Why Commercial Snow Removal Companies Are a Property Manager’s Best Friends

Every snow contractor has a different approach to planning, overseeing, and administering snow and ice removal services during the winter season. By following the best practices out there today, firms like Xtreme Snow Pros are able to save business owners time and money through their high quality performance. As a firm that’s dedicated to making sure they literally get out in front of the storm, they’re actually able to save property managers money in the process.

Here are a few notable ways in which the beneficial relationship saves time and dollars:

1. Education:

Professional snow and ice removal companies are the experts when it comes to managing winter weather. Property managers are tasked with understanding a variety of services and problems for being effective. By working alongside the snow removal company, they will receive a steady influx of education that helps them to understand how to effectively and smartly treat the weather.

2. Anti-Icing Products

Salt isn’t the only ice solution available to business owners today. Contrary to popular belief, there are actually anti-icing liquids that can be utilized on properties prior to snowstorms. Xtreme Snow Pros uses this product, as opposed to excessive salting, as a way to save property managers money. Additionally, it spares the environment, too.

3. Salt Savings

Salt costs a lot of money today. Any business owner reading this will know what we mean. The problem is that many property managers don’t know there are alternatives. By working alongside a snow removal company, they will learn about de-icing liquids that are a fraction of the rock salt pricing. Property managers will also save money when there’s less environmental damage viewable at the end of the winter season.

4. Advanced Technology

Whether it’s the latest in snow hauling equipment or the newest advances in communication, a professional snow company knows to be ahead in order to provide the best service possible to its clients. Xtreme Snow Pros’ advances in technology are ever growing. They provide clients with log in capabilites to view the status and pictures of their properties in real time providing peace of mind and customer satisfaction.

5. Lawsuits

There’s perhaps nothing more expensive than dealing with a personal injury lawsuit. If a patron slips, falls, and is injured on commercial property, they have grounds to sue that company. Though property managers may do their best to try and prevent this kind of problem, it can become very difficult with the typical Northeastern winter weather. By working with a snow and ice removal company, commercial clients can rest assured that they’ll never be slapped with a multi-thousand-dollar lawsuit out of the blue.

Of course, Xtreme Snow Pros takes the time to develop a detailed snow response plan that prevents any kind of catastrophes for their commercial clients. In the long-run, they save property managers thousands of dollars – not to mention, they provide some peace of mind during the year’s most chaotic weather months.

Using GPS Tracking Technology for Real-Time Client Support

If there’s one service industry today that requires attentive, real-time situational support for clients, it’s definitely the ice and snow removal industry. We work in a highly important and potentially dangerous servicing industry that can affect the health and safety of employees, site visitors, and consumers across the Northeast corridor. As such, we work hard to integrate the latest real-time technology and GPS-based support equipment for ensuring we provide unwavering real-time support and effective winter weather clearing services to all of our commercial clients.

We’ve discovered that the best way to ensure we’re servicing clients in the order of importance regarding impending weather forecasts is to use GPS tracking on every piece of equipment we own. From our Ventracs, Snowrators, to our Wheel Loaders and Skidsteers, every single one of our trucks is equipped with a GPS monitoring system. By installing this kind of equipment, we are then able to monitor progress live through our team of snow administrative specialists.

To take our real-time support to the next level, we have Live Radar overlaid on top of our GPS tracking system to keep us up-to-date with the latest weather conditions. Weather is fickle by nature, which means that although the weathermen may be predicting a certain amount of snowfall at a certain time, it doesn’t always mean that’s how it’s actually going to play out. By having this Live Radar capability, we are able to track the weather ahead of the meteorologists and make the best real-time decision for all of our clients.

Additionally, through the use of the breadcrumb tech feature, we are able to live monitor the progress on each of our individual client sites. If we notice ice activity at one, but not at the other, we are able to assess the situation and dispatch a team to ensure the client experience winter weather is provided with immediate support. By having this kind of insight, we are able to save our resources, time, and money charged to the clients. Plus, it prevents us from laying unneeded salt that harms surrounding environments, animals, and wears and tears on consumer vehicles.

By deploying this technology, we are able to improve our efficiency tenfold. And, by becoming a more efficient entity, this translates into not only better customer service, but also a reduction in costs to our clients.

Think about how many servicing companies out there that pursue a “one-size-fits-all” management approach, racking up a clientele bill that isn’t fair or representative of the real service provided. At Xtreme Snow Pros, we’re passionate about avoiding this very kind of wasteful and lazy management process. That’s why we’ve worked to integrate multiple layers of technological oversight for keeping our team ahead of the impending weather.

You deserve to have your commercial property inspected and protected by the best technology available in the ice and snow removal industry today.
