What ScrapReg does
Buying register
Log every acquisition — item details, weight, photos, and vehicle particulars (VIN, engine, odometer) where they apply. Each entry gets a sequential reference for a clean audit trail.
Selling register
Record every disposal and, where you want, link it back to the stock you bought. The system blocks a sale until the item's holding period has cleared.
ID & signature capture
Capture the seller's ID image, verification method, and an on-screen signature, with age and ownership declarations — exactly what the Act expects you to hold.
Works offline
Capture buys and sells at the yard with no signal — photos and signatures included. Everything syncs automatically the moment you reconnect.
Who ScrapReg is for
ScrapReg is for South African second-hand goods and scrap dealers who need to keep the buying and selling registers required by law — without the paper ledgers, the missing signatures, and the compliance risk.
Whether you run a scrap metal yard, a second-hand goods store, a used-vehicle operation, or several branches with clerks on the counter — ScrapReg keeps every record consistent, searchable, and ready for inspection.
How it works

2
Capture a buy
Record the item and the seller, snap the ID and the goods, and take a signature on the screen. A 7-day hold starts automatically.

3
Sell it on
When the hold clears, record the disposal and the buyer. ScrapReg won't let you sell an item before its holding period is up.
