“Winter is coming.” And, it’s not a reel as you have seen in the ‘Game of Thrones,’ it’s real that you witness every year from September 1 to February end (in the USA).

And, the winter when it comes, comes (snow) with storms, blocking roads, porches, lawn, curb, and streets. That’s when the snow plow business comes into the picture, rescuing people and their houses by removing the snow around their houses.

So, suppose you are starting a snow plow business. In that case, we have something important to suggest to help your seasonal business be profitable enough to keep you motivated not just during the season but also off-season. No, we are not going to suggest how to start the business as it involves no rocket science, and we are sure you all are veteran ones to start a snow plow business without any expert support. The thing we are going to discuss in this article is how a snow plow app helps you manage your business efficiently. 

So, let’s begin with the basic first;

Snow Plowing Market at Glance 

  • Snow plowing market stood for $22.7 billion in 2020

  • Residential is the largest market of snow plowing business with 34% of the total market share

  • The retail sector, including small businesses, contributes 27% of the market share

  • Industrial holds around 25% while Hospitals, airports among others hold the rest

The snow plowing business is widely offline, most unaware of its potential. However, with the given stats here, you must have understood the significance of it. And, when you take a different approach, like building an app for your business, you can make this business the most profitable one. 

Digitizing Your Business is Key to Success

No doubt, heavy snowfall creates chaos and may seem an annoying problem for residentials, but it’s a business opportunity for snow plowers. But, unless you have a strong network, finding business can be a complex task. Hence, the snow plows mobile app can help you eliminate the issue by allowing your customers to connect with you anytime and anywhere. A simple push of a button can get your business and your customers a solution. 

Benefits of Snow Plowing Mobile App

Excellent Customer Experience: The mobile app itself becomes a marketplace for your business by allowing your customers to find your business without any hassle. Mobile apps, on the other hand, provide excellent customer experience —just place requirements. 

Market Analysis/Report: Apart from that, the app helps you with accurate market analysis and sends salt logs and reports to customers timely. 

Organize Tasks: The snow plow app will help you efficiently manage your task, such as managing the order, finding routes for working, managing to invoice, apart from keeping your important business details organized. 

How does Snow Removal App Works 

You must be exploring how the snow plowing app will work and help the business find customers and grow their businesses.

  • A customer logs into your mobile app

  • Places request for snow plowing services after entering address details 

  • The request is then stored in the “job queue of the day” section

  • The snow plow service providers in the particular region can find the requirement

  • Even the service request from customers’ app will be sent to the snow plow service providers 

  • The service provider then view the requirement and accepts the request

  • The service provider’s details, including ETA, then sent to the customers 

  • The customer agrees to the term and service timing 

  • After getting approval from the customer, the service provider reaches to spot at the given time

  • The snow plow driver removes the snow from the driveway and pathways

  • The driver also takes the images of the cleared site from the app 

  • Payment can be made before or after the service is delivered

  • Users can give their feedback, rating for the services they receive

That’s the start-to-end process of snow removal services through the app. The process we have explained here might appear to be a long process, but it hardly takes 10 minutes or, in some cases, an hour to fix the job. 

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Snow Plowing App 

There are various factors involved that determine cost. 

For example;

  • App complexities 

  • Number of features 

  • Tech stacks 

  • Country where the app is being developed

  • Hourly rates 

Usually, app development charges are significantly high in European countries, the USA, Australia, Canada, etc. You may have to spend anywhere from $100,000 to $700,000, given the quality work and expertise of the development company. 

However, if you choose to work with a country like India, you may even get the snow plowing app for $30,000 to $50,000 with quality promise. So, why pay $150/hr or $250/hr to someone local when you can get the same thing done for the quarter or even lower costs. 

Final Thoughts 

When it comes to starting a snow plowing business, you can initiate even offline, but you cannot ignore the potential of a snow plow mobile app. The snow plowing app can help you manage your business, but also help you with managing your snow plowers by reminding and creating off season plans, such as getting your equipment fixed so that you can be ready to serve customers from the start of the season.
