From NWS alert to invoice, without the 4 AM text thread. Crews auto-dispatch the moment a winter-storm warning hits, and the audit trail builds itself along the way.
Most snow contractors run their season on text threads, photos buried in camera rolls, and salt invoices that get challenged six weeks later. Snow Ops fixes the three places that pain shows up.
Storm hits, the office is texting crews, crews are texting back, and nobody knows who already pushed Maple Lane. By dawn the route is half-doubled and half-skipped.
The HOA board pushes back: "We don't think you actually salted on the 14th." Without depth-stamped photos and per-event salt logs, you're arguing from memory.
A single contested invoice on a 50-property HOA runs $8,000–$22,000 in chargebacks. Multiply that across the contract's renewal year.HOA boards, property managers, and (increasingly) state DOTs want season-totals reports: material applied, dates, crews, weather. Pulling that out of paper logs takes a week you don't have.
Snow Ops doesn't compete with Jobber or Aspire. It competes with group texts, clipboards, and Excel. That's how most snow contractors run storms today. Here's the contrast on four dimensions a buyer recognizes immediately.
One pipeline runs the storm. Five stages, from the warning that fires twelve hours out to the audit packet that drops on Monday morning. The tools live inside the stages, not as a separate feature wall.
Winter-storm warning intersects 47 active snow contracts. Dispatch SMS queued. Office still asleep.
Four crews activated by priority tier. Optimized routes plotted. Crew app pings 4:02 AM.
Depth-stamped photo + one-tap salt log per property. Customers get instant disclosure.
Per-property activations roll up live. Mid-event reassignment cascades to the app in one click.
Per-push, per-inch, seasonal-flat: all three modes generated from the same event record.
A single per-event audit packet: the artifact the HOA board, the property manager, and the insurer all want.
Every storm event ships with a one-click PDF you can hand to an HOA board, a property manager, or an insurance underwriter on Monday morning. Below is what one looks like.
Pull it for one property or roll it up for the whole season. State requirements vary, so confirm your jurisdiction before relying on the report for filings, but the data behind every line is captured, timestamped, and can't be edited after the fact.
Sample packet. Branding, fields, and totals vary by org.
Set the mode per snow contract, not per event. One storm can produce all three invoice types in parallel. The audit trail behind every one is the same.
Every push that hit the property gets billed at the contract's per-push rate. The event record shows the count and the timestamps so the customer can see exactly what they're paying for.
Depth-stamped photos drive the bill. Tiered rates apply automatically, e.g., 0–3″ at $200, 3–6″ at $350, 6″+ at $500. A 4.5″ storm bills at the middle band; no per-storm config needed.
One rate covers the season regardless of activation count. Storm events still record fully against the property so you have proof of service for HOA boards and renewals.
The instant a salt log saves, three things happen, and every one of them is on the record long before anyone walks into a courtroom.
The moment a crew taps "save" on a salt log, a safety notice fires to the property owner across email, Client Hub, and SMS. That's a record on your side, and a heads-up on theirs.
Each salt record captures the applicator license # alongside material, area, and rate. Regulatory disclosure is ready the moment the log saves. No after-the-fact paperwork.
Every reassignment, every dispatch, every salt log lands in an append-only History log: entries can be added, never edited or deleted. Each one records who, when, and why. Procurement and insurance teams read this line first.
"Every reassignment, every dispatch, every salt log: on the record for good. Nothing in this system can be quietly edited after the fact."
