Can office staff see technician progress in real time?

Once a day is dispatched, the office does not have to phone technicians to find out where things stand. The route progress dashboard reads from the day’s live route runs and reflects work as it is logged from the field.

For each run, an owner or manager can see how far along the technician is, which stops are complete, which are still open, and which were skipped. When a stop is skipped, the reason is captured with it, so a skipped pool shows up as a decision with context rather than a silent gap. Completed stops carry their proof, so the office can confirm a visit actually happened rather than assuming it did.

This is what lets a manager answer the questions that used to require a round of calls: who is running behind, who finished early, whether the tricky commercial account got serviced, and whether anyone skipped a stop that a customer is going to ask about. Because the dashboard is tied to the live runs, it stays current as the day unfolds.

Roles shape who sees what. Owners and managers get this operational view across the account. Pool operators see their own assigned routes and stops, not the whole company’s day, and they do not see customer contact or billing details. So the office gets full visibility while field access stays scoped to the work each technician is responsible for.

One honest note: progress updates depend on technicians logging stops. PoolPuma is not live GPS truck tracking. The dashboard reflects completed and skipped work as it is recorded, which is what most owners actually need to run the day.
