Weighbridge ticketing
Gross, tare and nett captured from your indicator, stored tares for regular trucks and tickets printed or sent by SMS.
Weighbridge & recycling yard software: tickets & accounts
Recyclers: weigh it, price it, pay it. Weighbridge tickets that do the maths.
Tickets are handwritten in the weighbridge hut, copper prices get rubbed off a whiteboard twice a day and regular sellers ring up asking why their statement doesn't match. We build weighbridge, pricing, compliance and account systems for recyclers that pull the weight straight off the indicator, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for weighbridge and recycling yard software that actually fits your yard?
A recycling yard buys by the kilo and sells by the tonne, with prices that move whenever the metal market does. In between sits a weighbridge, a ticket book, a whiteboard, a cash tin and someone trying to make it all add up in Xero on a Friday arvo. Add seller ID rules, bin runs, buyer loads going out and levy reporting and the paperwork starts outweighing the scrap.
Wollopit builds custom recycling software around how your yard actually runs. The weight comes straight off your indicator, the price comes from one live list by grade and the ticket lands against the right customer with their ID and rego already attached. Payouts are recorded, accounts update themselves and you can see exactly what came over the bridge by material. We connect to what you already use and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from recyclers
Does your recycling business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most yards we talk to know their metals inside out. It's the tickets, the prices and the paperwork that slow the queue down at the bridge.
- The problemHandwritten ticketsGross and tare get scribbled on a carbon book, the maths is done on a calculator and a smudged 7 becomes a 1.How we fix itThe weight comes straight off the indicator. Nett is worked out for you and a ticket prints or texts in seconds.
- The problemPrices on a whiteboardCopper moves, someone updates the board, the hut still has yesterday's price and a regular gets paid the old rate.How we fix itOne central price list by grade. Change it once and the weighbridge, the counter and the customer portal all match.
- The problemGrading arguments at the counterClean copper or No. 2? Brass with steel attached? The seller swears it was graded higher last week.How we fix itPhotos of every load on the ticket, grade notes and deductions recorded so there's no argument next time.
- The problemSeller ID and complianceLicences photocopied into a folder, rego jotted down if someone remembers and no quick way to answer a police request.How we fix itSeller ID, vehicle rego and load photos captured on every ticket. Search any seller or plate in seconds.
- The problemCash and transfers all over the placeSome sellers want a transfer, some want it today and the tin never quite matches the ticket book.How we fix itEvery payout recorded against its ticket. Bank transfer batches and a daily reconciliation that actually balances.
- The problemAccount customers with messy statementsTrade sellers and demo crews bring loads all month and their statement takes half a day to put together.How we fix itCustomer accounts with live history, monthly statements and a portal where they can see their own tickets.
- The problemNobody knows what's in the yardHow much steel is in the bays? Is there enough copper for a container? Someone has to walk out and eyeball it.How we fix itStock by material from every ticket in and every load out, with running totals and margins by grade.
- The problemLoads out to buyers are a guessOutbound weights from the buyer don't match yours and nobody can say where the difference went.How we fix itOutbound tickets, buyer weights and settlement notes side by side so you can chase shortfalls.
- The problemBin runs by phone and memorySkip and cage swaps booked by phone, written in a diary and the driver rings back asking for the address.How we fix itBin bookings, driver runs on a map and swap or pickup jobs that turn into tickets when the truck gets back.
- The problemLevy and volume reporting takes daysThe council, the state or a big customer wants tonnes by material and it means digging through ticket books.How we fix itReports by material, customer, source and period, ready to export when someone asks.
02What we build
Solutions
What we build for recyclers. Usually all talking to each other.
Pick the one that's hurting most or join the whole lot up. Everything is built around how your team works, not the other way round.
Material price lists
Live prices by grade, buy and sell rates, price history and customer-specific rates for big sellers.
Grading & load photos
Camera snaps at the bridge, grade and contamination notes and deductions recorded on the ticket.
Seller ID & compliance records
Licence scans, vehicle rego, signatures and photos on every purchase, searchable for audits and police requests.
Payouts & reconciliation
Payouts linked to tickets, bank transfer batches, end of day float counts and a clean daily close.
