What It Is

Dashpool is an online management platform designed for billiard halls and cue-sports clubs. Its core goal is to optimize table management, memberships, billing, and day-to-day operations. It runs on any device with a browser and an internet connection, including PC, Mac, iPad, and other tablets. Its positioning is clearly that of a vertical-industry SaaS product rather than a general-purpose retail store system.

Core Features and Integrations

Its feature set is built around billiard hall operations: it supports management for different table types such as snooker, Carambole, American pool, and Chinese pool; configurable room floor plans; fixed or hourly pricing; price schedules; player types; memberships; lockers; and products. For daily operations, it offers table pause and transfer, customer credit tabs, history records, and statistics. Dashpool also transparently integrates with Hiboutik online POS software, covering inventory, cash drawer management, receipts/invoices, accounting reports, tax handling, and multi-user capabilities, thereby completing the compliance-oriented POS workflow.

Pricing and Trial

The public plans are fairly clear: Dashpool costs €40/month; Dashpool + Hiboutik costs €49.90/month; Hiboutik alone costs €9.90/month. The page mentions a “free trial,” but does not specify the trial period, limitations, or whether payment information is required. Updates and support are included in the subscription.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its strong focus on the use case, with features such as billiard table timing, memberships, lockers, and customer credit tabs closely matching real-world operations. It requires no dedicated hardware, lowering the barrier to adoption, and it states compliance with France’s 2018 cash register regulations. The downsides are that public materials do not disclose enterprise-level details such as API availability, data encryption, backups, GDPR practices, or permission models. Multi-user support is only described via Hiboutik, so the depth of team permissions is unclear. Information about localization and internationalization is also limited.

Best Fit and Access from China

Dashpool is best suited to billiard halls and club operators in France or French-speaking markets, especially venues that need compliant POS, inventory, and accounting exports. Access from China is unknown, and supported payment methods are not disclosed. If operating in China, it would be important to verify network connectivity, euro payments, language support, and compatibility with local invoicing and tax rules. Alternatives to consider include Hiboutik, Lightspeed, and Square; in China, store systems such as Keruyun and Youzan may be options, though they may not offer dedicated billiard table timing and billing capabilities.
