It's mind-boggling how many decisions and actions you and your snow and ice removal team make during a snow event. From the moment weather weasels forecast that four-letter word called "SNOW", to the last truck driver turning off the ignition on your final snow shift - you are operating like a commando from ground zero.
No two snow and ice events are the same. This means you need tools to easily adapt to constantly changing situations. Trying to keep track of these details using the WRONG tools - results in inefficiency and continued chaos.
I'll start with your basic tasks, representing the chaos you must organize during snowfall. Your bottom line, is to organize and coordinate each of these activities. You need to document every detail AND maintain your sanity. Unless your middle name is "Houdini", you will need help from software. Not just any software, but software that mimic's your activities and provides you budget conscious VALUE in return.
