Snow and Ice

Storm Night, Handled

From Storm On to the last salt run, then the official weather and the proof, on one board.

Contractor accounts open by invitation while we onboard this season. Ask for yours, and we'll reply within one business day.

Before the Storm

Ready Before the First Flake

Your storm agreements say which sites each storm covers. A practice storm on practice sites lets the crew try the whole night first, and routes put each crew's sites in order.

  • Storm agreements, per site
  • Practice storms that never reach an invoice
  • Routes for each crew
Practice Sites: the contractor's own yard and back lot set aside for practice storms.Practice Sites: the contractor's own yard and back lot set aside for practice storms.

During

Every Push and Salt Run, at the Curb

Storm On lines every covered site up on the crew's board. Log a Push and Log Salt are one tap each, the board shows what's done and what's left, and the 7 a.m. deadline is right there.

  • The storm board on every crew phone
  • Log a Push, Log Salt
  • Done and not done, site by site

After

The Official Weather, Then the Invoice

When the storm closes, the nearest Environment Canada station's readings are filed beside it and pulled again as the final figures come in. Then the pushes and salt runs flow into per-push or seasonal invoices.

  • Official weather of record with each storm
  • A storm summary per site
  • Invoices per push or per season, with HST
An invoice in the contractor's name: the month's contract line, the walkway salting add-on, 13% HST and a cheque received.An invoice in the contractor's name: the month's contract line, the walkway salting add-on, 13% HST and a cheque received.

When a Claim Arrives

Your Customer's Manager Can Pull the Record

Ontario requires written notice of a snow or ice injury within 60 days. Occupiers' Liability Act, s. 6.1 (opens in a new tab)

When one arrives, the property manager you work for can pull the visit records for that day and that building, with the official weather beside them. Your times and photos answer for you.

How Evidence Packets Work
