Paid plans means any paid subscription; Solo+, Business+ and Enterprise are included from that plan upwards. Everything untagged is on every plan — Pay As You Go included.

Waste transfer notes

Legally compliant UK duty-of-care notes, from first field to signed PDF.

  • Unlimited digital WTNs

    No per-note cap on any subscription — create as many transfer notes as you move loads.

  • Guided wizard

    Customer and vehicle, waste details, photos, signatures — in order, so nothing statutory gets missed.

  • Mixed loads on one note

    Multiple EWC-coded waste streams on a single note, as the regulations intend.

  • Producer mode & self-carry

    Raise notes as the waste producer who hired a carrier; self-carried waste signs both sides and completes instantly.

  • Drafts

    Park a half-finished note and pick it up on any device — the office starts it, the driver finishes it.

  • Repeat a note

    One click clones a past job into a fresh note, with signatures, date and docket deliberately reset.

  • Waste profiles Business+

    Saved customer + waste + vehicle + destination bundles that pre-fill a whole note.

  • Waste defaults & quick codes

    Account-wide default waste details plus pinned EWC codes with your own names — synced between web and phone.

  • Custom numbering

    Four reference formats — sequential or random, with or without the date — running on your own counter.

  • Status tracking

    Draft, assigned, awaiting signature, complete — with badges on every list and a KPI strip up top.

  • Search & filters

    Free-text search across reference, docket, customer, EWC code and address, plus status filters.

  • Edits with an audit log

    Amend any note; every change lands in an immutable edit log and the PDF is rebuilt.

  • Weighbridge weights

    Gross and tare capture with derived net weight, an estimated-vs-weighed flag, and after-the-fact corrections.

  • Recycle bin

    Deleted notes are soft-deleted with a reason and restorable — plus a permanent purge when you truly need it.

  • Photo evidence

    Before and after load photos, each with a camera-vs-library provenance trail.

  • Docket attachments

    Attach weighbridge tickets, skip dockets and invoices to a note; they're listed on the PDF.

  • POPs declaration

    The persistent-organic-pollutants declaration DEFRA requires, with component concentrations.

  • DEFRA classification

    Official container types, physical form and container counts on every waste line.

  • Bulk actions

    Select many notes and send them to a receiving site, or chase every outstanding signature, in one go.

Hazardous waste

Consignment notes with the statutory wording each UK nation actually requires.

  • Full consignment notes

    Schedule 4 Parts A–E — HWCN in England and Wales, SWCN in Scotland, Northern Ireland's own regime.

  • Auto consignment codes

    Correctly formatted codes per jurisdiction, generated for you and validated for shape.

  • Three-party signing

    Consignor, carrier and consignee each sign separately — on-screen or by emailed/SMS link.

  • Statutory certificate wording

    Part C, D and E declarations verified against legislation.gov.uk and varied correctly by UK nation.

  • HP code suggestions

    HP1–HP15 hazard properties suggested from the chosen EWC entry.

    Several hazardous streams per consignment, plus multiple-collection round consignments.

  • Licensed-consignee guard

    Only sites flagged as hazardous waste facilities can be picked as the consignee.

  • Part E receipt capture

    The receiving site records date, quantity, R/D code and accepted, partially accepted or rejected.

One signed note covering repeat collections for up to 12 months.

  • Repeat-collection notes

    Same customer, same waste, same place — covered by one note for up to a year.

  • Collection log

    Record each pickup with quantity, vehicle and notes — the statutory schedule of transfers — with running totals.

  • Expiry management

    Active, expiring and expired statuses with automatic warning emails and a 30-day push notification.

  • Both-party signing

    Transferor and transferee sign on-screen or by emailed link.

  • Every delivery channel

    PDF, email, SMS, QR code, share link, send-to-station and a no-login public view page.

  • Feeds reporting

    Collections roll into tonnage and EWC reports alongside WTNs.

Digital signing

Legally binding e-signatures wherever the customer happens to be.

  • On-glass signatures

    Finger, stylus or mouse at the point of transfer — the producer signs right there.

  • Secure Sign links

    Email or SMS the customer a branded signing link — expiring, single-use and tamper-proof, with a visible countdown.

  • Sign-on-phone QR

    Show a QR to hop a signature capture from desktop to any phone in seconds.

  • Saved signature

    Store your carrier signature once and apply it with one tap — works offline; drivers keep their own.

    An optional third signature for the receiving site on plain WTNs, aligned with DEFRA's receipt workflow.

  • Re-sign with history

    Replace a bad signature while the original stays in the append-only trail.

    Resend or regenerate expired links, or let the recipient request a fresh one themselves.

  • Branded signing pages

    Your logo and brand colour on every page a customer signs — not ours.

  • Signature chase board

    Every note still owing a signature, grouped by who owes it, with bulk chase and automatic reminders.

    Signatures can only be captured at or after the transfer — protecting the integrity of the record.

Customer portal & sharing

Customers help themselves, without an account or a phone call.

  • Customer portal Solo+

    A private link where each customer views, downloads and signs all their documents — WTNs, HWCNs and season tickets together.

  • White-labelled Solo+

    The portal shows the carrier's logo, not WTNcloud's.

