How Snowmass keeps your crew in sync

The tools that get your people to the shop and keep them talking through a storm.

Crew & communication Updated 2026-08-09

Two jobs, one place

A storm has two people problems. Before it starts, you need to know who can work and get them to the shop on time. During it, you need a clean line between every operator and the dispatcher — without the radio chatter.

Snowmass covers both, and it keeps them separate so nothing gets lost.

Before the storm — mobilization

  • Availability polls — ask the whole crew "can you work today?" and watch answers come in.
  • Attendance confirmation — "be at the shop at 7" with a real-time late/on-time board.
  • Mass stand-down — one message to tell everyone the storm fizzled and to stay home.

During the storm — communication

  • Two-way chat between each operator and the dispatcher, with a push to the operator's device.
  • Fleet-wide broadcast — one message to every machine at once.
  • The message board — every on-shift operator's thread in a single view for the dispatcher.

Where to go next

Each of these has its own article in this section. If a storm is coming right now, start with the pre-storm mobilization workflow — it walks the whole sequence in order.
