ScrapRight puts Windfield Alloy in the win column

Recyclers have many choices when selecting software to automate operations, track inventory, maintain regulatory compliance and create helpful management reports.

Windfield Alloy, a metals recycling firm with locations in Atkinson, New Hampshire, and Lawrence, Massachusetts, has turned to ScrapRight to check all those boxes and considers itself a winner in the process.

Brandon Tetler, vice president at Windfield Alloy, calls ScrapRight’s software “a game changer to streamline your operations, boost efficiency and make your life easier.”

Windfield Alloy buys and sells a wide range of scrap materials, including ferrous and nonferrous metals and obsolete electronics, from a lengthy roster of sources.

The benefits of ScrapRight software start with its ease of use, according to Tetler.

“ScrapRight’s interface is as intuitive as it gets—think Apple-level simplicity,” he says. “My team was up and running within 24 hours of setup. Whether you’re handling tickets or checking inventory, it’s fast and straightforward.”

Purchasing scrap involves considerable compliance with measures designed to reduce theft, and ScrapRight helps recyclers meet those scale house obligations.

“Staying compliant with state and local regulations used to be a headache, but ScrapRight’s built-in rules and auto uploads handle it all, so we don’t have to sweat the details,” Tetler says.

During the inventory and sales stages, ScrapRight is just as vital to Windfield Alloy’s operations.

“We get real-time data on inventory, profits and payouts in seconds,” Tetler says. “I’ve got a ton of reports at my fingertips, and they’ve quadrupled our efficiency while catching mistakes before they become problems.”

While problems with his ScrapRight software have been extremely rare, Tetler says when they occur, the software provider is ready to help.

“If I hit a snag, their support team is on it—usually within 15 minutes,” he says. “They don’t just fix issues, they keep me in the loop and make sure everything’s running smoothly.”

Another critical advantage ScrapRight offers is its portability.

“Running Windfield Alloy means juggling a lot—multiple locations, a growing team of over 50 and expanding programs like electronics shredding,” Tetler says. “The cloud-based platform lets us use iPad Minis for transactions on the go, which has made a huge difference for our team.

“The software’s rolling average costing and customizable pricing keep our operations tight, and the QuickBooks integration, with quick fixes from their support team when needed, makes our accounting seamless.”

Considering the growth and increasing complexity of Windfield Alloy’s operations, which adhere to ISO 14001 and R2:2013 standards, Tetler says he had been skeptical about switching software before investing in the ScrapRight system.

Now, he has no qualms about that decision and is quick to recommend ScrapRight to other recyclers.

“Before ScrapRight, we were bogged down by manual processes and clunky systems,” Tetler says. “Now, our efficiency has skyrocketed, and we’re spotting errors before they cost us. Our team has been using their software for a while now, and it’s transformed the way we run our business.

“ScrapRight’s ease of use and reporting power won me over; we’re not just keeping up with demand, we’re growing, opening new sales offices and handling more volume than ever.”
