In the competitive and dynamic business of scrap metal recycling, most scrap yard owners recognize the benefits of using high-quality recycling software to run their operation. Unfortunately, some may still think that obtaining a software system or replacing their current system is a long, complicated, and expensive process. While that may have been true at one time, the advances in software have made it simpler now than ever before to buy, install, learn, and use new premier scrap yard software, like ScrapWare software.
Technology Simplifies Buying Software
“The process for implementing new software at a scrap metal recycling business has been simplified dramatically during the 35 years we have been in business,” said Joseph Floam, founder and president of ScrapWare Corporation, which provides software specifically for the unique needs of scrap metal recyclers. “When ScrapWare opened its doors in 1990, we were on the road constantly, because we needed to be at customer sites to demonstrate the product, install the product, and train employees on the product,” explained Floam. “Now, with technological advancements 35 years later, all the demonstrations, installations, and training are done remotely. It has never been simpler to get a recycling company up and running with high-quality software.”
ScrapWare Software is User-Friendly
In addition to the strides that have been made in installation and training, the software itself has become more user-friendly. “ScrapWare software is designed to be simple and a pleasure to use,” said Floam. “Over the past 35 years, we have worked hand and glove with our existing customers to incorporate the improvements they need to make the software intuitive and easy to use.”
Recycling software cannot produce a solid return on investment if it is too hard for your staff to use. ScrapWare software uses an intuitive color-coded fill-in-the-blank format and recognizable icons, so it is easy and actually fun to use. The software’s management system will easily give a recycling operation a bird’s-eye, real-time view of what is going on in their business as they buy and sell scrap and use the inventory management features, among many other capabilities.
A Simple Process to Get Scrap Yard Software Up and Running
Any scrap metal recycling company can get ScrapWare up and running in a few short months. After an initial consultation and needs assessment, the project can get underway within a few weeks. New customers may need to get their infrastructure prepared with hardware such as cameras and thumb print or signature capture pads. Once the hardware is in place, the core system can be installed, and new customers’ existing data can be migrated into ScrapWare.
The Importance of Training
Once the system is in place, staff training can begin. Everything about ScrapWare is designed to be user-friendly, and our training is too. We make the learning process easy, convenient, and accessible. You and your staff members at your scrap or salvage yard can train at your own pace, anytime, from anywhere.
ScrapWare’s interactive format makes learning fun. So many software training programs try to cram everything into one long, dull session. It leaves participants bored, and most of the time, they don’t even retain the information. ScrapWare takes a different approach. We engage and involve participants through short, interesting sessions. This format lets them build on what they’ve learned and put their new skills into practice. At the end of the program, participants leave knowledgeable and confident in their skills. Measure progress your way, offer incentives for completion, and customize the program so it works for you!
Fine Tuning and Optimization
ScrapWare’s work isn’t done after training is underway. While training is still in progress, ScrapWare works side by side with your staff to do sample transaction entries and review to make sure everything is running just the way you want it. Once the system is running, ScrapWare will continue its work to make any final adjustments and optimizations, then it is time to Go Live, leaving you with a fully operational system. ScrapWare’s unmatched 24/7/365 customer support is available from that point on, ensuring that your team can fully operate your new system.
Easy to evaluate, install, learn, use, and support. That’s the benefit of ScrapWare software for the recycling industry.
