Core Features
ScrapWare uses interconnected modules to manage the daily operations of recycling businesses, from receiving materials to dispatching finished products. Its configurable workflows and reporting tools accommodate different commodities, transaction volumes and regulatory requirements. Its main functions include:
Scrap Purchasing and Weighbridge Integration: Records material purchases, seller information, weights and payments. Integration with scales and identification hardware supports transaction processing, ticket generation and accurate purchasing records.
Inventory and Material Tracking: Tracks raw materials, processed commodities and finished goods across multiple yards. Users can reclassify materials, transfer inventory between facilities, monitor weighted-average costs and manage barcode-labelled products.
Sales, Contracts and Shipment Management: Manages customer quotations, purchase and sales contracts, shipping documents, invoices and shipment costs. Sales transactions can automatically update inventory, maintaining consistency between commercial and operational records.
Truck Dispatch and Container Tracking: Supports vehicle scheduling, driver assignments, container movements and dispatch tickets. Recycling businesses can monitor fleet activity, track container locations and coordinate transportation across multiple facilities.
Regulatory Compliance and Recordkeeping: Supports US scrap metal anti-theft requirements through identification scanning, signature and thumbprint capture, transaction photographs and reporting tools. Records can be linked to individual purchase tickets for compliance reviews.
Financial Integration and Operational Reporting: Connects purchasing and sales data with accounting systems, including QuickBooks. Standard and customized reports provide information on inventory valuation, commodity transactions, shipment costs, productivity and business performance.
Closing Insights
Developed by ScrapWare Corporation, founded in 1989 by Joe Floam, the platform serves recycling businesses across the United States. Its customers include Baroni Recycling, which highlights the benefits of cloud deployment, Premier Metal Services, which uses its QuickBooks integration, and Allied Scrap Processors, which reports using customized operational reports.
In September 2026, ScrapWare announced an integration with IDScan.net's ParseLink technology, enabling automated identification scanning during purchasing transactions. These additions address payment security, administrative efficiency and regulatory recordkeeping.
Although recycling contributes to resource conservation and circular economy objectives, ScrapWare primarily manages commercial and operational activities. Its particular relevance lies in helping recyclers maintain reliable records of material quantities, movements and transactions.
