Most yards run on a weighbridge printout, a spreadsheet of prices, a drawer of ID photocopies, and a bookkeeper stitching it together on Monday. AltScrap does it all in one place — every purchase written up at the counter, priced from your list, paid from your accounts, and ready to show anyone who asks. The Monday catch-up disappears.
30 days free, no card needed. Then A$799 per store, per month, plus GST.
The software follows the metal, not an office diagram. Each step hands the next one everything it needs, so nothing gets typed in twice and nothing goes missing between the scale and the bank.
Look up a returning seller by phone number, or take a new one’s photo ID on the spot. Sellers who signed up on your website are already in the system before they reach the counter.
Pick the item, enter the weight, take off deductions for contamination. The price comes from your own list at that store, for that seller’s tier — not from memory.
PayID, bank transfer, manual transfer or cheque — recorded against the purchase. Buying from a supplier? The RCTI is made for you instead of waiting on them for an invoice.
Sales, payouts and supplier bills go straight into MYOB or Xero. The records the law asks for are already written — nobody puts them together after the fact.
Prices differ between sites, staff move between them, and you need one view across the lot. That’s how it works out of the box — not an extra you pay for.
Publish a company price list, then change any item at any store when the local market moves. Staff at the counter never type a price.
A counter operator sees their own site. A manager sees several. Access follows the person — not a shared login taped to the monitor.
See sales across all stores or drill into one — today, this week, this month, or any dates you pick.
It runs the day-to-day of a scrap or recycling yard: who you bought from, what it weighed and graded, what you paid, and the records the law asks you to keep. It replaces the POS, the price spreadsheet, the compliance folder and the payment run — four separate jobs — with one system.
No. Weights are entered at the counter alongside the item, grade and any deductions, so AltScrap works with whatever weighing gear you already have — floor scales, platform scales or a weighbridge ticket.
Yes. You publish one company price list, then change individual item prices per store. Pricing tiers sit on top of that, so a regular commercial supplier and a walk-in seller can be paid different rates for the same item at the same site.
Setting up your company, adding a store with its hours and address, loading your materials and prices, and inviting counter staff is same-day work. Your website goes up at your own web address as soon as the store is added.
No — it feeds it. Purchases, payouts and supplier bills go through to MYOB or Xero, so the yard keeps working in AltScrap and your accountant keeps working where they always have.
Point-of-sale software for scrap metal and recycling counters. Check the seller’s ID, weigh and grade the material, apply your prices, and pay by PayID or bank transfer from one device.
