The David J. Joseph Co. (DJJ), Cincinnati, has entered into an agreement to purchase a multi-site license for Scrap Boss from Synergistic Systems, Neptune Beach, Fla.
Scrap Boss is touted as “a complete system for the scrap recycling industry, having container control, trip dispatch and maintenance, real-time driver statuses, and an interface to the DJJ/Systems Alternatives International (SAI) business systems.”
According to SAI, Maumee, Ohio, the combination of the two systems will provide DJJ with “the most comprehensive dispatch management system within the recycling industry.”
Scrap Boss was designed using knowledge gained from working with scrap recyclers, including DJJ, according to its designers. It includes technology used in Synergy Dispatch, a software packages used by the LTL (less-than-truckload) trucking industry since the early 1990s.
The first installation of Scrap Boss will be at River Metals, a wholly owned DJJ subsidiary in Newport, Ky. Scrap Boss will then be rolled out to DJJ’s other subsidiaries.
