Snow lines wait for snow.
Sell driveway plowing, walks, salting, or loader work on an estimate like any other service. A snow line never creates visits on its own: until you dispatch it, its next visit reads Waiting for snow.
Snow removal software, for lawn care and landscape companiesIt snowed three inches. Here's everyone who's due.
Snow doesn't keep a schedule, so your snow customers can't either. In Shortcut, each customer's snow service is a snow line that waits for snow. When it falls, you tell Dispatch how much, and it lists every customer whose trigger was reached, with what each push will bill. Tick them, send them to your crews, and every invoice names the depth behind the push.

The problem on a snow day
A storm is fifty decisions before dawn.
Snow work comes all at once. Before the trucks roll, the office has to work out who is due at this depth, who only wants salt when you ask, which crew takes which streets, and what each push will cost. On a spreadsheet and a group text, the customer with a 2-inch trigger gets missed at 3 inches, the one who only wanted salt gets plowed, and the invoice says "snow removal" with nothing behind it. Snow removal software that knows each customer's terms makes the list for you.
How Shortcut does it
Sell it once. Dispatch it every storm.
A depth ladder prices each push.
Up to ten brackets on a flat-fee service, such as up to 4 in. $50, 4 to 8 in. $75, and 8 in. and up $110. The customer reads the terms on the estimate in one line, and you can change them for one customer on their line.
Pick the depth, see who's due.
Choose the accumulation in Dispatch and the Snow panel lists every line whose trigger was reached, with the price each would bill at that depth. Lines below their trigger are counted, and one click shows them.
Dispatch in one click.
Tick the lines and send them to today, each to its own crew, or send a selection to one crew. New stops land at the end of each route in the order that crew ran them last storm, and a line already out that day is left off, so nobody is sent twice.
Salting on call.
Send on-call customers an offer by text or email with their own approve link and a close time. Accepted stops land on the crew's route as they come in, and the lane counts who accepted, declined, or hasn't answered.
A record behind every push.
When the crew taps Start, Shortcut records the snowfall and snow depth at that spot from a weather service. Every dispatch and offer is logged, and the invoice line names the date, the depth, and the bracket.

Triggers
Four ways a line comes up on a snow day.
Set a default on the service, and change it for one customer on their line.
| Trigger | When the line comes up |
|---|---|
| Depth, in inches | When the accumulation you pick in Dispatch is at least that deep. New snow services start at 2 in. |
| Any accumulation | Every time you go out for snow, whatever fell. |
| Manual | Never on its own; you pick it by hand. For hauling and loader work. |
| On call | Offered to the customer each time, and they accept from a link. Salting is the usual one. |
Billing
Priced the moment the push is done.
| Price structure | How the push is priced |
|---|---|
| Flat fee with a depth ladder | The bracket the dispatched-at depth falls in |
| Flat fee, per hour, or per sq ft | The line's price. Per sq ft quotes start from the measured driveway and sidewalk |
| Man Hour | The crew time on site, like any man-hour visit |
The depth stamped on a visit never changes. Editing a line's price or ladder changes only the pushes that aren't completed yet.

Snow removal software questions, answered.
Pricing, switching, and what Shortcut does today, in plain words.
What is snow removal software?
Software that knows each customer's snow terms, lists who is due when it snows, sends them to your crews, and bills each push. In Shortcut it runs on the same dispatch board as your mowing and treatments.
How can I price snow?
Per push with a flat fee, with an optional depth ladder of up to ten brackets; by the hour or the man-hour for truck and loader time; or per square foot, starting from the measured driveway and sidewalk.
What if it snows less than a customer's trigger?
Nothing goes out for them. They're counted as below the trigger, and you can still show them, tick them, and dispatch them by hand. The push bills at the bracket for the depth you picked.
How do salting offers work?
Tick on-call customers in the Snow panel and send an offer by text or email. Each customer gets their own link and a close time. Accepted stops land on the crew's route, and declines and no-responses show in the lane.
Do offers respect opt-outs and quiet hours?
Yes. A customer who opted out of texts gets the offer by email if you have one, and is skipped if you don't. Sending between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. takes an extra confirmation.
What do crews see?
Snow stops on their Today screen like any other stop, with the depth they were dispatched at under the service. Start, photos, notes, and Finish work as usual.
What does Shortcut keep on record?
The snowfall and snow depth at the spot when the crew taps Start, from a weather service, and a log of every snow dispatch and offer: the date, the depth, who sent it, and which lines went out.
How much does it cost?
$180 per crew per month, or $144 billed yearly, with snow, every other feature, and unlimited users included.
