It all started with Jean-Luc Sigouin and his residential Snow Removal division back in 2005. At that time, to put a little bit of context, MySpace was bigger than Facebook, everyone had flip phones, and we were still renting DVD movies from the video store!
At that same time, Snow contractors had a traditional, paper-based approach. The operators were given a list of papers to know which clients to do. And the only way to supervise them was to drive around and make sure the job was being done right.
I mean, everything was manual!
After acquiring 2 competitors, Jean-Luc brought his machine counts to 32. He quickly realized he couldn’t grow the business the way he wanted to. Everything heavily relied on the operators, they pretty much had to know their route by heart. And Scaling that model was an operational nightmare.
Around that same time, GPS applications gained popularity and that’s when Jean-Luc had an epiphany;
“What about if we could create an application that shows the operators where to go, what to do, and logs everything in real-time.”
That would solve a lot of problems!
