How does the system handle different trigger thresholds for different clients?+
Each property is configured with its own activation trigger — the snowfall accumulation that initiates service. When a storm event is declared, the system evaluates each property trigger against the current and forecasted accumulation. Properties with low triggers like one inch are included in the first deployment wave, while properties with higher triggers are activated only when accumulation reaches their threshold. This ensures you are servicing each property according to their contract terms and not wasting resources plowing a two-inch trigger property after just one inch of snow.
Can the system manage subcontractor deployment during storm events?+
Yes. Subcontractors are registered in the system with their equipment type, service area, and availability status. Before each predicted storm, the system sends availability confirmation requests to your subcontractor network. Those who confirm are assigned to specific properties or route segments. During the storm, subcontractors use the mobile app for GPS tracking and service verification just like your in-house crews. Their service records feed into the same documentation archive. Post-storm, their hours or per-push counts are calculated automatically for payment processing.
