Yeti Software Inc.

Established in 2012, Yeti Snow Management Software is the backbone for snow and ice service companies spanning the US, Canada, and the UK.

Our award-winning snow removal service software was built out of necessity. Kevin Speilman, CEO and Founder of Yeti, was running a construction company in British Columbia, Canada, and needed a system to manage the commercial snow division. When he realized there were no viable options, he decided to leverage his mobile app background and got to work. Yeti was born and grew to become the premium solution for serious snow removal businesses, used to manage thousands of sites across North America and Europe.

“Snow and ice mitigation is a 24/7 mission-critical service, and Yeti is designed to help ensure those operations don’t stop,” stated Kevin. “We get it because we’re snowfighters too.” Yeti’s team continuously works to keep the snow plow software up-to-date, reliable and advancing with new innovations.
