Scrap metal dealer software for European yards
SPiS records every purchase at the counter, keeps material inventory live, and produces the receipts and reports your permit requires — in euro, in kilos, with VAT and WEEE handled properly.
Free for one yard. No credit card, no setup fee.
What a yard actually needs from its software
Generic inventory and point-of-sale tools assume you sell finished goods at a fixed price. A scrap yard buys variable material at a price that moves, from sellers whose identity has to be recorded. That difference runs through everything below.
Purchase logging built for the counter
Log a multi-line purchase without leaving the keyboard: material, kilos, price per kilo, seller details and payment method. Customer details autofill from previous purchases, so a returning seller is a few keystrokes.
Inventory that maintains itself
Every purchase line updates on-hand weight and value for that material immediately. On-hand position by material is a screen you look at, not a spreadsheet somebody rebuilds on Friday.
An audit trail you can defend
Every edit is recorded — what changed, who changed it, and when. Corrections are visible rather than silent, which is what a regulator, an auditor and your own management reporting all need.
Documents generated from live data
Seller receipts, remittance documents and day summaries are produced from the same records as your reports, under your own branding. No parallel template that drifts out of date.
Roles that match how a yard works
Owner, manager and clerk roles with a configurable edit window for counter staff. Clerks log purchases; they don't rewrite last quarter.
Multiple yards, one picture
Run several locations under one account, each with its own materials and pricing, and report across all of them without exporting anything.
Built for the compliance regime you actually operate under
European waste regulation is moving from paper inspected after the fact to structured data submitted continuously. Since 21 May 2026, waste shipment procedures across the EU run through the Digital Waste Shipment System; Italy's RENTRI is digitising loading registers and identification forms on its own timetable.
Both regimes ask the same underlying question: can you produce an accurate, coded, timestamped record of a specific transaction on demand? SPiS is designed so the answer is yes without anyone assembling anything.
Frequently asked questions
- What is scrap metal dealer software?
- Scrap metal dealer software records the purchases a yard makes from sellers, keeps a running inventory of material on hand, and produces the receipts, remittance documents and regulatory reports the business is required to keep. It replaces the combination of paper purchase tickets, a weighbridge log and an end-of-month spreadsheet that most yards start with.
- Does SPiS handle VAT and euro pricing?
- Yes. SPiS is built for European operators: pricing and totals are in euro, weights are in kilos, and the VAT rate is configurable per tenant, so a Maltese yard on 18% and an operator in another member state both get correct totals and correct paperwork.
- Can it track WEEE separately from metal?
- Yes. WEEE categories are a distinct material kind, not a metal grade with a different name, so electronic waste reports cleanly and separately from your metal volumes. See our WEEE recycling software page for detail.
- Where is our data stored, and is it GDPR compliant?
- Purchase records include personal data such as seller name, ID card number and vehicle registration, so SPiS is built for GDPR from the schema up: data is hosted in the EU, access is restricted by role, and customer records can be exported or erased while purchase history and report totals remain intact.
- How long does it take to get started?
- Most yards are logging purchases the same day. You create an account, add the materials you buy with today's prices, and start. There is no implementation project and no setup fee, and the Starter plan is free for a single yard with up to three users.
- Can we import our existing records?
- Yes. We regularly migrate yards off legacy desktop systems and spreadsheets, including full purchase and line-item history so your reporting stays continuous. Contact us with a sample of what you hold today and we will tell you what is possible.
