## 3. Benefit bullets

1. **Met Office road-surface forecasting** - OpenSite monitors hyper-localised
   road surface temperatures, not general air temperature, so turnouts happen
   when your site actually needs them.
2. **GPS-tracked fleet** - every vehicle tracked, every visit accountable and
   evidenced.
3. **Duty-of-care records** - delivery reports after each application document
   due diligence and help mitigate liability risk.
4. **Overnight, before you open** - teams deploy while the car park is clear, so
   surfaces are treated before the first shift arrives.
5. **Premium white marine salt** - effective at lower temperatures, no dirty
   residue tracked into your building.
6. **Snow clearance & grit bins** - same contract, same point of contact.

---

## 4. Three/four-step process

1. **Site assessment** - we walk your site, identify critical areas (roads,
   paths, entrances, loading bays, fire escapes) and agree the plan and trigger
   temperature.
2. **Forecast monitoring** - daily monitoring against Met Office OpenSite
   road-surface forecasts through the season.
3. **Overnight application** - when surface temperature is forecast at 0 °C or
   below, your local team treats the site overnight with white marine salt.
4. **Report & re-check** - you receive a delivery report, and monitoring
   continues in case re-application is needed.

## 7. FAQ (verbatim from client content, lightly edited for clarity)

1. **How do you decide when my property needs gritting?** OpenSite, a premium Met
   Office forecasting service built for the gritting industry, monitors
   hyper-localised road surface temperatures; our team reviews forecasts daily
   and mobilises only when freezing is expected.
2. **What times of day does the gritting service operate?** Primarily overnight,
   so car parks, paths and roadways are ready for early morning activity;
   availability is maintained through the winter season.
3. **Pay As You Go vs Season Price?** PAYG is invoiced monthly for visits made.
   Season Price is a fixed cost 1 Nov - 31 Mar including unlimited applications
   as dictated by the forecast.
4. **What salt do you use?** Premium white marine salt - generally more effective
   at lower temperatures and leaves no dirty residue.
5. **Which areas are covered?** Determined by site assessment; typically roads,
   pathways, main entrances, loading bays and fire escapes.
6. **Snow clearance or grit bins?** Yes - both are available alongside gritting.
