Getting Started
Your first login: pick how to start
The very first time you open WaterMark on a brand-new company, you get three clear ways to start instead of an empty screen: import your customer list, add your first real customer, or load a sample company to explore. All three are safe, and you can use the other tools afterward.
Where: Today (home) screen - the blue "Welcome to WaterMark" card shows automatically on a brand-new company
- Open WaterMark. On a fresh company you land on the Welcome card with three choices side by side.
- To bring over an existing book, choose "Bring my book over" and click "Import my customers" to open the CSV importer.
- To start for real, use "Set up my company": type a customer name and service address (those two are the only required fields), tap the weekday for their weekly visit, and set a price per visit (it defaults to 150).
- Click "Add customer -> see your route." WaterMark creates the customer, puts them on that weekday's route, and shows you the real route so you can see the stop actually exists.
- From the confirmation you can add another customer, import your whole list from a CSV, or open Route Manager.
- To look around first instead, use "See it live first" and click "Load sample data" to fill the app with a demo book of business you can safely explore and remove later.
- Prefer a hand? Use the "We'll set you up" link on the card to email support for a guided start.
Good to know
- The Welcome card is owner-only - office staff and techs don't see it.
- Only name and address are required. Pool size, type, and other details all have sensible defaults you can change on the customer's card later.
- Adding your first customer defaults their service day to today's weekday, so the stop shows up on a route you can actually see right away.
