Material recovery facilities juggle inbound streams, processing yield, and outbound commodity sales all at once. WeighPay ties them together: capture the inbound load, track processing and deductions, bale into finished goods, and sell at locked-in spreads — with full traceability from bale to balance sheet.

How it works

  1. 1. Inbound stream capture

    Single-stream or sorted loads weighed and tagged.

    Auto — Stream tagging

  2. 2. Process & deduct

    Contamination, moisture, and quality deductions apply by contract.

    Contract — Driven deductions

  3. 3. Bale into finished goods

    Bales become costed, traceable inventory.

    Live — Finished-goods cost

  4. 4. Sell & ship

    Sell against contracts and spot pricing.

    Spread — Locked at sale

  5. 5. Reconcile & report

    Margin, yield, and inventory reconcile end to end.
