Every client's loads on one screen, and which are late before the EA does.
Byrne Waste Tracking records each load a permitted site receives and sends it to Defra.
Your clients sign themselves up from your own link, and you see every one of them on a single screen. It costs
you nothing.

Part B · Working together
The terms for consultants aren't on this page
They're between you and me, and I'll send them to you. Ask on a call, or email
wilf@byrnedigitalsolutions.co.uk
and I'll reply the same working day.
Part C · How you put a client on
Your own link. Your clients set themselves up.
YouMake your free consultant login
Open the app and make a login. No permit
needed, no card, two minutes.
YouCopy your own link
It is on your first screen, then on your Clients screen. Send it to any client who isn't sorted, by email or text, in
your own words, or tap Email it to a client for a ready email from your own mailbox.
ClientThey sign up from your link
They type their permit number and the site fills itself in from the Environment Agency's register. Once
they've proved their email, their company is on your Clients screen.
ClientThey link Defra and log loads
They register with Defra and paste their API code in (the ten steps). Each load
is checked against Defra's rules before it saves and goes to Defra by itself.
ClientThey pay me, not you
I send their invoice, with 14 days free first and no contract. You never handle an invoice.
YouYou see every client on one screen
Every site you cover, with anything overdue at the top, so you see a late load before the EA does.
Which clients does it apply to? Paste
your client list's permit numbers and see them all in one table, free.
Rather I set a client up for you? Email me the company name, site
address, permit number and the client's own email address, and I'll do it, with you copied.
Not sure a client is in scope? The free permit check reads the Environment Agency's
register for any site in England, and points Welsh sites to Natural Resources Wales's register. Setting up several clients at once?
Who registers, who pays, and one email for all of them,
with a guide for each type of site to send on.
Part D · What you get in the app
Built for the person who answers for more than one permit
Try the Clients screen in the demo - no sign-up, example clients only.
Every site you coverClients 3 · Sites 4 · Overdue 1
Illustration with made-up sites. The real tab shows the same columns for your own clients.
- Clients tab. Every client and every site you cover on one screen: the permit, postcode, number of
loads and the date of the last one, and a status for each site (overdue, failed, due soon or ok). Anything
overdue is at the top.
- Work on a client's site. Tap a site to record loads against their permit when you need to. The app
says whose site you are working on the whole time. Or the client logs their own and you keep an eye on it.
- Manager on site. The TCM attendance log: Arrived now and
Left now, and attendance over 12 weeks against the percentage the permit asks for.
It appears once a site has a manager's name or a required percentage set.
- Give someone access. Add the client's gate staff yourself, as an operator who can log loads, a viewer
who can look but not change, or a technically competent manager who can see everything.
- No duplicate companies. If you set a client up and someone at the site then signs up, the app sees
the permit is already there and they Ask to join. You let them in.
- Records out, any time. Build Defra spreadsheet fills Defra's own template,
for one site or all of them, and Download every load gives a spreadsheet of every
load.
- Co-branding. Your name and logo in a bar above the app for your clients, with
"powered by Byrne Digital Solutions" beneath. Send me a link to your logo and I add it. It is co-branding,
not white-label: my name stays on it.
- A demo with your name on it. I can make you a version of the try-it page that
says it was shown to them by your consultancy and sends "I want this" to you, not me. Ask, and I add it.
Not there yet, so not promised: setup ticks per client on the Clients tab, a download of the
attendance log, and a screen for uploading your own logo (I add logos myself for now).
Want something to forward? The one-page client pack explains what it is
and how setup works, and prints on one sheet.
Part E · Scotland and Northern Ireland
Your Scottish clients start on 1 January 2027, Northern Irish clients in January 2027
Digital waste tracking starts in Scotland on 1 January 2027 (DAERA say January 2027 for Northern Ireland), on the same Defra service
as England and Wales. If you look after sites there, they are about to need what your English clients needed in September, and you can introduce them the same way. A site in Scotland or Northern Ireland that joins before 1 January 2027 pays nothing until 1 January 2027. Scotland starts that day and DAERA say January 2027 for Northern Ireland.
The app asks which country each site is in and counts the two working days with that nation's own bank
holidays, so a Scottish site's due dates are Scotland's, not England's.
What changes on 1 January 2027, with sources.
Part F · Talk to me
Book a 15-minute call
I take calls on Tuesdays 4pm to 5pm and Wednesdays 3pm to 5pm. Tell me who you are and which suits you, and I'll email you to
confirm a time. Email is the quickest way to reach me - I reply the same working day.
Rather email? wilf@byrnedigitalsolutions.co.uk.
Or ring 07935 173034 and leave a message: I ring consultants back on Tuesday 4pm to 5pm or Wednesday 3pm to 5pm.
Part G · Questions consultants ask
What does it cost me?
Nothing. You never pay me and you never handle my invoices. I invoice your client direct, and every new site gets 14 days free first.
Do I have to sign anything?
No contract to sign. I send you the terms in writing, and you can stop any time.
Can I put it under my own name?
Co-branding, yes: your name and logo sit in a bar above the app for your clients, with "powered by Byrne Digital Solutions" beneath. White-label, no: my name stays on it.
Can I log loads for my clients?
Yes. Tap the client's site in your Clients tab and record loads against their permit. The app shows whose site you are working on the whole time.
Can I register my client with Defra or pay their £26?
No. The permit holder registers the organisation with Defra and pays Defra's £26 a year. Once they have their Defra API code, they can send it to you or to me and it goes in for them.
What happens if something happens to you?
Your clients' records are never stuck with me. Every load they send is already at Defra, which is the legal record. They can download all of it in Defra's own spreadsheet from Export, any time, and carry on with Defra's spreadsheet the same day. If I ever stop, I will give every customer and consultant at least 30 days' notice by email and a full export first.
What counts as a site?
Each permitted site. A mobile plant operator working several deployments has each one as its own site.
What about clients in Scotland or Northern Ireland?
Scotland starts on 1 January 2027 and DAERA say January 2027 for Northern Ireland, on the same Defra service. You introduce them the same way, and the app counts their due dates with their own nation's bank holidays.
Can a client's site ring you for help?
Sites are helped by email and inside the app, and I reply the same working day. Calls are for consultants, so if something needs talking through, you can ring me about your client.
