern field service operations—replacing outdated operational chaos with real-time data streaming, leakproof inventory tracking, and predictable business enablement.
