Offline-first continuity

How WasteSync works

A resilient, offline-first bridge between your weighbridge and the central DEFRA and SEPA digital waste tracking systems.

Continuous weighbridge compliance.

Digital Waste Tracking (DWT) has been mandatory for receiving sites in England and Wales since 1st October 2026. It comes to Scotland on 1st January 2027, enforced by SEPA. Standard cloud-based software stops working the moment a cellular or broadband connection drops. WasteSync records every load at the weighbridge and files it with the UK Digital Waste Tracking service, online or off. This page walks through how, including the technical detail.

The five-step lifecycle.

  1. What the operator sees

    Operators enter waste details on a standard tablet or desktop kiosk. The interface looks and acts the same online or completely isolated. Input checks run instantly at the edge.

  2. What happens during a local outage

    If broadband drops, WasteSync routes every ticket record to an encrypted local vault on the device. Transactions complete locally in milliseconds. Haulier signatures are captured on the screen.

  3. What happens when the regulator service is unavailable

    If the central DEFRA or SEPA servers go down while your own internet is fine, WasteSync buffers submissions automatically. Your scale operations stay separate from external government service outages.

  4. What happens when the network returns

    Once the connection is back, background sync streams the queued tickets securely. A dead-letter queue holds any schema mapping issues without locking the weighbridge. Read more about the verification behind this in our guide to building real trust in waste tracking data.

  5. What your team needs to install

    No hardware changes. WasteSync runs as a progressive web app (PWA) on existing weighbridge desktops or rugged handheld tablets. Setup takes under 15 minutes.

Frequently asked questions.

Do we need custom server racks on-site?
No. WasteSync runs locally in the browser on your existing kiosk, laptop or tablet, storing records in the device's own database. If the browser is open, the system is fully operational.
How long can the system run completely offline?
Indefinitely. The local vault has no storage expiry. It accumulates tickets and signatures locally, then syncs them in order when a network connection is detected.
What happens if the browser tab is closed during an outage?
All data is persisted in the device's secure local sandbox storage. Reopening the browser tab retrieves the local database immediately without any loss of data.
