Fleet management of snow groomers, snowmobiles and other machines (Go to SNOWsat Fleet)

SNOWsat provides employees with optimum support in all areas of a ski resort by modeling processes in slope and trail management, fleet management and servicing management. By recording, visualizing and analyzing vehicle and snow depth data, the software enables you to see potential for optimization and for savings. In addition, SNOWsat makes it possible to offer and maintain slopes with minimal snow use. All of the data is always available as a basis for decision-making, and it creates transparency and safety while also streamlining processes and making them more stable and more efficient.

"We were able to save diesel on the order of at least 20%. The investment in the 20 slope and fleet management systems paid for itself in only a few years." Matthias In-Albon, Managing Director at Destination Gstaad, Switzerland (2023)

"We were able to keep the valley slope open considerably longer. For us this means increased revenue in the six-figure range [...]. We invested our money really well here!" Thomas Lingg, Managing Director at Imbergbahn Steibis, Germany (2023)

"SNOWsat has given us the ability to operate, manage and run a ski resort with very nominal natural snowfalls." James McKenzie, Ski Area Manager at NZSki, Mount Hutt, New Zealand (2024)
