Scrap dealers have to keep records that a shoebox of ID photocopies doesn’t satisfy — and can’t produce on request. AltScrap keeps the record as part of doing the sale, so producing it later is a report, not a weekend.
Nothing here is an extra step for staff to remember. It’s all kept as part of the ordinary sale.
Photo ID is taken on the device at the first purchase and kept against the seller. Returning sellers are matched to that record — not re-photographed or re-typed.
Item, weight, grade, deductions, price, store, staff member and time are all part of the sale itself — not notes added afterwards.
How each purchase was paid stays attached to it, so the cash-versus-transfer question has an answer per sale, not per day.
The difference between a compliant yard and a yard that believes it’s compliant is usually how long it takes to produce the record.
The purchase record across a period, with the seller and material detail attached — exports to CSV.
Which sellers have been identified, and which purchases sit behind each identification.
How purchases were paid across a period — the report to reach for when the question is about payment method.
It varies by state and changes over time — generally you have to identify the seller, describe the material, and record how payment was made, with records kept and produceable on request. AltScrap is built to capture and produce that information; confirming what applies to your yards is a matter for you and your regulator or adviser.
Against the seller record in the platform, not on the counter device — so a lost or replaced tablet doesn’t take the record with it.
Yes. Purchases are attached to the seller record, so a seller’s full history — across stores — is one look-up, and the Customer List and Compliance Register reports cover it over any period.
Reports run over today, this week, this month, last month, or any dates you pick — and export to CSV for anything you need to hand over.
