Scrap Metal Software for New Jersey

New Jersey scrap operators register with municipal police under NJSA 13:1E-99.91 and capture ID + photo on every purchase. WeighPay produces the municipal-format register on demand.

New Jersey Regulation & Compliance Notes

New Jersey Scrap Metal Business Act (NJSA 13:1E-99.91 et seq., effective 2009) requires scrap metal businesses to register with the chief of police in each municipality of operation, record seller photo ID, vehicle license plate, material description and weight, and photograph of the seller and material. Cash payments above $50 are prohibited and payment must be by check above that threshold. WeighPay enforces the $50 cash cap, builds the per-municipality photo register, and exports a police-format compliance log on demand.

How WeighPay for Scrap Metal connects your operation

• Truck arrives → AI Vision reads the plate, captures seller ID, and opens a scale ticket automatically — no manual data entry
• Scale ticket closes → state compliance report (anti-theft hold, ID register, tag-and-hold) is generated in the same step
• Material is graded → weighted-average inventory and live commodity pricing update in real time, so books reflect actual value
• Day ends → QuickBooks sync runs automatically; no spreadsheet hand-off or double entry
• Works offline — scale ticketing and compliance capture continue when the internet drops; data syncs on reconnect

Frequently Asked Questions

How does WeighPay handle state anti-theft compliance for scrap yards?

WeighPay captures seller photo ID, license plate (via AI Vision LPR), material photos, and a signed ownership statement at the POS — in one step, not five. State reporting (LEADS, DPS, LeadsOnline, and others) is generated automatically from that same ticket, so compliance is an output of normal operations rather than extra work. Book a focused demo to see the compliance workflow for your state.

Does WeighPay integrate with my existing scale and ALPR cameras?

Yes. WeighPay is hardware-agnostic. It works with any RS-232 or IP scale (Rice Lake, Cardinal, Fairbanks, Avery Weigh-Tronix, Mettler Toledo) and any IP camera for ALPR. Setup is typically completed in under 24 hours.

What does getting started with WeighPay look like?

The process starts with a short, pain-focused demo with Sarah around your operation and compliance setup. If it is a fit, you commit and we use Auto Assist configuration for your state rules, scale, and accounting after the sale.
