Scale Ticketing Software for Scrap Metal & Recycling

Q: Does it work with our truck scale?

Yes. CloudAgg reads from all major indicators and generic RS-232/TCP scales — keep the hardware you have.

The reality

What slows a scrap yard down.

You're buying by the pound while ferrous and non-ferrous commodity prices move all week — and the rate the operator keys in has to match today's number, not last month's. Most scrap metal ticket software wasn't built to price a buy that changes by the hour.
Every inbound load has to capture seller ID and load details to satisfy state and provincial scrap-reporting laws — and that record has to be tied to the ticket, the photos, and the payout, not scattered across a logbook and a camera nobody syncs.
Payouts settle against the load right at the window. If the weight, grade, and rate don't reconcile to the ticket, you're paying out on numbers you can't defend later.
One truck can carry several commodities — shred, prepared steel, copper, brass, aluminum — so a single load splits into many priced lines, each graded and weighed separately.
Your scale software runs on one PC in the scale house and is welded to one indicator brand, so it goes down when that machine does, the owner can't see the yard from the office, and upgrading hardware means re-buying software.

How CloudAgg fits

Scrap yard ticketing software, built for how the buy actually works.

CloudAgg is recycling ticketing software and recycling scale software in one cloud platform — purpose-built software for scrap metal recycling that prices the buy, captures compliance, and settles payouts on the same ticket.

Commodity pricing per material

Set a rate for every commodity — shred, prepared steel, copper, brass, aluminum — with default rates plus customer- and seller-specific pricing, and a one-off override on any ticket line. The right price by the pound fills itself in, so the operator isn't chasing today's number on a whiteboard.

Default + seller-specific pricing · per-line override

Inbound buy-tickets and payout settlement

Write inbound buy-tickets the same way you write outbound sales: weigh the load, grade it into one or more priced lines, and value it by weight and commodity. Payouts settle against the load on the same ticket, with sales orders and real-time inventory kept in step.

Seller ID and camera capture for compliance

Capture seller identification and load details on every inbound ticket to support state and provincial scrap-reporting requirements. IP camera and ALPR images attach to the ticket automatically, so the photo, the plate, and the payout all live in one record.

Works with the truck scale you already own

Rice Lake, Mettler Toledo, Cardinal, Fairbanks, Avery Weigh-Tronix, or a generic RS-232 / TCP indicator. CloudAgg is hardware-agnostic scrap metal truck scale management — it reads the certified weight and never alters it, so there's no rip-and-replace and no hardware lock-in. Stored tares auto-stack at weigh-out for returning trucks.

Live multi-site dashboards and inventory by commodity

Scrap yard scale ticketing shouldn't stop at the window. Run one yard or several from a single account. Each site weighs and tickets independently while owners see live buys, payouts, and real-time inventory by commodity across every site — from the office or a phone, not just the seat in the scale house.

Multi-site · real-time inventory by commodity

AI that does the busywork

Find any inbound ticket by typing plain English, get flagged on weight and price anomalies before they become payout disputes, and search memos by meaning. AI built in — not an enterprise add-on.

A day at the yard

Truck in, graded, paid, posted.

01

Truck or seller arrives

Pick the seller and truck, then weigh in. Returning trucks pull their stored tare automatically and the IP camera grabs the plate.

02

Grade & classify

Split the load into commodity lines — ferrous and non-ferrous — and capture seller ID and load photos for compliance on the ticket.

03

Weigh out & price

Net weight is locked to the certified reading and each line prices itself by the pound at the current commodity rate. Override a line for a one-off deal.

04

Posted everywhere

Posting settles the payout and updates inventory by commodity and the live multi-site dashboard — the owner sees it the moment it happens.

Switching is the easy part

Moving off legacy scrap metal scale software?

Switching to modern scrap metal recycling software is the easy part. We import your commodities, customers, sellers, trucks, and price lists from a spreadsheet or directly from SMSTurbo, ScaleIt, or WinTik. Our team handles the scale-hardware setup call — no IT consultant, nothing left behind, and most yards are live within 24 hours. See the full list of tools we replace on our switching software page.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can CloudAgg price ferrous and non-ferrous by commodity?

Yes. Set commodity pricing for ferrous and non-ferrous grades so inbound loads are valued correctly by the pound.

Can it capture seller ID for compliance?

Yes. Capture seller identification and load details on inbound tickets to support state and provincial scrap-reporting requirements.

Does it handle payouts on inbound loads?

Yes. Value inbound loads by weight and commodity and settle payouts against them, all on one platform.

Does it work with our truck scale?

Yes. CloudAgg reads the certified weight from Rice Lake, Mettler Toledo, Cardinal, Fairbanks, Avery Weigh-Tronix, and generic RS-232/TCP scales — keep the hardware you have. Hardware-agnostic scrap yard truck scale management means no rip-and-replace.

Can one inbound load split into several commodities?

Yes. A single inbound buy-ticket can carry multiple priced lines — ferrous and non-ferrous — each graded, weighed, and priced by the pound at its own commodity rate, then settled together at payout.

Is CloudAgg cloud-based, or does it run on the scale-house PC?

It's fully cloud and browser-based, so your scrap metal scale ticketing isn't chained to one machine. Run the yard from any browser, add unattended kiosk lanes with a PIN, and give sellers a customer portal — while owners watch live multi-site dashboards from the office. If you also run a transfer station or MRF, the same platform powers our waste management scale ticketing, and producers can compare notes on our quarry & aggregates page.
