Run a storm: plowing, salt and storm charges

Before the first snow

Turn on snow in Settings, Operations, Snow & ice and set your season. Snow then shows in the sidebar during your snow season.

Your snow customers each have a snow contract on their job. Group their stops into routes on the Routes tab under Snow.

Start a storm

1. Open Snow, then Storms, and choose Start a storm.
2. Pick the Kind: Snow, or Ice only (salt run). For snow, enter how much fell.
3. Pick the stops to plow, usually whole routes.
4. Choose Start storm (Start salt run for ice). Each crew sees its route in the field app.

During the storm

The storm page shows every stop and whether it is done. Use Add stops to bring in a contract you left out.

Crews record the salt they use at each stop. You can also fix quantities on the storm page with Save quantities. Salt and other products come from your Materials list.

Close the storm and bill it

1. Choose Close storm, mark when the snow ended and check each stop is Done or Not done.
2. Open Review charges. Each customer shows what they owe and how: autopay, an invoice, or no charge when their contract covers it.
3. Fix anything marked to resolve, then choose Approve storm charges. Nobody is billed before you approve.
