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.

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.