  • Revocable links Solo+

    Enable, disable or rotate a customer's portal link at any time — from web or the driver's phone.

  • QR & short codes

    Every note gets a printed short code and QR resolving to a view-only PDF — perfect for paper copies.

  • Read-only share links

    Tokenised view links share a PDF without granting portal access.

  • Open tracking

    When a shared link is opened, it's recorded in the note's audit trail.

Customers & CRM

A waste-specific address book, not a generic contacts list.

  • Unlimited customers

    Full records with contact person, structured addresses, email and phone.

  • Multi-site customers

    Named collection sites per customer — "Head office", "Site 12" — with a default.

  • CSV import Paid plans

    Pull existing Xero or QuickBooks contacts in as customers.

    Drop a site pin from GPS and the address fills itself, council included.

Compliance lookups & four-nation rules

The reference data of UK waste law, built into every form.

  • Full EWC catalogue

    All 842 European Waste Catalogue codes searchable in-app — bundled on the phone, so it works with no signal.

  • Mirror-entry aware

    Handles the 351 hazardous/non-hazardous mirror entries instead of guessing.

  • Hazard scoping

    A WTN's code picker only offers non-hazardous codes; an HWCN's only hazardous ones. No accidental bypass.

  • EA & SEPA register search

    Look up any waste operation, carrier or exemption by permit, name or postcode — England and Scotland searched together.

  • One-click permit checks

    Confirm a permit is live before you tip there, with verified badges.

  • Reference data built in

    SIC codes, R and D disposal/recovery codes, HP codes, POPs lists and DEFRA container types — with quick pins.

  • Four-nation rules engine

    Regulator, statute, form type, code formats and retention periods per UK nation.

  • Jurisdiction snapshots

    Every record keeps rendering under the regime it was created in, even if you later move region.

    Kilograms, tonnes, litres and cubic metres converted consistently across notes, reports and DEFRA filings.

Fleet, vehicles & walkaround checks

The compliance admin around the vehicles, not just the waste.

    The haulage firms you hire, with registration validity badges and a duplicate-registration guard.

  • Live DVSA MOT lookup

    Type a reg and get make, model, MOT status and expiry straight from DVSA.

  • MOT reminders

    Automatic nudges 30, 14 and 3 days before an MOT expires, with badges across the fleet list.

  • Transfer stations

    Save the sites you tip at, with permit numbers and contact emails.

  • Verified permits

    Create a station straight from an EA/SEPA register hit, with the permit snapshotted and badged.

  • Automatic re-verification

    A scheduled job re-checks your saved permits against the public register and flags anything that stops validating.

  • DVSA walkaround checks Solo+

    Daily vehicle checks matching the printed DVSA sheet, completed on phone or desktop — fully offline on mobile.

  • Three vehicle templates Solo+

    HGV rigid, HGV with trailer, and LGV/van — versioned so historical sheets never get relabelled.

  • Defect tracking Solo+

    Minor, major and dangerous defects with photos; dangerous defects flag the vehicle off-road.

  • Fitter workflow Solo+

    A printable job card, works-done capture, and a signing link for the fitter to certify rectification.

  • Inspection pack Solo+

    Print a whole check — sheet, signatures, defects — for a DVSA visit.

PDFs & branding

Paperwork that looks like your company produced it.

  • Branded PDFs

    Professional WTN, HWCN and season-ticket PDFs generated automatically for every record.

  • Template builder Business+

    Add your own sections, fields, dropdowns, checkboxes and signature blocks around the regulated note.

    Old notes keep rendering their original custom sections even after the template changes.

  • Audit-trail PDF

    A separate downloadable PDF of signatures, edits and communications for any note.

  • Rebuild on demand

    Regenerate any stored PDF after an edit or branding change.

Sending & notifications

The note reaches everyone who needs it, and you can see it did.

  • Branded email delivery

    The note goes to the customer as a branded email with the PDF attached — automatically on completion if you like.

  • Send anywhere

    Email any other address, text a link by SMS, or send straight to the tip's address on file — plus up to three standing BCC recipients.

  • Delivery visibility

    Sent, delivered, opened, bounced and link-clicked badges per note.

  • Xero & QuickBooks Solo+

Offline & sync

The network is an optimisation, never a dependency. WTNs work end-to-end with no signal.

    Producer details, waste, POPs, photos and both signatures — a complete WTN, end to end, offline. On the phone and in the browser.

  • Background sync

    The app wakes in the background to upload queued notes while it sits unopened in your pocket — and on Android, even after a force-quit or a reboot.

  • Syncs at every chance

    On launch, on reconnect, on foreground, every 15 minutes — plus a manual Sync Now.

  • Duplicate-proof

    An upload that reached the server but lost its reply is recovered, never duplicated.

  • Data-protecting conflict rules

    Completions are never downgraded, signatures are never cleared by the server, photos are only ever added.

  • Offline reference data

    The full EWC catalogue, your customers, vehicles, stations and templates all live on the device.

    Photos and signatures taken offline keep the real capture time, not the time signal returned.

    Per driver or org-wide: create own notes, use company vehicles and stations, see customer contact details.

  • Edit window Solo+

    A configurable window after completion during which a driver can still correct a job.
