Snow removal is sold in the fall and delivered at 3am. When a storm hits, every client wants to know when you’re coming, and you’re the one driving the truck. Obravetta renews your contracts before the first flake, texts every client at once when a storm starts, saves photo proof of every visit, and bills each push the next morning. From $27/month.
It’s the phone. During a storm, clients call and text constantly, and every call you answer is time you’re not plowing.
After the storm, the next problem starts: remembering every push, proving every visit, and getting invoices out before the next storm hits.
The snow companies that keep their clients for years communicate before clients ask and bill before they forget.
One snow client over a season. Here’s where snow companies lose renewals and revenue, and what has to run on its own.
| Stage | What's happening | Where it dies | What has to run automatically |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall | Time to renew contracts | Clients sign with whoever asked first | Renewal proposals sent to last season’s list |
| Storm starts | Clients want to know when | Dozens of calls while you drive | One storm update text to every client |
| The push | Lot cleared at 4am | No record of when or how | Photo proof saved to the client |
| Billing | Storm over | Invoices go out weeks later | Invoice per push with a pay link |
| A dispute | “You never came” | Your word against theirs | Photos and notes on the job record |
| Spring | Season ends | Nobody asks for a review | Review request and an early renewal list |
Not a feature list. This is one client over a winter when the communication and billing run for you.
Last year’s clients get a proposal with per-push and seasonal options. They sign on their phone.
Proposals with e-signature · SMS campaignsYou send one text to every client on your routes: you’re tracking it and when to expect you.
SMS broadcast · Client lists by routeYou take a photo and add a note before pulling out. It’s saved to the client’s record.
Mobile app · Job photos and notesThe per-push invoice goes out with a pay link before the next storm.
Invoicing · Text-to-payA property manager asks about an icy spot. You send the photo and time from that night.
Customer history · Two-way SMSA review request goes out after the last storm, and next season’s renewal list is ready.
Automated review requests · WorkflowsYour best snow clients are last year’s clients. Put in your own numbers to see what renewing a few more of them automatically is worth.
The math: last season’s clients × (renewal rate with a campaign − renewal rate today) × average seasonal revenue per client. Snowfall varies, so use a typical season, not your best one.
Ice on a parking lot or a walkway is a safety problem. Clients choose snow companies they don’t have to chase.
Will they show up before the morning rush? Will the walks be salted? If someone falls, can they show what was done?
Storm updates, photo proof and notes on every visit answer those questions without a phone call.
On Obravetta Growth and Obravetta Pro, a professional snow removal website is built for you as part of the plan, not quoted separately by an agency for a few thousand dollars.
Most snow contracts are decided before winter. A snow removal site should show your services, the areas you cover, how you communicate during storms, and a quote request that works on a phone.
On Obravetta Starter at $27 you get the builder and build it yourself. On Growth and Pro we build it for you.
Obravetta isn’t a fleet tracker. It’s the whole client side of the business, and for a snow company it breaks into six jobs.
Published figures, sourced below.
These numbers explain why businesses and property managers want snow and ice handled reliably, and why showing up on time and proving it is what keeps clients.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, month-to-month with no contract. Annual billing charges for ten months instead of twelve.

It depends on your size. If you run dozens of trucks and need GPS tracking of plow blades, salt usage logs or subcontracted crew management, you'll want a dedicated fleet tool too. If you need to renew contracts, keep clients informed during storms, prove the work was done and bill fast, that's what Obravetta handles, along with the website and reviews.
Before the first snow. Most commercial and residential clients decide in the fall. Send last season's clients a renewal proposal they can sign on their phone, and give new leads from your website a way to request a quote while they're thinking about it.
Send one text to everyone at once. When a storm starts, filter your clients by route or priority and send an update: you're watching it, when you expect to arrive, and when you're done. That ends most of the 'are you coming?' calls during the busiest night of your season.
Take a photo when you finish and save it to the job. Photos with notes show the condition of the lot and when you were there, which helps when a client disputes a visit or asks about an icy spot. Obravetta's mobile app saves photos to each client's record.
It depends on your market and clients. Many companies offer more than one. Obravetta lets you put several options on the same proposal so the client can choose, and invoice per push or per event after each storm, or bill a seasonal contract in installments.
No, and we'd rather say so. We don't track trucks by GPS, log salt by the ton or manage crew timesheets. Many snow companies use a separate tool for that and run contracts, storm communication, billing, reviews and the website in Obravetta.
Ask after the first big storm of the season, when clients just watched you show up on time. Google's own Business Profile documentation says more reviews and positive ratings can help local ranking, which matters when property managers search for a new provider in the fall.
Importing last season's clients from a CSV takes an afternoon, and renewal proposals can go out the same week. The part with a real wait is 10DLC registration, the carrier approval required to send business texts in the US, which takes a few business days on any platform. Set it up well before the first storm.
Yes. Obravetta Starter at $27/month is one seat and covers proposals, storm texts, invoicing and reviews. AI voice answering for storm-night calls and the built-for-you website start on Growth at $97, which covers up to three users. Operations with several trucks and drivers usually need Pro at $297 for unlimited seats.
Fourteen days is long enough to import last season’s clients, get texting approved, and send your renewal proposals. It doesn’t need a demo call.
