In their own words
CrewNest
CrewNest is a field service management platform for pressure washing, lawn care and snow removal businesses. It covers quoting, scheduling, invoicing and payments, with snow-specific records for event timestamps, accumulation totals and service notes. Users can attach weather data and accumulation notes to jobs, while salt and deicer calculators estimate material needs from surface area and conditions. Map-based route dispatch assigns crews to routes and zones. Snow work can be billed per push, per visit, per inch or at a seasonal flat rate; seasonal contracts support fixed monthly or per-event pricing, with invoices generated from contract terms after events. CrewNest is a Progressive Web App that works on iPhone and Android without an app-store download, and it also has web access. The Free Forever plan costs nothing and includes one user, up to three estimates and ten satellite measurements per month, and 50 SMS messages per month. The Pro Plan costs $29.99 a month and includes unlimited estimates, invoices, satellite measurements and team members. CrewNest is headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
