Week of October 12, 2026
The highlights are just the start. Here’s every update from this week, grouped by category.
Contracts and Quotes
Season Sign-Ups board: Office Ops → Sign-Ups shows every customer as Signed Up, Quote Out, Not Signed Up or Renewals, and you can resend open quotes by email. Learn more: Track Season Sign-Ups Across Your Company
Renewal timing per work type: Set when renewals go out (7 to 180 days, default 60), see what’s due or late on the Sign-Ups board, and use Start Renewal Campaign to quote those customers. Learn more: Track Season Sign-Ups Across Your Company
Sign-up letters your way: On the Deadline & Packet step, write a letter, upload the mailer you already use (PDF, up to 6 pages / 10 MB), or ask support for a Custom Letter. Emails and reminders carry the letter as a PDF, or the full packet if you turn that on. Learn more: Run a Season Sign-Up, What Customers See
Billing and Invoicing
Website Pay Page: Add a Pay Now page to your own website from Settings → Billing → Website Pay Page. Customers find an invoice by its number plus ZIP code or email, and the payment applies itself. Learn more: Take Payments on Your Website
Bank payments you can see clearing: ACH payments show as “Processing” until they clear, Payments has a Bank Payments Clearing box, and reminder campaigns skip customers who already paid by bank. Learn more: See Where Payments Went
Safer QuickBooks sync: Nothing posts until you click Start syncing, linked customers are never overwritten, and same-name matches wait for your confirmation. Learn more: Sync to QuickBooks Online
Review My Routes by area: Review the whole book, pick routes, or draw an area on the map, and see each suggested move on a map. If a customer’s day changes, you can stage a notice that sends only after approval. Learn more: Review My Routes with Soliven
Smarter route booking: Put on Calendar books every day a route runs, skips days already booked, and never re-books days you booked by hand. Apply also skips visits already assigned to someone else. Learn more: Put a Route on the Calendar, Set Up a Saved Route
Field Work and Repairs
Repairs approved on site: After an estimate visit, start the work now or schedule it for later, and the job carries the quote’s lines. Repair jobs also get a Create Invoice from QU-… button, now on pool, lawn, pest and core one-off work types. Learn more: Run an Estimate Visit, Quote and Invoice an Equipment Repair
Issues that close themselves: The office can file an issue without a visit. No-charge repairs close their issue when finished, and billable ones close once invoiced. Learn more: Work Reported Issues From Report to Repair
Chemicals and Dosing
Preferred Chlorine: Set your company’s chlorine in Settings → Water Chemistry and override it on any Pool Profile (Tablets / Granular / Salt). Safety rules still come first. Learn more: Which chlorine does the Dose Plan use?, Dosing rules
Sign for what went in: Techs enter the amounts actually used on the Dose Plan and sign off before completing the visit (field app 1.4.10). Learn more: Bill a monthly pool plan, plus chemicals used
Whole-tablet dosing: Enter what one tablet weighs, and the Dose Plan rounds trichlor to whole tablets, never past the per-visit cap. Learn more: Dosing rules, Dose Plan messages
Customers and Sites
Pick exact campaign recipients: Quote, invoice, marketing, portal invite and autopay campaigns let you pick customers one by one instead of using filters. Learn more: Run a Quote Campaign
Richer imports: Imports can link lake and pond sites to the lake catalog, bring in site tags, and flag out-of-state map matches for review. Learn more: Bulk Import Your Existing Accounts
Reports and Dashboards
Customize your dashboard: Each user picks and orders their own dashboard cards, and the layout follows them to any device. Learn more: Customize Your Dashboard
Contracts by Season: Compare customers, contracts and value with last season, see renewed, new and lost, and export to CSV. Learn more: Read the Contracts by Season Report
Other Improvements
Your OpsVara Subscription card: Setup Wizard → Billing & Invoicing now shows your plan, card on file and trial end.
Fixes: Job pages and date filters use your company time zone, the phone shows reopened visits right away, the portal water-use notice lists only chemicals, and stuck “too many requests” lockouts are gone.
