FOR SNOW REMOVAL

Prepaid clearings for snow removal

  • Five passes free, no card required
  • Works with no signal
  • Cancel any time — clients keep their clearings

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Fifteen-clearing season

Example figures, not research — put your own in the calculator below. What matters is the shape: a block priced a little under the sum of its parts, paid for on day one.

A per-push block, not an unlimited season

Selling "unlimited for the season" is a bet on the weather, and a counting pass cannot represent it honestly. A block of clearings can — the customer knows what they bought and you know what you owe, whatever the winter does.

Equipment is paid for in autumn

A plough, a serviced truck and a pallet of salt are all bought before any snow falls. Blocks sold in September are what buy them.

Nobody is awake and nothing has signal

You clear a driveway before dawn in weather that breaks coverage. The clearing records on your device and syncs later, and it cannot overdraw the block when it does.

YOUR SIDE OF IT

One screen. Who is owed what.

Every client, every remaining clearing, every package you have sold. Search by name, phone number, pet or vehicle when there is no code to scan — for the client who turned up without their phone.

100 visits you have been paid for and not yet delivered. This is not profit until you do the work.

You give away 360 in discount against 3,000 at single-visit prices. The gain is the cash arriving first, and the visits that would otherwise not have been booked.

Start with five free passes.

No card required. Create your Fifteen-clearing season, issue the first pass, and see it land in a client’s wallet in about two minutes.
