For snow removal
Snow removal software that runs the route when it snows
Sign customers up for the winter, then press one button when the storm comes. Northfork Trades makes a visit for every driveway on your route, texts the customers who agreed to texts, and invoices each push.

What it does
Built around how you price the work
- Per push, per visit, or the whole season
- Plowing per push, snowblowing and shoveling per visit, salt and ice melt per application or per bag, lots and roofs by the hour, or one price for the season. Price by driveway size.
- Storm today, one button
- When it snows, press Storm today. Every customer on the route gets a visit for today. Press it twice by mistake and nobody gets a second visit or a second text.
- Customers can reply SKIP
- Customers who agreed to texts hear that you are coming. If they reply SKIP before the crew starts, the visit comes off the route, so a per-push customer is not billed for it.
- A heads-up the day before
- At 4 PM, customers whose 24-hour forecast from the National Weather Service reaches their trigger depth get one text about tomorrow, and can SKIP then.
- Your trigger depth
- Set the snow depth that brings you out, for example 2 inches. The day-before text uses it, and putting it in your estimate terms means the customer signs it. No arguing about a light dusting.
- Each push invoiced
- Per-storm plans can invoice each visit automatically when it is marked complete, so nothing gets forgotten after a long night.
How a job runs
From the request to the invoice
- 01
Quote the winter: per push or seasonal, priced by driveway size, with your trigger depth in the terms.
- 02
The customer signs online and agrees to storm texts.
- 03
The day before a storm, customers who will hit their trigger depth get a heads-up text.
- 04
When it snows, press Storm today. The route's visits are made and customers are texted.
- 05
Each finished visit is invoiced; customers who replied SKIP are left off.

Questions
Questions people ask
- Where does the forecast come from?
- The National Weather Service, for each customer's address. It is a heads-up for your customers; you still decide when to start the route.
- Can I take seasonal payments in installments?
- Not yet. A seasonal plan has one price for the season today. Installments are on the list.
- Does it plan the order of the route on a map?
- Not yet. The route is the list of customers on per-storm plans; you drive it in the order you know.
- Do customers have to agree to texts?
- Yes. A customer is only texted after they agree, and replying STOP ends all texts. Everyone still gets the email.
