Snow & seasonal work: questions contractors ask
How snow contractors bill each contract type, prove the work was done with stamped photos, and see which accounts are worth keeping, all from the same account as the rest of the company.
Snow & seasonal work
How do I bill a snow removal contract per push, per inch or by the hour?
Enter the terms on each contract (per push, per inch or hourly) and SnowOps works out each storm's charge from the visits your crews logged. Per push counts visits, per inch uses the snowfall entered for the storm, and hourly adds up time on site. The office reviews every line before any invoice is created.

Split the flat season price into installments and bill the next one for every seasonal contract at once. The season price is never added to a storm invoice, so the same plowing is not billed twice. The last installment absorbs any rounding, and each one links to its invoice so the office sees what is billed.

Take before and after photos at each stop in the SnowOps phone app. Each photo keeps its time, who took it, the phone's GPS position when it has a fix, and the weather at that moment. The office can print a proof packet for any property and date range for a property manager or insurer.
TrackOver for snow and ice →Can I send a customer a report of what we did after a storm?
Yes. After a storm the office builds a service report for the properties you plowed, with each visit in order and the before and after photos. The customer opens it from a link with no login, and it prints or saves as a PDF. It answers the "did you come out?" call without digging through texts.
TrackOver for snow and ice →Do I bill a per-push snow contract when the storm was under the trigger depth?
Not by default. If the snowfall entered for the storm is under a contract's trigger depth, that contract is left off the billing and the reason is shown. Zero-tolerance contracts are billed anyway. If no snowfall was entered yet, it still bills with a warning to check the trigger, and the office can include, exclude or edit any line.
TrackOver for snow and ice →How do I know which snow accounts are making money?
The season money screen shows what each snow account was invoiced and how many service visits it got, then splits the season's cost across accounts by share of visits to estimate margin. Revenue is exact. Cost is an estimate, because truck hours belong to a storm, not to one driveway.
