Pool companies need to measure pools with 100% accuracy. Otherwise, they will have unhappy customers, costly errors and upset partner-manufacturers.

However, they also need their measuring jobs to go as fast as possible, for several reasons:

  • The more time they spend at a job, the less time they have to take new jobs to increase revenue
  • Customer satisfaction drops when they have to wait longer than needed to get their new liner or cover
  • More time equals more work and therefore more fatigue and stress on the body

The fastest to receive the real drawing

Trigonon allows you to see in real time, the pool being measured. In addition, as soon as the last measurement is completed, you own the drawing!

Here’s why that is so important:

Live drawings prevent mistakes

Why wait to receive drawings a week or two after measuring, when you can see them live while you are measuring?

Seeing your measurements in real time allows you to see if something suddenly looks “off”.  If so, it’s as easy as going back to that point (#5 in the drawing below) and hitting “retake measurement” to fix it!  Then you can see it fixed in real time, rather than finding out after you have left the site!

Trigonon further helps you troubleshoot by highlighting the point you plan to reshoot.  Just in case you selected the wrong point, you would see it before doing the reshoot.

Live drawings remind you of forgotten steps needed

Since you can see your project unfolding as you measure, Trigonon helps you remember all steps needed by:

  • Giving a listing of typical measurements needed for the Manufacturer
  • Showing you a final picture that helps you realize something may be missing

Trigonon provides a menu of steps needed

Trigonon provides a helpful Menu that shows all of the steps needed to send Manufacturers the most elaborate and accurate measurements for your pool.  That way, they can be sure to cut their liner or cover to fit perfectly during your install.

Live drawings allow you to see missing information at a glance

Sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words…

When a pool professional feels the measuring project is complete and he’s ready to leave, a simple glance at the finished drawing may expose missing steps.  In the image below a quick glance reminds the pool technician that the stairs (points 33 & 34) aren’t labeled.  Also, the wall heights are missing.  Just a quick glance allows them to take just a couple more minutes to grab what is needed so that they won’t have to make a second trip or send incomplete data to the Manufacturer!

Live drawings can be sent to the Manufacturer before leaving the pool

One of the main differences between Trigonon and any other measuring method is that Trigonon allows you to have a finalized, fully accurate drawing right there on the pool deck!  With Trigonon you have the flexibility to send off these drawings to any Manufacturer you prefer.  That’s another unique benefit Trigonon offers that pool companies tell us is important to them.

Why is it so important to have the drawings while you are finished measuring?  Here’s the benefits of Trigonon being fastest to the drawing:

  • You get your quotes back faster since you can send them in immediately
  • Trigonon drawings go straight into the Manufacturer’s CAD software, so no time is wasted on manual input at the Manufacturer’s location
  • There’s no worry that you forgot to email your drawings or someone forgot to enter the information in for you. They are already gone and into the Manufacturer’s system!
  • There’s also no concern that you sent photos or other information by email that was separate from the project’s measurements.  With Trigonon it’s all together with all information sitting in the Manufacturer’s hands
  • You can get multiple quotes quickly if there’s a need for multiple quotes
  • If you are using a Distributor, you don’t have to worry about added timeframes or miscommunication since the completed drawings can go straight to the Manufacturer

Trigonon compiles all the information from a measuring job into one detailed report that gets compiled into a CAD-ready report.  Everything needed to quote and even cut the liner or cover is all together.  So, there’s no concern over trying to keep the information together.

Speed is more than just convenience

Everyone wants to get done with a job faster, even if it’s just to avoid working so hard!

But, when it comes to measuring pools, there are far more important reasons to get your drawings as soon as possible.  The faster you get them, the more efficient you will be.  You will also avoid mistakes that take time and effort.

A business exists to make money and keep customers happy.  So, this is just another way to make those goals a reality.
