How to Use ScrapTrade as a Business

For companies and recycling plants — everything a Trader account has, plus team accounts so more than one person can run the operation.

Team Accounts

The Business dashboard's Team page is what sets it apart from Trader — multiple people in your company can work from the same account instead of sharing one login. This is separate from Yard Management's own staff feature below, which specifically covers docket and inventory access.

Sourcing at Volume

If you need a specific material and grade in bulk and active listings don't reliably cover it, post a Purchase Requisition on the Wanted Board instead of searching repeatedly — sellers who can supply it respond with quotes directly, so you compare offers instead of re-checking the marketplace every week.

Bulk Listing via CSV Import

Same as Trader accounts: upload a spreadsheet of multiple lots at once instead of creating listings individually — useful if you're clearing inventory or listing recovered material at volume.

Yard Management (Free, Built In)

A full point-of-sale and CRM for a physical yard or recycling plant, available free to every Business account:

  • Purchase (INCOMING) and sale (OUTGOING) dockets per transaction, with AI photo-identify to prefill material/grade from a picture.
  • A real inventory ledger by category, material, and grade, updated automatically as dockets complete.
  • A customer book with compliance ID capture, tags, and a notes/reminders timeline.
  • A price board, P&L per material, a supplier payouts report with CSV export, and volume charts.
  • Add staff (Operators or Managers) so warehouse/yard employees can use these tools directly, scoped to your yard specifically.
  • "List on Marketplace" turns inventory directly into a pre-filled listing draft.

Analytics

Tracks listing views, bid activity, conversion, and revenue across your account — the same tool a Trader account uses, distinct from Yard Management's own P&L reporting.
