Company · About

Built in Leeds.
For the people moving the bins.

LoadSnap was started in 2024 by a team that had spent too long watching paper waste transfer notes get stapled to clipboards in the rain. We thought there was a better way.

Our mission

The waste industry deserves better tools.

The UK moves around 200 million tonnes of waste a year. It's tracked, until recently, on paper. People who run yards spend half their week chasing tickets, deciphering EWC codes, and re-keying weighbridge totals into spreadsheets. We're going to fix that.

  • Specific, not generic

    We don't sell ERP, CRM, or 'any-industry workflow software'. We build software for waste compliance only.

  • Drivers first

    If the driver can't use it on their phone in the rain, none of the rest matters. That's where we start every feature.

  • Quietly with the regulator

    We're on the DEFRA digital waste tracking implementation panel. Helping shape the spec, not just complying with it.

Values

How we work.

Show up on site

We spend at least one day a month at a customer site. If we haven't seen it, we don't ship it.

Compliance is the product

Pretty UI doesn't matter if the WTN's wrong. We obsess about the regulatory detail.

Boring is good

Waste software shouldn't be exciting. It should be predictable. Quietly, every day, on time.

Hire from the industry

Half our team have run yards, weighbridges, or fleets. We don't translate; we already speak it.

UK first, UK only

We're a UK regulatory tool. We're not selling this in California. That clarity makes the product better.

Ship every week

Weekly release cadence since launch. Small changes, often. Big changes when the regulator catches up.
