Scrap Metal Software for Ohio

Ohio scrap metal dealers report daily to BCI through the OARRS-equivalent transactions system. WeighPay files Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4737 transactions automatically.

Ohio Regulation & Compliance Notes

Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4737 (Scrap Metal Dealers) requires licensed dealers to capture seller photo ID, vehicle license plate, signed statement of ownership, photo of the material, and to report every transaction electronically — typically the same business day — to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) via the designated transactions database. Payment by check or electronic transfer is required above the cash thresholds set by Chapter 4737, and a hold period applies to certain regulated articles. WeighPay generates the daily BCI-format transaction export, enforces cash thresholds, and retains the photo + ID register for the full statutory period.

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.
