Scrap Metal Recycling Industry

Scrap ERP
Scrap and waste materials businesses run on speed and margin. When your scale tickets, material grading, inventory, and invoicing live in separate systems — or worse, spreadsheets — every delay costs money. Loop ERP brings it all into one NetSuite-powered system, so your team spends less time reconciling data and more time moving material.
Loop ERP is NetSuite-native ERP software for scrap metal recycling and waste management companies that need to centralize scale tickets, material grading, inventory, dispatch, and settlements in one system.

Scrap recycling ERP is enterprise resource planning software built specifically for the workflows that run a recycling operation: inbound ticketing, material grading, scale integration, settlement calculations, compliance tracking, and financial reconciliation. Unlike general-purpose ERP systems, scrap recycling ERP is designed around the fact that your inventory changes grade, weight, and value at every step of the process. A load comes in as mixed ferrous, gets sorted and graded, moves through the yard, and goes out priced against a market index with deductions for contamination and freight. General ERP wasn't built to handle that. Scrap recycling ERP was.

Frequently Asked Questions
Loop ERP automates supplier payments based on ticket data, net weight, and grade. It supports deductions, freight netting, multi-party deals, consignment sales, and joint ventures. Buyers receive invoices that break out surcharges, alloy adjustments, and transport costs — all generated from the same ticket data that drives operations.
Loop is built on Oracle NetSuite, which means you get enterprise-grade accounting, CRM, and financial reporting built in. There is no separate accounting system to sync with, and no additional middleware between your operations and your books.
Loop handles ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, fiber, paper, e-waste, and general industrial waste. If your operation processes a mix of material streams, Loop tracks each one separately through the same unified system.
Loop ERP maintains a full chain-of-custody for every load, by lot, weight, grade, and site. For ESG reporting, real-time dashboards track tons recycled, carbon saved, and landfill diversion. That documentation is available for audits without any manual assembly.
Yes. The pricing module supports dynamic pricing by grade, alloy, weight, market index, contamination rate, and packaging type. Pricing adjusts automatically based on supplier agreements, deal terms, and location. You set the rules once, and the system applies them consistently.
Loop lets you record grades by ISRI code, alloy content, and appearance at inbound, outbound, and QA checkpoints. Inspectors can attach notes and photos to each ticket. If a load is flagged for reclassification or contains restricted material, the system enforces the appropriate inspection workflow before it moves forward.
Yes. Loop ERP captures certified weights from connected scales and automatically calculates gross, tare, and net weights. Those figures flow directly into your inventory records and financial modules: no manual re-entry, no reconciliation headaches.
Loop ERP is purpose-built for materials-based businesses, including scrap metal, industrial recycling, and waste processing operations. General ERP systems treat inventory as static. Loop is designed for inventory that changes grade, weight, and value at every stage, from inbound ticketing and grading to settlement and final sale.
Loop ERP runs on Oracle NetSuite, so your data lives inside enterprise cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, and audit logging on every transaction. Ticket edits, grade changes, and settlement adjustments all carry a user stamp and timestamp. If a record is overridden or reclassified, you can see who did it and when, which matters for disputes, audits, and internal controls.
Loop ERP pulls data straight from the same ticket and inventory records that run the yard, so sustainability reports reflect what actually moved, not a separate data set. Real-time dashboards track tons recycled by material, carbon saved, and landfill diversion by facility or customer. When a buyer or regulator asks for proof, you can produce a traceable record tied to specific loads, grades, and destinations instead of rebuilding it from spreadsheets.
Yes. Loop ERP is built on NetSuite, the same platform used by enterprise recyclers, multi-yard operators, and shredder networks. It handles multi-entity accounting, consolidated reporting across locations, high daily ticket volumes, and complex settlement structures without slowing down. If you are running one yard today and five next year, you do not need to replatform to keep up.
Implementation time varies, depending on the number of locations, material streams, and integrations involved (scales, cameras, payment processors, third-party logistics). The Loop ERP team handles data migration, workflow configuration, scale integration, and training in parallel, and we work directly with your operations leads, not just IT, so the system matches how your yard actually runs on day one.
Most ERP systems treat inventory as static boxes on a shelf. Loop ERP is built for inventory that changes grade, weight, and value at every step, which is how scrap, recycling, aggregate, brokerage, and similar materials-based businesses actually work. It is also NetSuite-native, so you do not need a separate accounting package, a middleware layer, or a patchwork of integrations to get from inbound ticket to closed financials. One login, one system, one source of truth for operations and finance.
