SnowM, a Canadian tech start up focused on building IoT solutions announced the launch of SnowM Marker, a cloud-based field service tracking solution designed to make snow removal operations more efficient and dependable with real-time service updates.

Approach winters, the mobility and economy of the world’s snowiest cities become totally dependent on the fundamental service of the Snow and Ice Control Program. And only the service personals working for this Program can comprehend what it is like to achieve safe and passable roads and sidewalks during severe snowing conditions. At times like this, snow removal contractors are pressed to deliver dependable service even under the most adverse conditions.

Some of the major challenges faced by the snow removal contractors are:
– missing out on homes and streets that needs their service. When this happens, residents and businesses complain, and the fury of customers put the reputation of the contractor’s at stake and the company stands a high chance of losing business.
– It costs a lot of time and money for the snow contractors to send the fleet back to service just one home that got missed.
– Fleet administrators face a real-time communication gap.
– Last but not least, unplowed roads cause major accidents and delays in emergency services.

SnowM Marker was created as a solution for this specific challenge. SnowM Marker utilizes smart technology enabling the drive-way markers used by snow removal contractors to identify customers’ homes to sends signals in case of miss outs. The Markers are in sync with a mobile application that the fleet can track on any smartphone.
