## Overview

### Key benefits of CarrierNote

\* Keeps receiving sites compliant with DEFRA's mandatory Digital Waste Tracking scheme by filing records directly with DEFRA under the operator's own site, eliminating manual re-keying.
\* Real-time validation at point of entry catches errors against regulatory rules before a record is saved, while the vehicle is still on site rather than via a rejection notification days later.
\* Offline mode queues receipts and up to 30 captioned photos per load on-device, syncing automatically when connectivity is restored, so gate operations continue without a signal.
\* Offline contingency mode with on-screen guidance maintains operations when the DEFRA service itself is unavailable, with failed sends auto-retried and corrections re-filed as updates.
\* Gate-level load recording with pre-filled arrival time and site details captures all DEFRA-required fields including EWC codes, physical form, container type, weight, hazardous properties, and recovery or disposal codes in under a minute.
\* Hazardous load support covers consignment notes with HP codes, POPs recording, and acceptance or rejection sign-off within the same workflow.
\* Two-working-day compliance clock with a status dashboard shows every load as recorded, due today, or overdue, giving operators a clear view of outstanding obligations.
\* Statutory records are retained in full (transfer notes for two years, consignment notes for three years) and remain accessible even if a subscription lapses, satisfying Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales retention requirements.
\* Quarterly regulatory returns are auto-populated from logged receipts, removing manual collation from the reporting cycle.
\* Full archive with search by customer, site, waste type, or note number, plus CSV export and volume reporting by month, waste type, and customer, supports audits and operational analysis.
\* Saved contacts for hauliers and waste producers reduce repetitive data entry across multiple movements.
\* Approved on the GOV.UK software list, allowing operators to independently verify compliance credentials before adoption.
\* Unlimited waste records on all paid plans, with plan tiers differing only by number of users, and a free plan offering 10 movements per calendar month with no card required and no time limit, making the platform accessible to operators of any size.

Designed for permitted waste receiving sites including transfer stations, treatment sites, and tips, as well as waste carriers, brokers, and dealers, it logs incoming waste loads at the gate and files receipts directly with DEFRA under the operator's own site credentials. Approved on the GOV.UK software list, it connects to the live DEFRA service and covers receiving sites ahead of the October 2026 mandate, with carrier, broker, and dealer coverage ahead of the October 2027 mandate. No installation is required; the web application runs on mobile devices for yard use and desktop screens at the weighbridge office.\n\nGate-level load recording captures all DEFRA-required fields including EWC codes, physical form, container type, weight, hazardous properties, and recovery or disposal codes, with arrival time and site details pre-filled to complete a record in under a minute. Real-time validation checks entries against regulatory rules before saving, catching errors while the vehicle is still on site. Hazardous load workflows cover consignment notes with HP codes, POPs recording, and acceptance or rejection sign-off. A two-working-day compliance clock with a status dashboard tracks every load as recorded, due today, or overdue. DEFRA integration stores the Waste Tracking ID against each movement, auto-retries failed submissions, and re-files corrections as updates. An offline contingency mode queues receipts and photos on-device, syncing automatically when connectivity is restored, with on-screen guidance when the DEFRA service itself is unavailable.\n\nCarrierNote supports full statutory record retention: transfer notes for two years and consignment notes for three years, remaining accessible even if a subscription lapses. A searchable archive allows filtering by customer, site, waste type, or note number, with CSV export and volume reporting by month, waste type, and customer. Quarterly regulatory returns are auto-populated from logged receipts. Saved contacts for hauliers and waste producers reduce re-entry across movements. Unlimited waste records are available on all paid plans, with plans differing only by number of users. A free plan provides 10 waste movements per calendar month with no card required and no time limit, making the platform accessible to operators of any size across England, Wales, and equivalent permit jurisdictions.","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2380395/carriernote","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2380395/carriernote#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Waste Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1321/waste-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"CarrierNote","position":3,"item":"/software/2380395/carriernote","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2380395/carriernote#breadcrumblist"}]}
