Operator first. Clayton runs ClayPay, the embedded payments platform that subsidizes pool service software economics for Pooly customers.
Pool service software built for the trade.
Pooly is built by two operators who got tired of watching pool service companies pay for horizontal software, lose money to partner routed payments, and miss equipment sales because financing was a separate flow.
The team
The founders
Engineering for the long game. Ahmed leads product and engineering at Pooly, building the platform that makes payments, financing, and AI feel like one product instead of three integrations.
He believes pool service deserves better than horizontal field service software bolted onto a generic platform.
Why we built Pooly
The pool service market deserves more than horizontal software.
Native payments, owned rails
We own the payment rails directly. No Stripe middleman, no partner processor referral cut. Operator pays one rate to one platform.
Financing in the quote
Customers apply for financing inside the quote and portal in one flow. Heaters, equipment, and renovations close at higher rates.
AI in the daily flow
Route resequencing, chemical recommendations from readings, LSI auto calc. AI shows up where it earns its keep.
Talk to the founders
Real reply, no auto responder. Same people who build the product.
