Run Your Operation Like
A Tech Company
Scrap yards, manufacturers, importers doing $5-50M+—we install systems that turn operational chaos into calm, digital execution.
The Industrial Ops Tax
Quote Requests Buried in Email
Customers send photos, specs, quantities via email/text. Every quote requires manual lookup, calculation, and follow-up. You're losing deals to response time.
Inventory is Complete Chaos
Material across multiple yards/warehouses. No real-time tracking. Employees calling around to find stock. Customers asking "do you have X?" and you honestly don't know.
Paper Everything
Scale tickets, invoices, job sheets—all paper or PDFs scattered across email. No searchability, no reporting, no insight into margins or trends.
Can't Scale Your Knowledge
You can price a job in 30 seconds. Your team takes 30 minutes and still gets it wrong. Your pricing judgment doesn't transfer—it's locked in your head.
What We Install
Digital infrastructure that embeds your operational judgment and runs 24/7.
Regional Scrap Metal Operation
$22M annual revenue, 3 yards, 40+ employees, losing deals to slow quote response
The Problem: Owner personally handled every quote request—photos via text, specs via email, calls during the day. Response time averaged 4-6 hours. Inventory was tracked on whiteboards at each yard. Lost 20-30% of inbound quotes to faster competitors.
What We Built: SMS/email quote system that receives requests, analyzes photos/specs, checks real-time inventory across all yards, and returns pricing automatically using owner's historical pricing logic. Digital job board showing all active quotes, pickups, and invoices.
The Result: Quote response time: 6 hours → 8 minutes. Conversion rate increased 35% because customers got instant responses. Owner freed from phone prison. Team could check inventory from anywhere. Revenue up $380K in first 6 months just from faster quotes.
The Math
Quote conversion improvement: 35% × 80 monthly quotes × $12K avg = $336K/year
Owner time recovered: 25 hours/week × $400/hour = $10K/week
Typical system cost: $7K-$35K depending on complexity
ROI: 3-8 weeks
Beyond Operations: Data Intelligence
Once your operations are digital, your data becomes valuable. We're exploring intelligence layers for larger operations.
What's Possible with Your Transaction Data:
Customer Profitability Analysis
Which customers are actually profitable after accounting for payment delays, contamination issues, and operational hassle? Most yards track revenue, not true profit per customer.
Fraud & Quality Pattern Detection
Identify which customers consistently over-estimate material quality or under-deliver on weight. Pattern recognition that saves tens of thousands annually.
Payment Risk Scoring
Early warning system for customers who are about to default. Payment pattern changes often precede bad debt by 60-90 days.
Dynamic Customer Pricing
Price based on true customer value, not just material type. High-volume, clean-load, fast-pay customers deserve better rates than high-maintenance accounts.
These capabilities require significant transaction history and custom modeling. We're working with select operations to prove the value.
If you're $20M+ revenue with years of data in your system, let's talk.
