Mastering Snow Logistics with Smart Solutions

Bringing order to the storm

Snow removal logistics are notoriously messy–especially when weather and road conditions change by the minute. SnowSync came to Povio with a big vision: build a connected platform that brings order to the chaos with real-time tracking, smart route planning, and seamless communication between management, drivers, and customers.

How we did it

Intelligent routing
The challenge
Off-the-shelf GPS solutions don’t cut it–plow routes require special considerations like vehicle type, changing weather, and traffic. 

The solution
We combined Google’s Matrix and Directions APIs with custom calibrations to build dynamic routes tailored specifically to plowing vehicles. 
Real-time sync
The challenge
With storms in motion, aligning dispatch, drivers, and customers is no easy task. 

The solution
We implemented WebSockets and Redis to deliver seamless, real-time updates–so no one’s left in the dark.
Load-resistant architecture
The challenge
High-volume, storm-triggered demand can crash lesser systems. 

The solution
Built with even-driven architecture and BullMQ, our system gracefully handles high task volumes–even during the worst snow events.
Easy admin controls
The challenge
Route changes needed to be made quickly and accurately in real-time. 

The solution
We built an intuitive admin interface with live maps and drag-and-drop editing, giving dispatch teams the control they need without the stress.
Built for scale
The challenge
When you’re the backbone of storm response, you need to be ready for anything. 

The solution
We deployed the platform on AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache), ensuring resilience, security and scalability.

The outcomes

Efficiency
Faster, smoother coordination between dispatchers and drivers
Clarity
Real-time visibility helped reduce confusion and delays
Automation
Admin teams benefit from automated routing system instead of manual input
Trust
Fewer customer complaints thanks to transparent updates
Reliability
