Two forecasts in. Per-site rules pick the night.
Met Office and MetDesk feed the rules engine - frost at +2°C, light snow at any accumulation. Sites get flagged before anyone steps in.

The UK's gritting platform. Every pass logged, photographed, invoiced.
The forecast triggers the night. Drivers confirm on their phones. Spreader-on traces prove the work. Invoices generate themselves by breakfast. One platform - built for British winters, by a British company.

The USP
Most software runs on the calendar.
Most software runs on the calendar.
Ours watches the sky.
Two independent forecast feeds - Met Office and MetDesk - pull at 16:00. Per-site trigger temperatures decide which clients need a visit. Shifts generate. Drivers get texted. Customers are emailed their forecast on your letterhead. No dispatcher. No phone-tree.
And when the system is wrong - a soft forecast, a borderline night - the "go anyway" and "skip tonight" overrides take one tap. Audit log records who, when, and why.

The night, hour by hour
From forecast
to invoice, automatic.
Seven moments of a real winter night. The platform handles every handoff between them - the only human in the loop is the driver in the cab.
Customers see it before you do - under your brand.
A branded email goes to every affected client with tonight's forecast and schedule, one-tap cancellation per site. No phone tree, no morning surprises.
298
emails out · 4 auto-cancelled
Rotas go out. Drivers confirm on their phone.
Each driver gets a text with tonight's sites in route order. They tap "I'm on" - the dispatcher only steps in if a confirmation's missing.

confirmed before 18:00
Optimised routes. Turn-by-turn from the cab.
Sites sorted by distance and shift type, turn-by-turn from the cab. Spreader-on traces record in the background - no paper run-sheets, no missed sites.

Visits compile into invoices. The whiteboard goes in the skip.

Route planner · Per driver, every night
Routes built per driver,
every night.
When tonight's shift generates, every driver gets an ordered waypoint list - origin, sites in optimised order, depot return. No more "where's the list?" at 02:30. Routes account for postcode geography, salt-load capacity, and the per-site time windows your contracts specify.
- Optimised waypoint order Postcodes geocoded · shortest practical route
- Lat/long flagged Sites missing coordinates surface for review
- Per-driver, per-shift Regenerated when triggers change after 16:00
- Reuses the same engine on Grounds Visit-order on day routes, identical UI

No-one rolls out unconfirmed.
Read receipts, not phone calls.
Every driver gets an email the moment shifts generate. They tap "I'm on" to confirm. Confirmations come back automatically. The dispatcher's screen shows red until every driver has confirmed - so missing confirmations get chased before midnight, not at 02:25.

Inside the system · Real screens
The same back office
your dispatcher uses tonight.
Two screens that drive every gritting round: the shift overview where allocated teams, works and SQM totals are confirmed, and the planned-tasks view where overdue jobs surface for reschedule. Real screens - not mock-ups.
The mobile app
Every visit photographed, timed and signed off from the cab.
Your team opens the app, sees their sites for the day, taps through the tasks. Photos for proof. Notes against any incomplete job. A visible timer on every visit. It all syncs back the moment they hit Complete.
- Shift view Today's sites, in route order
- Task cards Per-site actions, notes & H&S
- Photo evidence Timestamped & geotagged
- Live timer Minutes-on-site for every visit
- Offline-safe Queues when signal drops
- iOS & Android Install from App Store / Play
Client comms
Stop the 11pm cancellation calls.
Three customer-facing surfaces - a branded "intention to grit" email, a one-tap self-service cancellation link, and a fully white-labelled client portal. All sent on your domain, in your colours. The Inflowgenics name never appears.
Intention-to-grit emails
Tonight's forecast goes out as a branded email from your domain - which sites are scheduled, expected start times, and a one-tap cancel link per site. Customers see it before you do.
298 sent
· 97% opened by 22:00
Self-service cancellations
Each customer's alert email contains a one-tap cancel link, scoped to a single site for a single night. The shift removes itself from the run, and the driver sees the change before they roll.
4 cancels

White-label client portal
Customers log in to a portal under your domain - see past visits, salt used, photographic proof, GPS traces, sign-off PDFs. Accept this season's contract online. No app to install.

Read articleCommon questions · gritting buyers
What gritting operators actually ask.
From real first-call questions, weather to insurance.
Where does your weather data come from?
We support two independent feeds: the UK Met Office and MetDesk. We define when they are processed. Per-site trigger temperatures are evaluated - if a site crosses your RST threshold, it's loaded onto the shift.
What happens if the forecast is wrong?
The shift is primed by the system, but you sign it off and can amend as required before so - You can also enable customer notifications and customer opt-out if wanted. All the initial leg work is done by the system, but nothing is set in stone until you confirm it.
Do you integrate with Resellers?
Yes. We import nightly site lists, schedules and visit data from other UK resellers. Their sites appear alongside your direct customers in your dashboard, audit trail and invoice run. The handoff is white-labelled - your reseller's clients never see the Inflowgenics name.
Can we onboard mid-season?
Yes, and many operators do - usually in October or November. A typical onboarding takes 2-3 weeks: site import, rule configuration, driver setup, accounting integration. We run alongside your existing system for the first fortnight so nothing slips. Winter on-call kicks in the moment you go live.
What insurance and audit cover does this give us?
Every visit carries a timestamp, GPS breadcrumb, salt usage, and photographs. The audit trail is immutable once a shift closes, exportable as KML/CSV/PDF, and stored for 7 years. It's the same evidence pack your insurer wants if a slip-and-fall claim lands the morning after a treated visit.
What does it talk to on the accounting side?
Native exports to Xero, Sage and QuickBooks. Visit-level invoice lines flow through automatically - site, date, shift type, salt used, contract rate. Most customers move from end-of-month invoicing taking three days to taking three hours.
Can it handle multi-depot operators?
Yes. The platform supports as many or as little operators and sites as required. Powered by auto scaling cloud tech, it will grow with you.
Is there a winter on-call?
Yes. UK office hours support from October through April plus a winter on-call line - real engineers, not chatbots, on a Hertfordshire phone number. We pick up at 03:00 on a frost night because that's when frost-night problems happen.
See it run on your own postcodes.
30-minute demo, no slides. We'll pull tonight's forecast against your sites, generate a shift live, and walk through the invoicing on the other end. UK time, by a UK engineer.
