AquaNest
AquaNest is a premier swimming pool and hot tub service company in New Zealand, offering maintenance, repairs, and seasonal treatments for residential and commercial clients.

Overall Expectation: AquaNest wanted a future-ready solution from KoderHive that combined a modern website, automated customer communication, and paid ad campaigns, assure smooth operations, higher customer engagement, and increased seasonal bookings.
The Problem
Before working with KoderHive, AquaNest faced several challenges:
1. Limited Online Engagement
- The old website didn’t allow customers to quickly calculate service costs.
- Visitors often left without requesting quotes or booking services.
2. Manual Customer Reminders

3. Seasonal Service Gaps
- Paid ad campaigns for seasonal pool and hot tub services were inconsistent and untracked.
- The business missed opportunities to capture high-demand seasonal bookings.
4. Operational Inefficiency
- Manual scheduling and follow-ups consumed staff time that could be focused on core services.
