Yard Management

Run Your Scrapyard From One Dashboard

Inventory, customers, suppliers, dockets, invoices, and staff access, built into the same ScrapTrade account you already trade on. No separate software, no separate login.

What's Actually Included

Inventory

Track scrap material and pricing per yard, add items, search and filter by status, and see a transaction history for every entry, not just a current snapshot.

Customers

Keep a record of who you buy from and sell to locally, separate from the verified buyers and sellers you reach through the wider marketplace.

Suppliers

Manage the businesses that supply material into your yard, with their own records distinct from your customer base.

Dockets & Invoices

Generate dockets for material movements and invoices for transactions, filter by customer or supplier, and mark invoices paid as money actually comes in.

Employees & Roles

Add staff to a specific yard, assign roles, and manage who has access to what, without sharing a single login between everyone on site.

Multiple Yards

Run more than one site from the same account, with inventory, staff, and records kept separate per yard, not lumped into one undifferentiated pool.

Built In, Not Bolted On

Most yard software is a separate system you run alongside a marketplace, two logins, two sets of records, nothing talking to each other. ScrapTrade's yard tools live in the same account as your marketplace listings, bids, and negotiations, so managing what's actually in your yard and trading it publicly aren't two different jobs.

A Note on Employee Access

The employee tools let you add staff to a specific yard and control what they can see and do, so you're not sharing one login across everyone on site. It's scoped to running that yard day to day, not a substitute for payroll or a full HR system if that's what you're looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a separate product from the ScrapTrade marketplace, or part of the same account?

Same account. Yard management sits inside the same ScrapTrade login you use to trade on the marketplace, there's no separate signup, subscription, or system to learn on top of it.

Does the employee management feature replace a full HR system?

No, and it's not meant to. It's staff access management for a specific yard: who can log in, what they can do, and basic contact details. It's not payroll, scheduling, or a broader HR platform, it's scoped to running the yard day to day.

Can I use this if I only run one yard?

Yes. Multi-yard support matters once you're managing more than one site, but every feature, inventory, customers, suppliers, dockets, invoices, works the same for a single yard.

Do dockets and invoices connect to anything outside the yard tools themselves?

They're part of your yard's own record-keeping: tracking material movements and billing for your local customers and suppliers. It's a separate record from marketplace transactions, which have their own order and payment history.

What does it cost to use the yard management features?

They're part of your ScrapTrade account. See our pricing page for current plan details.
