Built for UK water hygiene· Founding Beta Programme

Help shape BlueWave. Use it free for three months.

We're inviting small UK water hygiene businesses to run BlueWave on their real work and tell us what to fix. You pay nothing for the first three months, and you deal directly with the people who build it.

  • Teams of up to 8 people
  • 3 months free
  • Then 25% off for 12 months

What BlueWave does today

BlueWave is built for UK water hygiene businesses and nobody else. The office plans PPM and reactive work on a scheduler, and engineers fill in their job sheets on their phones, with or without signal. Back in the office, you review what comes in, keep the lab's report with the job and download the service report as a PDF. Your customers, sites, assets, quotes and customer invoices sit in the same system.

Now we want it in the hands of the people who do the work, every day.

What you get

  • Three months of BlueWave, free, for everyone in your business. You don't need to give us card details to start.
  • Everything BlueWave does today, on your own jobs: the office app for planning and review, and the engineer app for job sheets on site.
  • A "Send feedback" button in both apps, switched on for your business. Anyone on your team can send us a note from the screen they're on, with a screenshot if they want.
  • Direct contact with the people who build BlueWave, by email and on calls.

What we ask in return

There's no catch, but there is an exchange. BlueWave is still in beta: you'll use it while we test and change it, and you'll find things we haven't got right yet. For the three free months, we ask you to:

  • Use BlueWave regularly on your everyday work.
  • Tell us what works and what doesn't.
  • Report bugs, and anything that's harder than it should be.
  • Suggest changes that would make your working day easier.
  • Join a few short feedback calls with us.

You don't have to move everything across on day one. Start with a few customers or a handful of jobs, and add more when you're ready.

Why we're doing this

We know the water hygiene industry. But knowing the industry isn't the same as knowing exactly how your business works.

A feature that looks right on a developer's screen can feel very different to an engineer standing in a plant room, or to whoever in the office is trying to get Friday's paperwork finished. That's why we want BlueWave shaped by real water hygiene businesses before we call it finished.

Your feedback won't disappear into a survey. It comes straight to the people who build BlueWave. We read every note, and what you tell us changes what we build next.

Who we're looking for

The programme is for UK water hygiene and water treatment businesses with up to 8 people. You don't need to be technical. In fact, we'd rather you weren't.

Paper job sheets, spreadsheets, a forms app, several systems that don't talk to each other: whatever you run jobs on now, we want to see how BlueWave fits the way you work.

We set each business up ourselves after a short call, so we only take on businesses we can support well.

What happens after the three months

There's no obligation to stay, but if you do nothing, your subscription carries on:

  1. The day we set you up

    Your three free months start. You pay nothing until they end.

  2. 14 days before the free months end

    We email your billing contact to say they're ending.

  3. Months 4 to 15

    You pay our normal per-seat prices with 25% off.

  4. 14 days before month 16

    We email your billing contact to say the discount is ending.

  5. From month 16

    You pay our normal per-seat prices.

Your billing contact is the email address your BlueWave invoices go to. We agree it with you when we set you up.

We agree your plan with you before we set you up. Every plan's per-seat prices are on our pricing page.

Near the end of the three months, we'll have a call with you to review how it went.

How to leave

If BlueWave hasn't earned its place in your business, tell us before your three free months end. Reply to our reminder email, email billing@usebluewave.com or tell us on the review call. We cancel your subscription and you pay nothing. Your team keeps access until you've downloaded the service reports you want to keep, for up to 90 days, and then we switch the accounts off.

Questions

Do we pay anything during the three months?

No. The three months are free for everyone in your business, counted from the day we set you up. You don't need to give us card details to start.

What if we forget to tell you we're leaving?

Your subscription carries on at 25% off our normal per-seat prices. Your first invoice arrives by email with 10 days to pay, or is collected automatically if you've set up Direct Debit. From then on it's a monthly subscription, and you can stop at any time by telling us.

Which plan will we be on?

The one we agree with you on the call, before we set you up. Our pricing page shows what each plan costs per seat.

What does "beta" mean for us?

BlueWave is in use and still changing. Some screens will change while you're using them, and you'll find things we haven't got right yet. Telling us about them is the point of the programme.
