Trucks, collectors and industrial firms bring material to a recycling plant all day. When the weighbridge ticket stays on paper, you cannot work out how many bales each material yielded after sorting or how much was lost as waste, and the real margin between buying and selling prices becomes unclear. In the system we build, the gross weight is read as soon as a vehicle enters the weighbridge, the material type and supplier are selected, and the purchase ticket is issued after the tare. Sorting and baling are recorded as stock movements, sales produce a delivery note and invoice, and yield loss and profit are visible by material.
Problems recycling plants face
- Weighbridge tickets written by hand and full of errors
- Yield loss after sorting unknown
- Bale stock not trackable by grade and quality
- Supplier payments and account balances getting mixed up

- 2
After unloading the tare is taken and the purchase ticket is printed.
- 3
Material is sorted and the resulting grades enter stock.

On sale the outbound weighbridge produces a delivery note and invoice.
Integrations
Off-the-shelf software or custom-built?
When off-the-shelf is enough
For small collection points handling a single material, ready-made weighbridge software may be enough.
When custom software pays off
In plants needing multi-grade sorting, bale stock and yield loss calculation, a custom system makes profit by material visible for the first time.
How the budget is built
We launch the workflow that saves you the most time first, then add modules based on real usage. The full scope below is calculated with 18 screens and 9 modules; the final price follows a free discovery call and a written scope.
Maintenance and improvements (optional): €550 / month. Hosting, SMS, WhatsApp and app store fees are listed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is our existing weighbridge compatible?
Weight can be read from most weighbridge indicators that provide a serial port or network output.
How are purchases from individual collectors documented?
A self-billing document or the relevant document type is issued from the system and linked to the supplier record.
Can a camera photo be taken at the weighbridge?
Yes, an IP camera image of the plate and load at the moment of weighing can be attached to the ticket.
Can we manage more than one plant?
Yes, plants are set up as separate stock and weighbridge points, and reports are viewed combined.
