What is Skippy?
Skippy is WasteBolt's quick-capture tool designed for field operatives who need to document standalone waste movements fast — without the overhead of creating a full Waste Transfer Note upfront.
Perfect for skip hire drivers doing one-off collections, weighbridge operators recording quick loads, or carriers handling ad-hoc movements. Create a lightweight docket on your phone in seconds, then generate a full digital WTN later when required.
Why we built Skippy
Field teams told us: "Most quick jobs don't need a full WTN immediately — but we still need photos, weights, signature and GPS for our records." Skippy delivers exactly that — fast, mobile, compliance-ready.
Mobile-First
Large buttons, single-page flow, touch-optimised. Works with gloves, outdoors.
Skip Presets
One-tap sets container type + physical form automatically. No typing needed.
Dual Photos
Skip contents + weighbridge ticket — stored securely, viewable anytime.
GPS + Address
One-tap location with accuracy reading and reverse-geocoded address.
Digital Signature
Inline touch pad. Driver signs on screen — legally binding, stored as image.
WTN Conversion
One-click Generate WTN pre-fills all captured data. Finish in seconds.
Step-by-Step: Using Skippy
Open Skippy
From the Dashboard, tap Quick Capture. Alternatively, navigate to Waste Movements → Dockets Hub and press the New Quick Capture button.
You can also go directly to /skippy from the navigation menu on mobile.
How to reach Skippy
Select Skip Type
Tap a preset from the quick-pick grid. Common skip sizes and vehicle types are available — selecting one automatically sets the container type and physical form (solid/liquid), saving you from manual entry.
Not on the list? Use Custom to enter any container type manually.

Add Customer & Waste Details
Quick-pick a saved customer from your address book or enter a new one. Add a waste description and EWC code if you know it — these are optional at this stage and can be confirmed when converting to a full WTN.
Save frequent customers to your address book to speed up future captures.
Capture Weights, Photos, GPS & Signature
Enter gross and tare weights — net is calculated automatically. Tap the GPS button for a one-tap location pin with accuracy reading. Snap skip contents and the weighbridge ticket with your camera. Capture a digital signature directly on-screen.
GPS accuracy varies by device and location. Indoor or underground sites may show reduced accuracy — note this in the description field if relevant.
