Software for Scrap
Weight-based scrap trade with grade sorting, volatile rates and many small suppliers.
Scrap trading buys mixed material by weight from many small suppliers, sorts it into grades worth very different amounts, and sells in bulk. Rates move constantly, weighbridge accuracy is central to both buying and selling, and much of the buying is cash-based with informal suppliers.
What gets in the way
- Mixed incoming material must be sorted into grades with very different values
- Rates move constantly, so buying margin is uncertain
- Weighbridge accuracy determines profit on every transaction
- Many small suppliers with informal, often cash, settlement
- Sorted output weight rarely matches input weight
What the software handles
- Inward weighing with supplier and vehicle recorded
- Sorting into grades with output weights
- Input to output weight reconciliation
- Rate-driven purchase and sale pricing
- Supplier payment against weighed receipts
What changes
- Sorting yield measured rather than assumed
- Weighbridge records supporting every transaction
- Margin per grade visible against moving rates
