How does GPS job tracking work for snow plowing?
-
Our mobile operator app allows crew members to record jobs at customer locations in real-time. Each job captures the GPS location, timestamp, weather conditions, photos, and service details. This documentation provides proof of service and helps protect your business from disputes while keeping dispatchers informed of job progress.
-
Can I use Plow360 for both residential and commercial snow removal?
-
Yes! Plow360 supports both residential and commercial customers. You can manage multiple locations per customer, store site-specific notes and access instructions, track different service types (plowing, salting, shoveling), and customize your service catalog. Whether you're servicing driveways or large commercial lots, Plow360 scales with your business.
-
How do I create efficient snow plow routes?
-
Use our visual route builder to organize customer locations into logical paths. Assign routes to specific crews, and they'll automatically sync to the mobile operator app. Routes help optimize drive time, reduce fuel costs, and ensure all customers are serviced efficiently during snow events. You can create different routes for different service types or weather conditions.
-
Can I use this for summer landscaping and year-round services?
-
Absolutely! While Plow360 was built for snow removal professionals, many customers use it year-round for landscaping, lawn care, driveway sealing, paving, and other seasonal services. Simply customize your service catalog and mark services as winter, summer, or both. Track all your operations in one place throughout the year.
-
How does automated invoicing work?
-
After jobs are completed, you can quickly generate professional invoices by importing completed jobs as line items with automatic pricing. Track payment status, add custom notes, and download invoices as PDFs to email to customers. The system automatically calculates totals and taxes based on your settings, saving hours of billing time.
-
What weather data is captured for liability protection?
-
When locations have addresses entered, Plow360 automatically captures weather conditions at the time each job is performed, including temperature, precipitation, snow depth, and conditions. This documentation is stored with the job record and can be included in reports, providing crucial evidence for insurance claims or customer disputes.
-
How do I invite my crew to use the team platform?
-
With a Team plan subscription, you can invite unlimited team members. Account owners can share their invite code from the settings page, or send email invitations through the user management page. Assign role-based permissions (Administrator, Dispatcher, or Operator) to control what each team member can access.
-
Can my customers see their service history?
-
Yes! Team plan subscribers can give customers portal access to view their complete service history, locations, photos, weather data, and invoices. This transparency builds trust and reduces customer service calls. Simply invite customer contacts through the customer management page and they'll receive login instructions.

Is there a mobile app for iOS and Android?
