Roadmap

Where the project is heading

Nothing on this page is available today. Items are marked In preparation when the foundations are in the code but the feature is not finished, Planned when the path is clear, and Vision when the idea is long-term.

Status can change. Some items will move forward, some will be set aside. The status of the actual implementation lives in the repository.

Legend: In preparationPlannedVision

Module system

A pluggable module architecture so that compliance, weather, notification, and export features can be added without forking the core.

  • Module framework

    In preparation

    Architectural foundations exist in the codebase. The public module API and installation flow are not yet finished.

  • JSON-driven module catalogue

    Planned

    A modules.json data source will drive build-time generation of a module catalogue on this website. Format is being finalised.

  • Module status labels in the UI

    Planned

    Every module page will show its status (available, in development, planned) visibly so that users never confuse vision with reality.

Country-specific compliance modules

Optional modules tailored to documentation needs in specific jurisdictions. None of these are available today.

  • Germany — Verkehrssicherungspflicht context

    Vision

    Documentation tuned to German liability documentation conventions.

  • United States

    Vision

    Documentation tuned to US contractor expectations.

  • Canada

    Vision

    Documentation tuned to Canadian provincial differences.

  • United Kingdom

    Vision

    Documentation tuned to UK GDPR and HSE context.

  • Austria

    Vision

    Documentation tuned to Austrian liability practice.

  • Switzerland

    Vision

    Documentation tuned to Swiss cantonal practice.

Platform and integration

Long-running platform investments that shape what Wintertrace can do in five years.

  • Public REST API

    Vision

    A documented public REST API for read-only integration into ERP and accounting systems. The architecture is prepared; the API surface is not yet defined.

  • Multi-installation operator overview

    Vision

    For larger operators who run more than one installation, a roll-up view across installations. Not in scope today.

  • Managed hosting (optional service)

    Vision

    Operators who do not want to self-host could opt into managed hosting on the maintainer's infrastructure. Optional, never required.

Summer operations

Extending the documentation model beyond winter — long-term, not soon.

  • Grounds maintenance module

    Vision

    Mowing, hedge cutting, and other ground maintenance operations using the same GPS + weather + photo + PDF model.

  • Year-round operator profile

    Vision

    Allow operators to switch between winter and summer modes without separate installations.

About country-specific compliance modules: these are roadmap items, not deliverables. They are marked Vision and will only ever be described as available once they are implemented, released, and reviewed by someone with relevant subject-matter knowledge.

Wintertrace provides documentation support. It is not a substitute for legal advice.

Implementation tracking lives on GitHub.
