Connecting six resorts via remote server

Not usual for Steep to report on the activities of SEC Gmbh, partners in Steep Management, but SEC has just inked a contract with the Schultz family group, www.schultz-ski.at which owns six ski resorts, eight hotels, and a golf course.
The news that is important is that this installation will be on a central remote server connected via the Internet throughout the six ski resorts. Other resorts have migrated to this type of installation as they have expanded their holdings or expanded the use of MountainOffice. The Schultz group has seen the value of having each resort manage their maintenance and parts but yet have the ability from a management perspective to oversee all the resorts as a single entity. Best of both worlds.
The configuration of the network is quite simple and does not involve much in the way of additional equipment.
MountainOffice has adapted to the consolidation within the ski industry worldwide. This connectivity of resorts enables organizations like Vail Resorts, Alterra, Powdr, and Boyne here in North America to consider MountainOffice as a real solution to their maintenance management providing the flexibility in allowing the individual resorts to operate with their workflows and processes but have oversight from a corporate perspective. The value gained is substantial as compared to using non ski area software or creating internal applications. MountainOffice can provide the needs at a very substantial value savings versus the alternatives.

Dispatch

The dispatch and risk module leverage Esri’s Survey 123 for ArcGIS, providing an intuitive survey-form, data-driven workflow for point feature collection and reporting. Data collected with SmartMountain Survey apps, which are available for both web browsers and native desktop and mobile apps for standard operating systems, are integrated with one or more SmartMountain modules, providing real-time or disconnected and later synchronized workflows for data collection and integration.

Each ski resort decided what they wish to display on the Dispatch Dashboard including on-hill incidents, walk-in incidents, on-hill refusals,  missing persons, work details for different departments, ski patrol rosters for the day, clearances, and sweeps.
