Turn gritting rounds into claim-ready evidence every time
Winter Gritting & Ice Clearance logs the temperatures, spread rates, salt used and photos that prove your rounds were done — standalone, on Odoo 20, with a one-click certificate for every claim.
The problem
A slip-and-fall claim can land up to three years after an icy morning, and your only defence is proof the gritting actually happened. Paper logbooks, spreadsheets and phone photos do not capture road surface temperature, spread rate or footway coverage, are not linked to the site in question, and offer no audit trail — so when a solicitor’s letter arrives, there is nothing defensible to hand over.
The solution
Winter Gritting & Ice Clearance gives every round a dedicated, sequenced record: temperatures, spread rate, area treated, salt used and footway/step coverage, moved through a tracked Draft, Confirmed, Done workflow with a full chatter audit trail. Each round links straight to the customer or site it was performed for, and a single click produces a dated gritting certificate ready for an insurer or solicitor.
Everything a defensible gritting record needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Purpose-built round record
Dedicated fields for round name, trigger reason, road surface temperature and air temperature capture the exact data a slip claim turns on, recorded at the point of work instead of buried in free text.
Automatic reference sequencing
Every round is assigned a unique, human-readable reference such as GRIT/2026/00001 on creation, so records stay traceable and cannot be silently duplicated or lost.
Spread rate and treated area
Record grams-per-square-metre applied and the area treated, giving quantifiable proof that the treatment met a defensible standard.
Salt and grit stock tracking
Each round can draw from a named salt stock bin. Used and remaining quantities are computed automatically from confirmed and done rounds, so you always know what has been consumed and when to re-order.
Footways and steps documentation
Explicit carriageway, footway and step flags confirm pedestrian surfaces were treated, since the highest-liability claims come from footways and steps — not just the car park itself.
Draft, Confirmed, Done workflow
A controlled three-stage status progression, with every change timestamped and attributed in the chatter, turns each round into tamper-evident evidence rather than an editable note.
Customer and site history
A smart button on every customer record opens its full gritting-round history in one click, giving instant proof and context per site when a query or claim comes in.
Claim-defence certificate
Print a dated gritting certificate per round directly from the record — temperatures, spread rate, area, salt used and surfaces treated laid out as a document ready to hand an insurer or solicitor.
Evidence photos per round
Attach timestamped before, after and site-condition photos directly to the round, so the visual proof sits with the numeric record instead of scattered across chat messages.
How it works
Log the round
Record the customer/site, trigger reason, temperatures, spread rate and salt used as the work happens.
Confirm the treatment
Move the round to Confirmed once the work is verified — salt stock usage updates automatically.
Mark it done
Close out the round as Done, with every status change timestamped in the audit trail.
Produce the evidence
Pull up the customer’s full round history or print a gritting certificate the moment a claim arrives.
