LoadSnap. Private beta, DEFRA mandate looms

The problem

Every waste carrier in the UK has to issue a digital waste transfer note from October 2026. The current system runs on PDFs, paper, and email. If you're a small operator, the mandate is an existential admin tax. If you're a software vendor, it's a market handed to you on a plate, on a deadline.

What LoadSnap does

LoadSnap issues compliant waste transfer notes in seconds. A driver photographs the load, the receipt-issuer agent fills the legal form, the compliance-checker agent verifies it against DEFRA's schema, the invoice-drafter agent generates the customer-facing invoice with Stripe Connect routing money to the right account. The whole loop runs in the background while the driver is back on the road.

Architecture

Three custom Claude agents power the workflow. Each has a tightly scoped system prompt, a small set of tools, and a documented failure mode.

• Receipt-issuer: reads load photo metadata, calls DEFRA's reference data API, returns a compliant draft.
• Compliance-checker: validates the draft against the official schema, flags missing fields, retries with corrections.
• Invoice-drafter: pulls customer rates from Supabase, drafts the invoice, queues it in Stripe Connect.

The fast inference path runs on Groq for the receipt-issuer where latency matters at the kerbside. The compliance-checker uses Claude for the structured reasoning.

The bet

Hard deadline, narrow audience, urgent need. The exact conditions where a small, focused tool can win a market segment from incumbents. I'm building it in public on the writing section.

Status

Private beta. Onboarding the first carrier customers via Web Hero's network. The DEFRA mandate is on the calendar.
