PingChore is an automated weather notification system that monitors local forecasts and sends proactive alerts to service businesses when adverse weather like rain or heat threatens appointments. This allows for automated client rescheduling and significantly reduces lost revenue from last-minute cancellations.

The system monitors live radar and weather conditions automatically, sending SMS alerts to customers when rain or bad conditions are likely. It provides safety monitoring with metrics like average wind speed, precipitation percentage, and peak gusts to determine if conditions are safe for work. The service is intentionally simple with no spam, no AI/chatbots, no scheduling features, and no CRM integration.

PingChore works by having users add job locations or service areas, after which it automatically watches the forecast without requiring dashboard management. When rain is coming, it sends a text message to customers with a calm heads-up about potential timing issues. This eliminates the need for manual weather app refreshing and last-minute scrambling.

The primary benefit is reducing lost revenue from weather-related cancellations while eliminating hours spent texting, apologizing, and rearranging calendars. It enables clear communication early in the process rather than reactive explanations. The service helps businesses avoid the chaos that follows when weather ruins plans.

PingChore is built specifically for weather-dependent service businesses including landscapers, mobile auto detailers, pressure washers, outdoor services, event planners, and small service businesses where weather can cancel the work day. It's designed for businesses that deal with weather weekly and currently serves 500+ service professionals.
