The hours you billed. The hours you can prove.
Every shift, every machine, every hour — logged as it happens. When a property manager questions the invoice, you have the meter instead of an argument.
Sidewalk tractors · loaders · skid steers · spreaders · light towers
Two fleets, two rulebooks. This is one of them.
Your plow trucks, tandem dumps, and brine tankers are on-road commercial vehicles. They fall under the transport regime — a daily trip inspection in a prescribed format, carried in the cab, feeding your carrier safety rating. wearpoint doesn't produce that report, so don't buy it for that. Your loaders with pushers, skid steers, and sidewalk machines are powered mobile equipment under occupational health and safety law — Alberta's OHS Code s.257 requires a visual inspection before the equipment is operated; BC's OHSR 16.3 requires one before it is first operated on a shift, with defect records kept for two years; Quebec's RSST s.272 requires them to be inspected and maintained to the manufacturer's instructions or equivalent standards. That is the duty wearpoint serves — and the same walkaround covers the spreaders and light towers working alongside them.
Snow contractor hours. The season is short and the disputes are long.
Four months of round-the-clock running, a fleet that doubles with rentals and subs, and an invoice somebody always wants to argue about.
Hours are the invoice
An hour nobody logged is an hour nobody pays for. Operators tap in on the machine they're running and enter the meter reading when they tap out, so the service meter sits behind every line you bill — per machine, per shift.
The fleet doubles for one season
Rented units, seasonal operators, subcontracted machines. Add each machine as it arrives and invite the crew by text — a machine keeps its own record for exactly as long as you have it.
3 a.m., cold, wearing gloves
Every screen has one dominant action sized for a gloved hand, and the walkaround is a short list of taps. It runs in the browser on the phone already in the cab — nothing gets bolted to a machine, and nothing new goes in it.
What it handles.
The occupational-health-and-safety side of a snow operation. If something you run isn’t here, ask us before you start — we’d rather tell you no than have you find out in January.

Field guides for this work.
Sidewalk tractor daily inspection checklist
The shift-start walkaround for articulated sidewalk machines, from the block heater cord to the bus stop at the end of the route.
Snow equipment pre-season checklist
Loaders, skid steers, sidewalk tractors, and the units working alongside them — what to check before the first storm, machine by machine.
Snow removal equipment hour logs
What a machine-hour log proves when an invoice is questioned, what it doesn't, and how to keep one that holds up — on paper or on the machine.
Backhoe loader daily inspection checklist
Two machines on one frame: the loader end, the hoe end, and the locks that hold the hoe for travel.
Snow removal questions.
Does it do routing, storm dispatch, or per-push billing?
No. This is machine condition and machine hours — the walkaround, the defects, the meter, the work order. Routing, dispatch, and per-push invoicing are a different category of product, and we’d rather say so now than on the demo.
Can it prove we serviced a property?
No — and be wary of any product that claims a machine record can. An inspection log proves a machine was checked; an hour log proves it ran. Neither proves a lot was cleared or a walk was salted. Ask what your counsel actually wants for a slip-and-fall file and buy that separately.
Do seasonal operators need an email address or a password?
No. Each person is invited by text message and signs in with a one-time code sent to their phone — no email address, no password to forget. When the season ends, deactivate them in one tap.
Half our machines are rented for the season. Is it worth setting up?
That’s the normal case. Load the fleet and build your checklists yourself, or have us do it for you; the crew is invited by text, and most run their first inspections the same day. A rented machine carries its own inspection and hour record for as long as you have it.
Set it up before the first storm.
Start a free trial and load the fleet in an afternoon — or send us your machine list and we’ll load the fleet and invite the crew for you.
