LoadSnap, for the people
moving the waste.

Skip hire, grab lorries, tipper crews, and the trades and mobile businesses that carry their own waste as self-carriers. Capture every load at the kerb, classify it against 850+ EWC codes, and hand the DEFRA paperwork to LoadSnap. Designed around your driver - not your office.

How it works

How it works for carriers

Native app or no-install web app - both work on any phone.

AdminDriver

Create the job

Admin sets customer, site, vehicle, driver and the expected waste

Driver sees the job

In the app or no-install web app. Navigate via Google Maps or Waze

Capture each waste item

Photo the load where it's visible; sealed containers are keyed in manually. Add anything the job missed

AI classifies

Suggests EWC code and description per item - the driver can edit and add EWCs

Driver submits the collection

Marks the job collected. Record + WTN generated, stored 2+ years

Admin can review & edit

Office can amend the record. In Phase 2 this is the point it's filed to DEFRA

Customer request link

Let your customers request collections

Share a link. Your customer describes the waste, AI classifies it, and the request lands as an enquiry you convert to a job in one click.

Convert to job

One click. All fields pre-filled. Assign driver and vehicle. Done

Your customers get a professional experience. You get structured enquiries instead of phone calls.

Beyond compliance

More than just compliance

Your drivers have a portal. Your vehicles are tracked. Your data connects to your accounting.

Vehicle checks

Daily pre-use checks with photo issue reporting, odometer tracking, MOT and tax alerts

Driver management

Full profiles. Licence expiry. Training records. Smart assignment matching qualifications to job requirements.

Job scheduling

List, calendar, and map views. Assign drivers and vehicles. One-tap navigation via Google Maps or Waze.

Driver map

See where drivers last completed a job. Timestamps and job locations with the day's route.

Expense + fuel logging

Drivers photograph receipts. AI reads amount, merchant, litres. Admin approves. CSV export.

Fuel finder

Live fuel prices at every UK station, filtered by fuel type. Powered by FuelChecker.

Route planning

Jobs on a map with optimised stop order. Turn-by-turn via Google Maps or Waze. No app.

Digital signatures

Customer signs on the driver's phone. Signature embedded on the Waste Transfer Note PDF.

The carrier workflow

Everything between the yard gate and DEFRA submission.

One screen for the driver. One screen for the office. Every record gets to the regulator without anyone retyping it.

Driver app

No-install web app the driver opens from a link; native iOS and Android apps coming. Works offline. The driver's up in minutes.

AI classification

Photo of the load → EWC code, hazardous flag, plain-English description in under a second.

Carrier verification

Every onward carrier auto-checked against the Environment Agency public register at booking time.

Fleet & vehicle checks

DVLA-linked checks, MOT history, defect logs, walk-arounds - captured before the wheels turn.

Job scheduling

Drag-and-drop jobs onto crews. Recurring contracts. Driver gets the run on their phone.

Invoicing

Contract → quote → invoice → Xero / Sage / QuickBooks. No double-keying, no missed loads.

Carrier-side superpower

The driver opens an app. The office gets a complete record.

Every step - customer, photos, weight, EWC, signature - is captured at the point of work. By the time the truck is back, the WTN is filed, the invoice is queued, and the DEFRA submission is on its way.

  • Customer signature on the screen

    No more chasing for paper. Producer signs, copy goes to their inbox, original is on the WTN.

  • Carrier licence verification

    Onward carriers and subbies checked against the EA register at booking, not at audit time.

  • Sage / Xero / QuickBooks export

    Pre-built direct integrations. Or CSV/API for everything else.
