Scrap inward by grade with vendor rate cardsHMS, shredded, turnings, demolition scrap — each grade configured with its own vendor rate. Payables calculated automatically from trip weight.

Weigh bridge discrepancy alerts — per tripSystem flags every trip where WB actual weight differs from vendor-claimed weight beyond tolerance. Dispute evidence generated instantly — no manual chasing.

Separate cost allocation for scrap vs raw materialScrap inward trips tracked independently from iron ore and coal inbound. Clean cost allocation by material type for accurate input cost reporting.

Vendor-wise scrap performance reportsTrack your most reliable and cost-effective scrap suppliers — delivery consistency, weight accuracy, and cost per tonne per vendor over any period.

Compliance, Fuel & Preventive Maintenance

Overload compliance enforced, fuel leakage eliminated, and breakdowns at loading bays prevented

Vehicle compliance & overload permit trackingRC, insurance, fitness, pollution certs, plant gate passes, overload permits — all tracked with automated alerts. Custom field for permissible payload flags overloaded vehicles before dispatch.

Fuel cost allocated per trip typeInbound raw material, outbound finished goods, and scrap movement fuel costs tracked separately. Bowser fills and vendor pump reconciliation with weekly anomaly detection.

Preventive maintenance for tippers & flatbedsSchedule by km, engine hours, or calendar interval. Full job card system per vehicle: technician, parts, tipper hydraulics, flatbed stanchion checks, coil stanchion inspection.

Garage time & lifetime cost reportDays each vehicle was out of service visible to dispatch managers. Lifetime maintenance cost per vehicle surfaces true cost per tonne moved — owned vs hired fleet compared.
