Feature · Gate Hot Picks
Gate Hot Picks: repeat loads in one tap.
Your regular loads come from the same customers, in the same vehicles, under the same code. Save each one once as a Hot Pick, and logging it is a tap and a weight. Everything else fills itself in.
- Built from your WTN templates
- Shared across the gate team
- No weighbridge needed
How Gate Hot Picks works.
Set a load up once. Every time it comes back, it takes seconds.
Save the load once
A WTN template for a regular load: producer, carrier, receiving site, waste type and EWC code. Single-stream templates become Hot Pick cards automatically.
Tap the card
Open Gate Hot Picks and tap the customer’s card. Starred favourites sit at the top for the whole team.
Enter the weight
Type the net weight, or gross and tare and let WasteBolt work out the net. The vehicle registration is already filled in; change it for this load if it’s different.
Log the load
It goes to Flagged For Review, or straight to a WTN if Auto-Create is on and it passes every check. DWT Auto Submit sends ready WTNs to Defra in its daily run.
What's fixed, and what you enter.
The template carries everything that doesn't change from load to load. You only add what's different today.
From the template, every time
- Producer, carrier and receiving site
- Waste type and description
- EWC code, and any hazard badge such as POPs
- The usual vehicle registration
What you enter for each load
- The weight: net, or gross and tare
- The vehicle registration, if it’s different today (unless the template locks it)
- Any extras you’ve switched on for that template: collection address, containers, ticket number or load time
- An optional note or photo for the office
Built for a busy gate.
Fewer taps, fewer mistakes, and the same records whether you have a weighbridge or not.
Seconds per load
One tap and a weight instead of a full form, so the gate keeps moving when the queue builds.
The right code every time
Codes, descriptions and parties come from the template, so nobody picks the wrong EWC code in a hurry.
Shared by the whole team
Star a card and it moves to the top for everyone on the gate, not just for you.
No weighbridge needed
Read the weight off any scale, or estimate it, and type it in. Sites with a weighbridge can use Gatehouse instead.
Feeds your automation
With Auto-Create WTNs on, a load that passes every check becomes a WTN the moment you log it. DWT Auto Submit sends ready WTNs to Defra each day.
The right cards for each driver
Limit a card to particular drivers, and search by customer, postcode, waste, EWC code or reg. Favourites and the most-used cards come first.

What is Gate Hot Picks?
Gate Hot Picks turns your regular loads into one-tap cards in WasteBolt Gate. Each card is a saved WTN template, so logging a repeat load is a tap and a weight, with everything else filled in for you.
Which loads appear as Hot Picks?
Any saved WTN template that covers a single waste stream. Templates with more than one waste stream still work on the normal Create WTN page; they just don’t appear as Hot Pick cards.
Do I need a weighbridge?
No. You type the weight in, net or gross and tare, so it works with a platform scale, a weighbridge reading or no scale integration at all. If you do have a weighbridge with software that exports its tickets, Gatehouse can pick those up automatically instead.
Can I change the vehicle for one load?
Yes, unless the template is set to always use its own registration. The registration is filled in from the template, and changing it affects that load only; the saved template stays as it was.
Does it create the WTN and submit to Defra?
If Auto-Create WTNs is on and the load passes every check, it becomes a WTN the moment you log it. Otherwise it waits in Flagged For Review, ready to become a WTN. Hot Picks doesn’t send anything to Defra itself: DWT Auto Submit sends ready WTNs to Defra’s Digital Waste Tracking service once a day, or you can submit in one click.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The cards stack on a phone, the search box is sized for thumbs, and an unfinished entry is kept on the device as a draft if the page reloads.
What about one-off loads?
Hot Picks is for the loads you see again and again. For a one-off, use Straight Submit, which takes the details once and submits to Defra. If the customer becomes a regular, save them as a template and they get a Hot Pick card.
