Paper vs LoadSnap,
side by side.

The same waste movement, two ways. See exactly what changes when you swap carbon-copy transfer notes and spreadsheets for a phone and an AI.

The difference

Same job. A fraction of the friction.

Every row is a real step in handling a single waste movement, before and after.

Before · paper & spreadsheets

  • Driver fills out a triplicate paper transfer note by hand at the roadside
  • EWC code guessed or looked up in a printed list
  • Carbon copies posted, scanned, or lost before they reach the office
  • Office re-keys every ticket into a spreadsheet at month end
  • DEFRA submission is a separate, manual, deadline-driven scramble
  • Producer rings up asking for a copy of last month's WTNs
  • An audit means a day digging through lever-arch files

After · LoadSnap

  • Driver photographs the load; the WTN generates itself with the right EWC code
  • AI returns the EWC code, hazardous flag, and plain-English description instantly
  • The record is in the system the moment the photo is taken
  • Nothing is re-keyed — invoicing and reporting build from the same records
  • Submit to the DEFRA API in two clicks, or automatically
  • Producer downloads their own documents from a self-serve portal
  • An audit pack exports in one click, fully searchable

Questions

Good to know.

Most small operators are logging loads the same day. Multi-site operators typically go fully paperless within a few weeks, depot by depot.
