In today’s dynamic business environment, the needs of scrap metal recycling companies are always evolving.

With changes in laws and regulations, the economy, the workforce, and the local business landscape, scrap metal recyclers need to be able to adjust their operations to successfully respond to these challenges and opportunities.  A customizable software solution can help scrap metal recycling companies implement these business changes.  ScrapWare software takes a partnership approach with its scrap metal recycling customers, working with them, side by side, to help them achieve their business goals.

ScrapWare business solutions

ScrapWare has been in the business of providing software to scrap metal recyclers for the past 35 years.  Founded in 1989, it has continually been updating and improving its product to reflect the needs of its customers and incorporate changing technology.  Early on it recognized that nothing is one size fits all in the recycling industry.  Its software is built to be endlessly flexible to accommodate the changing needs of its customers now and into the future.  While ScrapWare delivers plenty of power straight out of the box, sometimes small changes can make a big difference to an individual recycling business.

Software solutions that grow along with you

At ScrapWare, there is a collaborative process of customizing its software to align with the specific business objectives and strategies of its customers. The ScrapWare team customizes features, forms, reports, and more to meet these requirements. Is there a manual process you would like to automate? Would you like to add a custom feature? Is there a report you need, unique to your business?  ScrapWare experts provide plenty of support and sound guidance along the way to ensure that the choices you make now will allow for easy upgrades and changes down the road. ScrapWare grows right along with your business and easily connects with other software.

ScrapWare is flexible, scalable and customizable.  What this means is that you can:

Maintain compliance and anti-theft reporting – ScrapWare provides all the tools recyclers need to comply with various state and local anti-theft laws.  ScrapWare’s flexibility allows you to use the tools you need based on the laws and regulations of the states and municipalities you operate in.   

Add yards, users, and hardware – ScrapWare is scalable because it can easily accommodate your growing business.  ScrapWare allows you to add more yards or increase the number of employees using the software.  At any time ScrapWare users can also add new hardware interfaces, such as adding a new camera or scale to the software.  ScrapWare comes with many modules, but you can implement the ones you need now to run your business and implement others later as your business grows.   

Create new or modified reports and modify forms to suit your workflows – To meet your specific application and reporting requirements, ScrapWare’s experts will help you find the best customized configuration for your current needs while building in flexibility that will serve you into the future. 

In addition to configuring your software to meet your needs, ScrapWare support and training will make sure that the people using your software know how it works and can access ScrapWare’s Help Desk if there is ever a problem.

Making customization decisions

To achieve the best result with our customization, ScrapWare first recommends new customers use it “as is” for a short period of time to understand its capabilities and increase familiarity with its potential.  After working with the software, customers can better understand what customizations would best help their individual company needs.  After a customization is requested, ScrapWare evaluates each request to make sure it won’t impact the ability to upgrade in the future. Then, they work with recyclers every step of the way to create the perfect solution. ScrapWare customizations are quick and easy, so you can serve your vendors and customers better than ever.

As your technology partner, ScrapWare will always work right alongside your team.  Customers count on ScrapWare to consider the big picture and think ahead, so you’ll always be ready for change and growth.
