No hardware
Poudra runs on the phone your operator already carries.

Features
The whole trade, nothing more
Built for snow removal contractors running two to fifty trucks, not adapted from landscaping software. And since whoever plows in January often mows in July, the same routes, the same customers and the same proof serve all four seasons.
Routes and dispatch
An operation, and each route becomes an outing: who drives it, how far along, how many stops remain. The screen updates by itself. A truck breaks down? The route goes to another operator, and visits already made keep the name of whoever made them.
Stop order, suggested
Put properties in a route, then ask for a better order: Poudra works out the one with the least driving and shows you the gain. Nothing changes without your say.
Contracts signed online
Your customer reads, signs or declines from their phone. At renewal, apply your increase grid to the whole list.
Billing and payments
Seasonal instalments, visits, hours or tonnes. HST, or GST and QST, with your numbers. Online card payment, receipts, credit notes and automatic reminders.
Lawn care and grounds maintenance software
And also
Offline mobile app
On the phone your operator already carries. They only see their stops, with access notes and landmark photos of the property.
Customer notices
One notice per operation, by text or email, with a tracking page and no account to create. In a building, occupants get “move your vehicle”.
Proof file
Time-stamped before and after photos, arrival and departure times, phone position. A PDF ready for the insurer, and a closed visit can no longer be edited.
Four seasons, one book
In winter the storm decides: it arrives, your routes go out. The rest of the year the calendar does — a programme mows a route every seven or ten days and PROPOSES the next day’s outing, the evening before. You confirm, or you postpone with a reason. Nothing goes out without you.
What was done, service by service
Mowing, edging, blowing, cleanup: you name your services, a programme says which ones it plans. On arrival the operator finds them checked and unchecks what they did not do. The gap — “edging: planned, not done” — shows in the proof file, and your customer only sees what was done at their place.
De-icer log
Every spreading is logged to the kilo, per property and per product: enough to bill by the tonne and answer a claim.
The whole team, no per-seat fee
Owner, dispatchers, operators: invite whoever you need. The plan counts active vehicles, never accounts.
Your data stays yours
Import your customers from a CSV file, full export in one click, two-factor authentication offered to the whole team.
The proof file
“You never came.” Yes, we did.
A fall, a scraped vehicle, a customer who disputes: the dispute is settled by a fact. Every closed visit keeps its times, photos and position, and can no longer be rewritten — not by the operator, not by you.
- Before and after photos, time-stamped by the server
- Arrival, departure and time on site
- One PDF per visit, in English or in French
- The de-icer log, to the kilo
Pricing
The price follows your vehicles, not your team

Frequently asked questions
What people ask before trying
Do I need to buy hardware?
No. Poudra runs on the Android phone or iPhone your operator already carries, and in a browser at the office. No box to install in the trucks.
What about when there is no signal?
The app keeps working. Arrivals, departures, photos and spreadings are kept on the phone, then sent by themselves when the signal returns.
Why a card for the trial?
So the trial carries on without interruption in the middle of the season. Nothing is charged for 14 days, and you cancel online, without calling anyone.
Do you handle Quebec taxes?
Yes. GST and QST in Quebec, HST in the Atlantic provinces, with your registration numbers printed on every invoice. Rates are frozen on the invoice when it is issued.
Do my customers need an account?
No. Contract, invoice and visit tracking open from a secure link received by email; visit notices come by text or email.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You export everything in one click, at any time. After a cancellation, your contact details are erased after 12 months — a season, in case you come back — and invoices and visit proof are kept longer. The privacy policy gives the full schedule, line by line, with the reason for each.
How long does it take to get started?
Import your customers from a CSV file, and the dashboard assistant takes you in six steps from an empty account to the first assigned route.
Is it useful in summer?
Yes, and it is the same book: your customers, your routes, your proof. A programme mows a route every seven or ten days and proposes the next day’s outing; you confirm or postpone. Your services — mowing, edging, blowing — are checked in one tap, and a skipped stop is explained to your customer with its reason. What stays winter-only is the snow trigger and the de-icer log.
