In their own words
Icey
Icey is snow removal and ice management software for handling quotes, dispatch, crew records and invoices. It runs on Android, iOS and web. Its storm board supports route assignment and dispatch, and route optimization is available for planning work. Field Mode gives crews GPS tracking, job timers, photos, navigation and offline use. Icey also displays live conditions and snowfall forecasts; users can attach a weather note to a storm event. A live client link, which does not require a login, shows service status, a client’s place in the storm queue and photos of completed work. Salt and de-icing logs can record material, application rate, timestamp, GPS location and photos for each site and visit. The free plan is for up to 15 active sites and five operator seats, with unlimited admin and office users and clients. Pro is listed at $79 a month, and Season Pass at $790 a year. Icey exports invoices as a CSV that QuickBooks imports, but it does not have direct QuickBooks sync. Card payments are not built in; invoices are marked paid manually.
SnowPlow Ops
SnowPlow Ops is a customizable operations management system for snow-plowing organizations, combining a back-office website with an iOS operator app. Administrators assign routes and manage operators, while crews view assignments, sign in for shifts and complete truck and equipment safety checks. The app provides turn-by-turn voice navigation with route comments and instructions. Operators can pause routes without losing progress, join active routes with others, exchange messages with the office and record breaks with timestamps and reasons visible to supervisors. Incident reports can include photos with automatic time and geolocation stamps, and supervisors receive real-time alerts. End-of-route reports are saved automatically. The system supports route planning, crew scheduling and service logs. SnowPlow Ops was founded in 2007 and is based in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Its iPad app requires iPadOS 13.0 or later and is listed as free; software pricing is available on request.
