who align with High-Tech Pools’ commitment to quality construction and continuous improvement. He says they currently “could use five or six people immediately,” and they remain focused on finding the right individuals to join the company’s next chapter. REINVENTING THE WORKFLOW One of the most transformative changes under Hammerschmidt’s leadership has been the adoption of Monday.com as the company’s fully customized project management platform. Originally tested as a simple scheduling tool, the software evolved into the digital backbone of High-Tech Pools’ operations. “It spread like a weed,” Hammerschmidt says, describing how various departments began integrating and customizing the system to meet their specific needs.Today, Monday.com tracks every stage of a project—from the first phone call to the final service appointment decades later. A pool project moves through a series of meticulously designed stages: sales inquiry, site visit, design, permitting, excavation, plumbing, shotcrete, finishing, startup, warranty, and ongoing maintenance. Each phase includes dozens of detailed steps, all documented, photographed, and updated in real time across the platform. Automations link different boards and departments, ensuring immediate updates when milestones are reached. Managers can pull up project histories from anywhere, something especially valuable as the company now builds pools across more than five states. This system has accelerated communication, minimized delays, standardized quality, and empowered managers with instant access to project data. It also serves as a long-term service archive, allowing High-Tech Pools to track decades of maintenance for every pool they have ever built. By reengineering its internal workflow, the company has positioned itself as a leader in construction technology within the pool industry. A NEW ERA OF WATER QUALITY While operational innovation has fueled High-Tech Pools’ growth, the company is equally focused on advancing the science of pool design—particularly in water sanitization. The company is one of the first in the region to implement Hyper-Dissolved Oxygen (HDO) and nanooxygen systems, a groundbreaking approach that replaces chlorine with oxygen-based sanitization. Hammerschmidt describes it as “the clearest, cleanest water that we’ve ever experienced in three generations of building pools.” 55 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 12 HIGH-TECH POOLS
