A badge that's earned. Not bought.
Behind every badge, 15 years of snow operations powered by FolloSOFT. Concrete criteria, verified every season — so that “certified” actually means something.
Three levels of trust.
Every Guardian is a real, insured business. Certified contractors run their day-to-day operations on FolloSoft technology. Accredited — the top level, based on specific criteria being defined — is coming soon.
No contractor holds this level yet. Its full criteria will be announced by the program.
How the audit works.
Legal check
Business existence, registration and liability insurance confirmed against public records.
Operating data
Real snow-removal history, measured via FolloTRAC — routes, jobs, completed seasons.
Client references
Validated client contacts and verified satisfaction, feeding the upper tiers.
Decision & renewal
Status assigned, then re-assessed every season. The badge can be revoked if no longer earned.
What the badge guarantees the client.
Questions about certification.
Can the badge be bought?
No. The badge rests on verified criteria. Companies fund the program, but no payment replaces verification.
How often are Guardians re-verified?
Every season. Insurance, history and references are re-assessed before the badge is renewed.
What if a Guardian doesn't deliver?
Report it from their profile. Every report is reviewed and can lead to suspension or revocation of the badge.
