Denver Commercial Property Services (DCPS), a company that specializes in snow removal and weather-dependent property management, operates in the heart of Colorado, where unpredictable weather is both a challenge and a critical component of their business. Serving over 300 commercial clients, DCPS goes beyond just clearing snow—they focus on proactive liability risk management. By ensuring that properties remain safe from the start to the end of every storm, DCPS minimizes risk and maximizes safety, which is a major concern for their clients.
The weather is a huge factor in DCPS’s operations. With Colorado’s often erratic weather patterns, DCPS must always stay ahead of any incoming weather threats.
“Weather plays a critical role in our operations, as unexpected storms or changing conditions can directly affect our ability to keep properties safe and operational,” Drew Wallace, Operations Manager of DCPS, said.
If DCPS fails to anticipate or respond to weather events in a timely manner, the ramifications can be severe. Unpreparedness can lead to dangerous slip-and-fall incidents, costly liabilities, strained labor, and damaged reputations. Now, insert Clarity by BAM Weather.
Clarity has been a transformative tool for DCPS. With its real-time alerts, custom forecasts, radar tools, and future outlooks, Clarity provides DCPS with the accuracy they need to make informed decisions.
“Clarity/BAM Weather has revolutionized our decision-making process by providing accurate and timely information,” Wallace mentioned. “It eliminates the guesswork in predicting Colorado’s volatile weather and allows us to make real-time adjustments.”
One specific event highlighted the true value of Clarity. During a particularly volatile storm last season, Clarity provided DCPS with precise updates on when snowfall would begin and end, along with details on accumulation rates. This allowed for hours to be saved on labor costs and ensured that properties were cleared promptly.
“Without this information, we likely would have overcommitted resources and burned out our teams unnecessarily,” Wallace said.
The Clarity platform not only reduces operational strain, but also optimizes labor and resources, ensuring that DCPS can meet client needs promptly and effectively. When asked what the most beneficial part of Clarity, Wallace put it best:
“The biggest benefit of having Clarity and BAMWX is the ability to make informed, real-time decisions with confidence. In a state like Colorado, where weather can change in minutes, this level of accuracy and reliability is invaluable.”
