Routes and field operations
The route is the product. Everything the office promises is settled in the twelve to twenty minutes a technician spends at each pool, and everything a customer later disputes is settled by what was recorded there. These guides cover building routes that hold up under real traffic and real weather, and capturing service work in a form that survives a phone call three weeks later.
