Scrap dealers carry record-keeping obligations that a shoebox of ID photocopies does not satisfy — and cannot produce on request. AltScrap writes the record as a by-product of the purchase, so producing it later is a report rather than a weekend.
Nothing here is a separate compliance step for staff to remember. Each layer is written by the ordinary counter flow.
Photo ID is captured on the device at first purchase and stored against the seller. Returning sellers are matched to that record rather than re-photographed or re-typed.
Item, weight, grade, deductions, price, store, staff member and time are all part of the transaction — not annotations added afterwards.
Payment method and status stay attached to the purchase, so the cash-versus-transfer question has an answer per transaction rather than per day.
The difference between a compliant yard and a yard that believes it is compliant is usually how long it takes to produce the record.
The purchase record across a period, with the seller and material detail attached, exportable 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.
Obligations vary by state and change over time — they generally cover identifying the seller, describing the material, and recording how payment was made, with records retained 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.
They are stored against the seller record in the platform rather than on the counter device, so a lost or replaced tablet does not take the record with it.
Yes. Purchases are attached to the seller record, so a seller’s full history — across stores — is one lookup, and the Customer List and Compliance Register reports cover it at a period level.
Reports run over today, this week, this month, last month, or any custom date range you choose, and export to CSV for anything you need to hand over.
