Service Validation for Today's National Snow Program
With nearly 30 years of delivering snow removal to national multi-site portfolios, one change that our industry experts have seen progress over time is
service validation and the methods used to assist in the validation process.
Years ago, before the convenience of technology apps, you would write service orders on paperwork order tickets. Most clients have moved to multiple validation tools in today’s space, including certified weather totals from independent agencies and geo-fenced mobile applications.
Some contractors may use one or the other, but here we explain how using multidisciplinary methods provide a more holistic approach towards validating your snow services.
Service Validation Snapshot
When we discuss or include service validation during any negotiation process within our services, we’re primarily discussing ways to deliver measurable benefits to your project or job.
Ways to go about this involves, first, connecting with a national snow removal company to help identify your snow removal needs while simultaneously explaining and breaking down specific data and metrics to help support your preferred outcomes.
As mentioned, technology plays a significant role in helping to streamline the above. Tools that provide weather totals or use geofenced technology are the most popular and most accurate.

Which Tool is Better?
In actuality, to provide the correct type of service in the most efficient way, your show partner should utilize all necessary resources and technologies currently available to offer successful snow services. When using weather totals, the reports allow contractors to mitigate contract disputes while helping to simplify your billing process. The way these reports help is through the following:
• Report resolution snow and ice totals by ZIP code
• Provide comprehensive storm histories
• Give site-specific start and end times
• Accurate accumulation data
• Complete monthly/seasonal totals
• Email notifications
• Offer advanced search options and additional
reporting
• Multi-export options for printing, PDFs, and Microsoft
Excel
• Sometimes deliver custom API integration
Finally, models based on time and materials are ideal for significantly larger properties that average a million square feet or more. These types of Technology can allow Operation Teams to provide real time updates back to the clients, which is one of the primary purposes of validating services. You want to leave your clients with a lasting positive impression and overall experience with their snow removal needs.
Implementing these tools with the right partnership and leadership can increase quality and help detect critical situations early in the service process.
If you need help determining the type of service your portfolio needs for this coming winter, connect with your national contractor to avoid being left out in the cold.
