Snow removal software built for storm nights
A storm packs a month of revenue into one night, and one messy night can eat the margin. Trucks crossing paths, lots done twice, lots missed, and a March phone call you can't win because nobody wrote anything down.
10 p.m. — routes, not phone calls
The forecast firms up. You pick tonight's properties and the optimizer puts them in order, early-opening lots first. Each driver gets a list on their phone. What used to be an evening of calls and a group text nobody read is done in a few minutes.
2 a.m. — you know where every truck is
The map shows each truck and each property: cleared, in progress, waiting. The gas station calls, you answer without touching the radio. One route falls behind, you move a truck over while it still helps.
7 a.m. — the storm is invoiced
Every push logged its time, tasks, and a photo when the truck moved on. Per-push, per-event, and seasonal contracts all bill from the same records, so the storm that ended at five is invoiced before lunch and the cash shows up while there's still snow on the ground.
And in March, you still have the receipts
When a slip-and-fall claim or a billing dispute shows up months later, you pull that night's record for that property in a few seconds. Timestamps, tasks, photos. One defended claim pays for a lot of software.
Frequently asked questions
What is snow removal software?
Snow removal software is field service software built for plowing and de-icing operations. It handles storm dispatch and plow routing, live crew tracking through the event, time-stamped proof of service at each property, and billing for per-push, per-event, and seasonal contracts. The point is to run the whole storm from one system and come out of it with both the invoices and a defensible service record.
How does Avro handle per-push versus seasonal billing?
Every push is recorded as a job against the property, so both models bill from the same records. Per-push and per-event accounts bill from the visits logged during the storm; seasonal accounts bill on their contract schedule while those same visit records document the work delivered against the contract.
Can Avro prove a property was serviced during a storm?
Yes. Each visit logs its time, the tasks performed, and a photo when the truck moves on, tied to the property. When a slip-and-fall claim or billing dispute surfaces months later, you pull that night's record for that address in a few seconds instead of reconstructing a storm nobody remembers.
What is the difference between snow removal software and snow and ice management software?
They describe the same category. Snow and ice management is the broader term used by commercial contractors whose scope includes de-icing and sidewalk treatment alongside plowing, so the software has to record each service separately rather than treating a site visit as one action. Avro logs plowing, salting, and walk clearing as their own tasks against the property.
Does Avro work with QuickBooks?
Yes. Invoices and payments recorded in Avro stay matched with QuickBooks, so the storm you bill in the morning does not have to be re-entered into your books later.
Can we use Avro for lawn care in the off-season?
Yes, and most plowing operations do. Avro runs lawn care and mowing, landscaping, cleaning, and pool service on the same platform, so customers, properties, crews, and billing history carry from the snow season into spring rather than living in two disconnected tools.
Is Avro suitable for a small snow removal business?
Yes. Pricing is a base rate plus per-job pricing, so a one- or two-truck operation is not paying for seats it does not use. The same dispatch, proof-of-service, and billing workflow runs whether you plow with two trucks or twenty.
How quickly can we get set up before a storm?
Avro is web and mobile with no installation, so crews only need the app on their phones. Setup is loading your properties and contracts and building your storm list — which is why it is worth doing in the fall rather than the night of the first event.
