Specialty Recycling
Some operations don’t fit inside a standard system.
Specialty recycling requires more than inventory tracking. Documentation requirements can be extensive. Workflows rarely follow a predictable path. Traceability, reporting, certifications, and compliance requirements become part of the process itself.
Most recycling systems were designed for high-volume material processing. Specialty recyclers need greater flexibility, visibility, and control. ScrapWare supports recyclers working in complex environments where documentation, process control, and operational visibility matter at every stage.
ScrapWare brings workflows together into a single system that reflects how the work is actually done.
Aircraft and Aerospace Recycling
A growing number of commercial and military aircraft are reaching retirement age, creating new opportunities for companies involved in aircraft dismantling, parts recovery, and materials recycling. As fleets age and more aircraft are retired, the need for accurate asset tracking and documentation continues to grow.
But recovering components is only part of the process. High-value assets often require detailed documentation, traceability, and inventory visibility to support resale, compliance, and downstream buyers.
Built to support specialized recycling operations, ScrapWare helps maintain visibility into high-value assets while supporting the traceability and documentation these projects demand.
Marine and Heavy Industrial
From ship repair facilities and marine engine rebuilders to heavy industrial recovery operations, these businesses work with equipment that often has years of service history behind it. Knowing what has happened to an asset over time can be just as important as the material itself.
As fleets and infrastructure continue to age, organizations need reliable access to information that helps support operational decisions and maintain visibility throughout a project’s lifecycle.
ScrapWare helps keep critical operational information connected to the assets that drive the business, making it easier to manage complex projects and support informed decisions.
Solar & Renewable Energy Equipment Recycling
The first generation of large-scale solar installations is beginning to reach the end of its useful life, creating new opportunities for recyclers and material recovery companies.
As more renewable energy equipment enters the recycling stream, documentation and reporting requirements are becoming increasingly important. Utilities, customers, and downstream partners increasingly want clear records that demonstrate what was received, recovered, and properly managed.
ScrapWare helps keep materials, documentation, and operational data connected throughout the process, making it easier to support growth while maintaining visibility and control.
The More Complex, the Better
Specialty recycling is rarely simple. The materials, documentation, workflows, and reporting requirements often vary widely from one operation to the next.
That’s why ScrapWare is designed to adapt to the way you work. By bringing inventory, documentation, reporting, and operational processes into a single system, ScrapWare provides the visibility needed to keep operations organized and running smoothly.
A Record of Satisfaction
The greatest measure of our product’s success is our customers’ satisfaction. Here’s a recent Case Study about how we supported a specialty jet engine recycler.
PROBLEM
A specialty jet engine recycler approached ScrapWare to develop software to run its entire operation.
This recycler processes end-of-life engines and needs software to support teardown and inventory. Additionally, this recycler needs to generate “certificates of destruction and recycling” for the vendors from whom they purchased engines, guaranteeing that no parts end up in any future aircraft.
Without a comprehensive software solution, this recycler was using separate sets of documents, spreadsheets, and Word documents to operate their business.
SOLUTION
ScrapWare offered these recyclers a comprehensive solution by customizing its software to match their unique workflow and materials. This customization entailed modifications to the Contracts, Purchases, and Inventory modules.
ScrapWare worked with its internal programming team to customize its product to meet the needs of this specific recycler.
As this solution was being developed, ScrapWare worked alongside the recycler to develop customizations that matched its specific workflow and inventory needs.
RESULTS AND IMPACT
This jet engine recycler now has a streamlined system to run their process from start to finish, including receipt, processing, inventory, and sale of derived materials.
This comprehensive solution eliminated the need for separate sets of receiving documents, Excel files, and Word documents patched together to run the recycling operation.
As this customer develops their business, ScrapWare will continue to work hand in glove with their team to ensure the software continues to match their workflow and operations.
