SnowPaths delivers a real-time winter operations management solution which provides detailed information on the historical movements and performance of each plow on the road. SnowPaths will enhance your winter operations plan with unparalleled visibility and control over your snow fleet while providing an optional public facing portal that will greatly reduce the number of calls by citizens with questions or complaints during and after a snow event.

Real-time Tracking The Snow Removal application allows Public Works management to control, monitor, and report on snow removal operations. The system is optimized to enable incredibly quick data entry to handle the flurry of radio calls made from the field or use GPS units to eliminate the need to manually enter pass actions. A map interface allows input of completed routes and displays type of pass (salt, plow, brine, etc.) as well as number of passes by color code. Crew Management A drag-and-drop interface allows workers and equipment to be managed by area and crew. Link personnel to vehicles and record staff changes and hours worked during the course of the storm. We customize the app at no charge to enable you to have FEMA reports that fit your needs. The snow removal application can be modified to manage leaf removal, street sweeping, or other route based operation. Cloud Based Our tracking software does not require an installation of any kind. It's all web-based and served in the cloud on industry trusted Amazon EC2 servers (the same ones that run amazon.com). The servers are auto-scaling to meet demand during traffic spikes and critical times. You can access the snow management console with any internet connected computer or device through a web browser. Public View There is a public version of the snow removal map that can be viewed by anyone during an event. The community can see which roads are being plowed in real time. This map can be embedded directly into your existing municipal website. Depending on the options you have enabled, the public can view snow plow positions and watch them move on the map as it happens.

Citizens lives depend on clear and safe roads maintained by winter maintenance departments, vehicles and drivers. Plowing and salting roads and highways is a critical service delivered by local government and departments of transportation. Their job is to make sure roads are plowed and de-iced as soon as possible. While a department heads primary goal is ensuring roads are clear and safe they’re also tasked with containing costs, proving environmental compliance and optimizing the performance of their workers, assets and fleets. SkyHawk’s winter analytics solution is unique in the industry supporting a wide range of spreader controllers and sensors and includes specialized winter ops reports. The winter operations fleet tracking solution effectively and efficiently deploys, monitors and manages fleets, drivers, assets and material usage. Winter Operations managers have real-time and up to date visibility on the performance of drivers, current state of snow removal and other sources of information necessary to monitor overall operating costs, spreading frequency and quantities and to prove environmental and performance requirements.