Customer accounts & portal
Trade and regular sellers get history, statements and remittances online without ringing the office.
Invoices to Xero or MYOB
Purchases, sales and buyer settlements flowing into your accounts without retyping.

Skip, cage and bin bookings, driver runs on a map and swap jobs on the driver's phone.
Container refund point counter
Counts, refunds and claim records for yards that take drink containers, kept apart from scrap tickets.
Volume & levy reports
Tonnes by material, source and period, exported for state reporting or customer sustainability reports.
03The systems
The big ones
Your whole yard, on one system.
These are the systems recyclers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful once they're joined up.
Weighbridge tickets
Drive on, drive off, ticket done.
The weight comes straight off your weighbridge indicator so nobody is copying numbers by hand. Pick the customer and the grade and the ticket prices itself. Stored tares mean regular trucks only need one weigh.
- Weights captured from the indicator
- Gross, tare and nett worked out
- Stored tares for regular vehicles
- Multiple grades on one ticket
- Deductions for contamination
- Load photos from bridge cameras
- Tickets printed or sent by SMS
- Works on the bridge and the counter scale
- Voided tickets kept with a reason
- Every ticket linked to its payout
Material pricing
Change the copper price once. Everywhere follows.
One price list by grade replaces the whiteboard and the sticky notes. Update a price in the office and it's live at the bridge and on the counter before the next ute rolls in, with a history of every change.
- Buy and sell prices by grade
- Prices updated from any phone
- Customer-specific rates
- Price history for every grade
- Scheduled price changes
- Price board on a yard TV
- Margin by grade at a glance
- Staff can't override without a reason
Compliance & ID
Every seller, every load, on record.
Seller ID, vehicle rego, signatures and photos are captured as part of the ticket rather than a separate job. When an auditor or the local police ask about a plate or a person you can find it in seconds.
- Licence scan on first visit
- Vehicle rego on every ticket
- Signature on screen
- Load and seller photos
- Flag or block sellers
- Search by name, plate or ticket
- Payment method rules per material
- Export records for requests
Accounts & payouts
Statements that write themselves.
Every ticket lands against the right customer and every payout lands against the right ticket. Trade sellers see their own history in a portal and the daily close balances without a recount.
- Customer accounts with full history
- Monthly statements and remittances
- Customer portal for regular sellers
- Bank transfer batches
- Cash float and daily close
- Purchases and sales into Xero or MYOB
- Overdue and unpaid ticket alerts
- Reprint any ticket or statement
Stock & reporting
Know what's in the bays without walking out there.
Tickets in and loads out keep a running tally of every material. See when there's enough for a container, match buyer weights against yours and pull tonnes by period whenever someone asks.
- Running stock by material
- Outbound loads and buyer weights
- Shortfalls flagged per load
- Margin by grade and period
- Tonnes by source and customer
- Levy and volume exports
- Bin runs feeding into tickets
- Reports to Excel or PDF

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your recycling business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We stand in the weighbridge hut on a busy morning, walk the yard and sit with whoever does the books to see what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your indicator, grades, prices, seller records, payouts, accounts, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually tickets off the bridge first, so the queue moves faster within weeks.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things recyclers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it connect to our existing weighbridge?
Often, yes. Most weighbridge indicators can send weights to a computer, which we capture directly. We'll check your make and model before quoting.
Can it handle seller ID and scrap metal record rules?
Yes. We capture ID, vehicle rego, signatures and photos on each ticket to suit the rules in your state, with search and export for audits and police requests.
Can we change prices during the day?
Yes. Update a grade from your phone or the office and it's live at the bridge and the counter straight away, with a history of every change.
Do we have to replace our current weighbridge software?
No. If something is doing its job we build around it, adding pricing, accounts or reporting on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it involves before anything changes.
Does it work with Xero or MYOB?
Yes. Purchases, sales, buyer settlements and account statements can flow into Xero or MYOB so nobody retypes tickets.
What happens if the internet drops at the bridge?
We can build it to keep taking tickets locally and sync when the connection comes back, so the queue doesn't stop.
How much does recycling yard software cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like digital tickets or a price list can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most recyclers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
