What a junkshop system does, from the scale to closing time.
A junkshop system is software that records every purchase at the scale and keeps the totals that follow from it: what each supplier sold and is still owed, what's in stock by material, and the day's cash. ScrapTrack is a junkshop system built in the Philippines around kilos and pesos, and the owner can check it from a phone.
- Works with the scale you already use
- Built for budget Android phones
Six jobs a junkshop system should handle.
Each one replaces a page of the notebook or a column in the sheet, and each one feeds the next.
Notebook, Excel or a junkshop system: which one fits your yard?
All three can record a purchase. The difference shows when you need a total, an old ticket or an answer from home.
| Job | Notebook | Excel | ScrapTrack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net weight and amount | Worked out by hand, line by line | A formula, once the weights are typed in | Filled in as soon as gross and tare are entered |
| Finding an old purchase | Page by page, if the writing is clear | Search the file, if every row was entered | Look it up by ticket number or by supplier |
| What each supplier is owed | Added up from earlier pages | Right only while someone keeps it current | Unpaid tickets listed under each supplier |
| Stock on hand | A count in the yard | A column someone has to update | Grows with every weigh-in, material by material |
| The day's cash | Totalled at closing | Totalled once the day's rows are in | Bought, paid and still owed, ready when you close |
| The owner away from the yard | A phone call to the counter | Only if the file is shared and up to date | The same tickets and totals on the owner's phone |
| Staff access | Whoever holds the pen | Whoever has the file | Each worker with their own login and role |
A POS sells by weight. A junkshop system buys by weight.
Many owners search for a junkshop POS. The counter work looks alike, but the money moves the other way.
Selling by weight.Retail POS apps such as Loyverse can sell an item by weight: you set a price per kilo, type the weight at the sale, and the app works out the line total.
Buying by weight.At a junkshop the person across the counter is your supplier. ScrapTrack starts each ticket from the supplier and material, takes gross and tare, and works out what you pay.
Paying later.A ticket can be paid now or saved as unpaid, so each supplier's balance stays in view until it's settled.
Stock coming in.Every purchase adds to the yard's stock under its material, ready for the day a buyer asks what you have.
