About SNOWsat
SNOWsat means solutions for the digital ski worlds.
It all started with snow depth measurement and fleet management, with more and more practical features added over the years. With SNOWsat Maintain, the team is starting a brand-new chapter by focusing on all maintenance processes in a ski resort.
SNOWsat is presenting unique solutions for unified digital control of all the processes in the ski area.
The Problem: Limited Resources to Build State-of-the-Art Software
The team at SNOWsat had minimal time and limited internal resources to create a digital solution for service and maintenance processes regarding PistenBully and all other assets in a ski resort like snow guns and snowmobiles which need to be managed and maintained.
Therefore, the team needed a solution to create new software quickly and efficiently.
We found that solution with SIB Visions. Their low-code development environment is simple enough to start fast, but powerful enough to create even very complex processes.
Building Maintenance Management Systems for the Digital Ski World
SNOWsat Maintain is a tool from Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG for digital ski worlds focusing on maintenance processes.
It is essential for the workshop manager to plan upcoming maintenance, have an overview of the status of the fleet, open and complete tasks, and manage the ordering of spare parts.
All these processes are digitized by SNOWsat Maintain – via the browser or the smartphone app.
The feature I like most is that we are not bound to a specific vendor nor proprietary system. Everything created is based on open-source components and can also be managed without VisionX. But we are too happy to consider that. 🙂
Benefits of VisionX
1) Fast development and integration: with VisionX, building and maintaining our applications worked incredibly fast, especially with possible integrations with SAP and other systems.
2) Solution-oriented: we enjoyed working with SIB Visions, thanks to their solution orientation and outstanding engagement.
3) The team at SIB Visions established a textbook example of how to reach the set goals within the estimated time and with available resources.
