What Is WasteBolt Gatehouse?
WasteBolt Gatehouse is a lightweight Windows desktop application that sits on your yard office computer and watches for new CSV files exported by your weighbridge software. When a new export appears, Gatehouse picks it up automatically and imports the movement data into WasteBolt as staged records ready to become WTNs — no manual upload, no double entry, no one remembering to do it.
It is the fully automated version of WasteBolt's CSV import workflow. Where the manual Import Hub requires someone to upload a file, map the columns, and approve the batch, WasteBolt Gatehouse handles all of that in the background, without any human intervention after the initial setup.
For high-throughput transfer stations and recyclers running weighbridge software that exports CSV — Globeweigh, Avery Weigh-Tronix, Mettler Toledo, Rice Lake, or any custom system — WasteBolt Gatehouse turns a daily manual task into a zero-touch background process.
How It Works
1. Weighbridge software exports a CSV — Your existing weighbridge software produces a CSV export of movements. WasteBolt Gatehouse monitors the folder where these files appear.
2. Gatehouse detects the new file — Gatehouse runs continuously in the background. When it detects a new CSV, it picks it up within seconds.
3. Column mapping applied automatically — You set up a column mapping once in WasteBolt — which column is vehicle reg, which is gross weight, which is ticket ID. Gatehouse applies it to every subsequent file.
4. Import Templates match each load — WasteBolt's Import Templates auto-fill producer, carrier, consignee, and EWC code for each matching load. No manual data entry per movement.
5. Records staged for review — Matched records land in Import Review ready to process. One click converts them to WTNs. Unmatched records surface as Needs Attention.
6. Files moved automatically — Gatehouse moves each CSV to Processed/ after a successful run, or Failed/ if something went wrong.
Compatible Weighbridge Systems
Works with any system that exports CSV: Globeweigh, Avery Weigh-Tronix, Mettler Toledo, Rice Lake, and any custom format.
