International Commerce Systems, a developer of trading and database software geared toward the scrap and recycling industries, is launching its new Web site, www.Scraptrust.com, Feb. 1, 2010.
The site has been developed to allow companies in the scrap industry to leave comments on other scrap dealers. Through the comment program, the Web site will give what it calls Scraptrust ratings.
All members have the ability to rebut any comments made about them with the Scraptrust.com rebuttal system. The database allows members to cross-check officers and principles of companies with any other companies they are, or have been, associated with, according to a company press release.
The database includes all available public records such as incorporation paperwork, current and settled lawsuits, facility photos as well as a myriad of other information that helps customers vet a prospective business partner.
Scraptrust.com offers additional features including: Web-based email marketing campaigns for buy/sell offers on individual lots of scrap; dispute resolution services; scrap inspection services; and an electronic escrow payment system to facilitate scrap transactions.
“The development of the site was carefully thought out to allow it to be simple for a worldwide audience to use,” says Eric Kurland, ICS’s senior developer and IT administrator. “We believe that the launch of Scraptrust.com will revolutionize the unregulated scrap industry and make it easier and safer for companies to transact business across the oceans.”
