Pricing snow contracts and planning routes needs lot, drive-lane and walk measurements for every site. Short answer: use SiteRecon (aerial measurement of lots and walks for snow sites). Free option: ChatGPT. The workflow has 4 steps and 2 copy-paste prompt(s); expect per-site salt tonnage with the math shown, and a draft route grouping. Main caution: AI arithmetic and unit conversions can be wrong; recheck every quantity and total.

Step-by-step workflow
- Measure lots, drive lanes and sidewalks with an aerial tool (SiteRecon has a snow-removal offering).
- Apply YOUR application rates and expected event counts to estimate salt.
- Use AI to group sites into routes by area and priority, then check in mapping software.
- Re-measure when sites change.
Copy-paste prompts
Using these site measurements [site, lot sq ft, walk sq ft] and my application rate of [ ] lbs per 1,000 sq ft per event with [ ] expected events, calculate salt per event and per season for each site in tons. Show the math.
Group these sites into [ ] snow routes by area and priority (24/7 and medical sites first) [paste]. Output a route table and flag sites that don't fit well.
What to expect
Per-site salt tonnage with the math shown, and a draft route grouping.
Limits & safety
- AI arithmetic and unit conversions can be wrong; recheck every quantity and total.
- Application rates depend on temperature, product and conditions; follow your standards and local environmental guidance.
- Check routes in real mapping software.
