Purchase entries
Material received with supplier, grade, weight and rate recorded as it is weighed in.
Know every kilo in, out, processed and lost
For steel and scrap businesses where margin lives in weights, wastage and what came back from job-work.
Everything on this page describes proposed solutions and illustrative interfaces, not deployed products.
Where the time and money leak
- Weight at purchase, at processing and at dispatch rarely match, and differences go unexplained
- Job-work receipts are checked against a notebook
- Wastage and scrap generated are estimated rather than recorded
- Returns and rejections are tracked in calls and chats
- Physical stock and book stock drift apart
How the work could run instead
Material dispatch
Dispatches to customers or job-workers recorded with weight and vehicle details.
Job-work receipts
Processed material received back is matched to what was sent, showing the balance still outstanding.
Weight differences
Differences between sent, received and billed weights flagged automatically for review against agreed tolerance.
Wastage records
Scrap and loss logged by lot or job, giving a measured wastage figure instead of an estimate.
Returns and stock reconciliation
Returns recorded against the original entry, and physical counts compared to book stock with differences listed.
Modules a first version could include
- Weighbridge entry
- Purchase register
- Dispatch register
- Job-work ledger
- Weight variance report
- Wastage log
- Returns
- Stock reconciliation
These are proposed solutions for steel and scrap businesses. The linked interface is an illustrative demo using sample data. It is not a deployed product, and nothing here describes a live client system. Real builds are scoped around your own workflow.
Questions from this industry
Some weighbridge systems can export or send readings. This depends on the equipment, so it is a feasibility check during discovery; manual entry always works.
You do. Tolerances are set by you and differences beyond them are flagged for human review.
Yes, where your process uses them.
It makes wastage visible and measurable. Reducing it remains an operational task for your team.
No. It uses sample data to illustrate the interface only.
