Frequently asked questions

Can the ticketing system run offline?

Yes — OnlineScrap is the only platform in the category that runs truly offline. A local master-node serves the yard, tickets get OFF- prefixed numbers, and everything auto-resyncs when connectivity returns.

Does it integrate with my existing scales?

Yes — standard weighbridge integrations, RS-232 and IP scale heads, and the major thermal printers are supported. Most yards do not need to replace hardware.

Can the system enforce photo / ID capture per commodity?

Yes — capture rules are configurable per commodity, with state-specific regulatory holds and watchlist screening.

Is voice ticketing real?

Yes — hands-free voice ticketing with AI transcription and real-time validation. Operators can keep their hands on the load while the ticket is created.

Does inbound, outbound, and transfer all run on the same ticket system?

Yes — one platform handles inbound peddler/commercial tickets, outbound to mills and smelters, and cross-yard transfers with full reconciliation.
