You don't need a £80/month field service platform to create waste transfer notes.
Enterprise field service tools are built for general trades and charge per user. QWTN is purpose-built for waste carriers at a fraction of the cost, with your whole team included.
Enterprise platforms do too much and charge too much.
General field service platforms are designed for HVAC engineers, plumbers, electricians, and logistics companies. Waste management features are bolted on as an afterthought.
You end up paying for quoting tools, CRM modules, scheduling systems for trades you do not operate in, and invoicing workflows that do not match how waste carriers work. All priced per user, per month.
A team of five drivers on enterprise software can easily cost £400-500 per month before you have created a single waste transfer note.

What you actually need as a waste carrier
QWTN includes every feature a waste carrier needs, without the bloat of general-purpose field service tools.
WTN creation in 60 seconds
Guided WTN wizard with saved templates, client details, and waste types. Create a fully compliant note from your phone before the lorry leaves.
EA carrier verification
Built-in Environment Agency carrier register lookup. Verify any carrier is registered before you transfer waste. No other platform does this natively.
E-signatures on any device
Both parties sign digitally, on any device. Legal under the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011. No chasing paper copies.
EWC code lookup
Search the full European Waste Catalogue directly in the note form. No need to look up codes in separate reference documents.
Plus fleet management, scheduling, H&S logging, and more. QWTN's Carrier and Fleet plans include DVSA walkarounds, collection scheduling, RAMS, skip tracking, client portals, and waste reporting. All built specifically for waste carriers, not adapted from plumbing or HVAC workflows.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about switching from enterprise field service software to QWTN.
Can QWTN replace my field service platform entirely?
For waste transfer notes, compliance, and fleet management, yes. QWTN covers WTN creation, e-signatures, cloud storage, EA carrier verification, EWC code lookup, fleet management, DVSA walkarounds, H&S logging, scheduling, and client portals. If you need general field service features like HVAC job costing or plumbing parts inventory, you would still need a separate tool for those.
How long does it take to switch from enterprise software to QWTN?
You can create your first WTN on QWTN in under 60 seconds with no account required. To fully migrate, most carriers are up and running within a day: add your company details, save your regular clients and waste types, and you are ready. There is no onboarding process, no sales call, and no contract to sign.
Is QWTN suitable for larger waste carriers?
Yes. The Fleet plan at £69/month includes unlimited team members, unlimited vehicles, multi-site management, white-label WTN PDFs, weighbridge tickets, subcontractor WTNs, and advanced waste reporting. It covers everything a multi-vehicle carrier operation needs, at a fraction of enterprise per-seat pricing.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No. All QWTN plans are month-to-month, and you can cancel at any time from your billing settings. There are no annual contracts, no cancellation fees, and no lock-in periods. Your data remains accessible and exportable even after cancellation.
What about data migration from my existing platform?
QWTN does not require bulk data migration to get started. You can begin creating digital WTNs immediately while still using your existing system for historical records. Going forward, all new notes, clients, and waste types are saved in QWTN automatically.
