Log every job in seconds, with time-stamped photos that prove the work was done. Plow360 is the job tracker built for snow removal and property maintenance crews, from plowing and salting in winter to mowing and landscaping in summer. Slip-and-fall claims and "you never showed up" disputes cost money. Plow360 gives you a record of every visit: who was there, when, what they did, and photos of the finished site. FOR OPERATORS • Log a job in one tap: pick the site, choose the services, done • Snap photos of every property right from the job • Follow your route stop by stop, with one-tap navigation to the next site • Keeps working without cell service; jobs save to your phone and sync when you're back online • Clock in and out from the truck • Site notes up front, so you know about the hidden curb or sprinkler head before you hit it FOR OWNERS AND DISPATCHERS • See jobs come in from the field as they happen • Send work orders straight to your crew's phones and see who's on site • Track materials for every visit: salt, mulch, fertilizer, or whatever you use • Photo history for every property, ready when a customer or insurer asks • Set up winter and summer services and switch seasons when the weather turns • Works for a solo operator or a full crew SIMPLE BY DESIGN Most field service apps are built for every trade and bloated with features you'll never use. Plow360 is built for crews who work outside, all year. Your crew can learn it in minutes and keep moving. Plow360 requires a company account. Owners can sign up at plow360.com; operators join with an invitation code from their company. Work orders and the time clock are available on the Pro plan.
