Evidence, not permission
Checks every slurry job against the rules, the ground and the forecast — and keeps the proof.
A fast check at the field gate, and a tamper-evident record your farmers can hand an inspector. Slurry and digestate, England and Wales.
Pilot live February 2027 England & Wales Slurry & digestate
Every spreading job is a legal judgement made in a gateway.
01
“Waterlogged” has no meter
The Farming Rules for Water ban spreading on waterlogged, flooded, snow-covered or frozen ground. Someone still has to make that call in the gateway — and defend it later.
02
Inspections are rising
The Environment Agency is moving towards 6,000 farm inspections a year by 2029, and the paperwork is part of the test: the forecast that was checked, and a map of the risks.
03
The contractor is in the middle
The legal duty sits with the farmer, but the operator makes the call on the day. Usually neither has a shared, timestamped record of what was actually checked.
One status for each field, with its reasons beside it.
Spreadproof weighs the closed periods, the forecast and a soil-water estimate for every field, and shows a single status — with the numbers and sources behind it. The operator can only ever make it stricter.
22 mm of rain forecast in the next 48 hours.

A status is never a permission. Spreadproof never says a job is legal, compliant or safe to spread — it says what was checked and what was found. Every reason carries its number, unit and source.
The whole loop — and a record at the end of it.
Step 1
Set up the farm
Draw the fields once. Spreadproof fills in soil, watercourses, slope and NVZ status, and builds the risk map inspectors ask for.
Step 2
Plan the job
Pick the fields, date, material and operator — and record who asked for the job, when and how.
Step 3
Check at the gate
Three taps, works with no signal. Spreading can only ever start from a completed gate check.
Step 4
Record the spread
The route, applicator, volume and rate are recorded as the job runs — offline, and with the screen locked.
Step 5
Lock the record
On finishing, the record locks and is chained with a hash. Corrections are amendments; the original is always kept.
Step 6
Share the proof
The farmer gets a one-page evidence pack with a verification code, and can export every record about their land.
Built for everyone at the gate — and the desk.
Contractor owners
Web and phoneFewer risky jobs, and a defensible record for every one. Plan jobs, read the day board, and give your farmers something no one else does.
Operators
Phone appA quick, clear call at the gate with gloves on — no paperwork, and no feeling tracked off the job. Location is recorded only while a job is running.

Evidence, not permission. Your records, kept for you.
- Spreadproof never claims a job is legal or safe to spread. It records what was checked and what was found.
- Records are append-only and tamper-evident. A corrected record always keeps its original, so it holds up at inspection.
- Your data is never sold, and never sent to regulators. Records leave only when you or your farmer choose to share them.
- Everything is stored in the UK. Leaving is as easy as joining — export everything, any time.
