The problem

Most operators have no idea
how profitable they actually are.

Revenue looks fine. But after yield loss, stripping time, and supplier costs — the real number is often very different.

You count revenue, not margin

After paying for the load, losing weight to yield, and stripping time — your real profit is much lower than your head says. Most operators only find out at the end of the month. Or never.

Your records are photos and memory

Tax time is a scramble through photos, texts, and bank statements. There's no way to pull up what you paid for a specific load or what your supplier owed you last month.

You can't see what's actually working

Which suppliers give you the best material? Which cable types strip highest? Without data, you're guessing — and guessing costs money.

How it works

From acquisition to sale.
Total visibility at every step.

01

Record the acquisition

Log the weight, price, and supplier in 30 seconds. Even walk-ins. ScrapDesk calculates your cost-per-kg automatically.

02

Sort by cable type

Break the load into categories — single core, twin & earth, multi-core, low grade. Assign weights to each batch.

03

Process and record yield

Strip it, weigh the clean copper out. ScrapDesk calculates your yield % for that batch and category — instantly.

04

Sell and see real profit

Log the sale, assign inventory. ScrapDesk shows you the exact profit margin after cost and yield loss. No spreadsheet required.

Analytics

See your real profit.
Not just your revenue.

Revenue is a vanity number if you don't know your cost. ScrapDesk shows you monthly revenue, profit, spend, and copper processed — in one view, with a single glance.
