# SnowCloud

> SnowCloud is cloud-based management software for skiing and snowboarding schools and winter sports equipment rentals. It helps school owners, managers, office staff, and instructors coordinate lessons, customers, equipment, and settlements.

The official website is https://snowcloud.app/. SurfCloud and SnowCloud are two versions of the same platform, tailored to water sports and winter sports respectively. They share the underlying system and core school-management workflows.

SnowCloud provides software used by independent schools. The schools organize and deliver lessons, set their own lesson and rental prices, and handle their customers' arrangements. Questions about a particular school's availability, cancellations, or lesson prices should be directed to that school.

The main management application runs in a web browser. Its capabilities include:

- Lesson scheduling: interactive daily and weekly instructor calendars, drag-and-drop rescheduling, individual and group lessons, discipline filters, and instructor absences and days off.
- Customer records: contact details, notes, custom labels, lesson and rental history, and tracking of completed lesson hours.
- Customer settlements: tracking amounts due and payments for lessons and rentals, including which items have been settled. Payment tracking should not be confused with a promise that every school accepts online payments.
- Instructor settlements: summaries of taught hours and amounts payable based on instructor rates, with tracking of settled lessons.
- Equipment rentals: equipment records, hourly, daily, and weekly rentals, returns, rental settlements, and an occupancy timeline grouped by equipment category.
- Communication: SMS notifications about lesson scheduling changes and cancellations, plus upcoming-lesson reminders. Delivery depends on the school's notification settings and available customer or instructor contact details.
- Reporting: reports and statistics covering school activity, instructor work, and finances.

The companion mobile app is listed as SurfCloud on both Google Play and the Apple App Store; both product websites link to these same listings. It provides convenient lesson-schedule access for instructors and school managers. The web application is the main school-management interface; the mobile app is a staff companion.

For current software pricing, trial terms, and SMS charges, consult the pricing section on the official website or contact the product team at contact@snowcloud.app. Software fees are separate from the lesson and rental prices charged by individual schools.
