Scrap trades on WhatsApp.
We think it deserves better.

Scrapi is a private operating layer for medium-and-large yards. Email, SMS, and WhatsApp bids land in one sorted table, with an immutable record behind every accepted deal. No public marketplace. No buyer-list resale. No middleman.

Sales managers spend nearly half their day inside group chats. Bid history lives in a phone someone is going to drop in a coffee. The yards we know best deserve a better operating layer — not a marketplace, not an ERP, and definitely not another broker looking to sit between them and their buyers.
— Founder note

Three steps. That's it.

01 / Intake

List a lot in 60 seconds.

Forward an email, paste a message, or snap a photo set on your phone. We parse weight, grade, and packaging. You confirm. Done.

02 / Broadcast

Reach your buyers where they already are.

Send to your private list over email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Buyers reply on the channel they're already using — no app to download, no portal to remember.

03 / Triage

One sorted table. One click to accept.

Every bid lands in one screen, normalized to FOB and sorted by effective price. Accept locks the deal, notifies the floor, and writes the Truth Log.

We speak the dialect.

Built by people who've worked the buyer side of recycling. We parse "$2.40 FOB," "240 del," "pass" — and we understand the grade-speak, from HMS and busheling to 304 clip, dirty alum, and ICW. FOB / DEL normalization, weight-and-grade reconciliation, and a Truth Log behind every settlement.

Built for both sides of the deal.

For yards

Run your sales floor like the operation it actually is.

  • One inbox for every channel. Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and direct portal bids — sorted, normalized, searchable.
  • Your buyer list is yours. Private broadcasts only. Per-tenant encryption. We never aggregate, resell, or expose your list to other yards.
  • An audit log your owner will love. Every photo, weight, and bid attached immutably to the accepted lot. Disputes get resolved in minutes, not days.
  • Sync with your ERP. Don't replace it. We're an operating layer, not a rip-and-replace. Monthly database exports written into your contract.
For buyers

Reply how you already do — and never miss a lot.

  • No app. No login. No friction. Get a lot alert, reply with your number on the same channel. Scrapi parses it into the yard's bid stack.
  • Quote in the format you already use. "$2.40 FOB," "240 del," "pass" — we understand the dialect, including the grade-speak.
  • Win or lose, you'll know fast. Auto-notification when a lot closes. No more chasing the yard for a status update three days after the fact.
  • One reference point, when you want it. A buyer account is optional, not required — bring all your yard relationships into a single inbox if and when it makes sense.

Every deal, on the record.

Dispute resolution, built in

Photos, weights, assays, every bid — attached to the accepted deal.

Post-sale claims are the most expensive surprises in scrap. Scrapi attaches every input — the photos you took, the scale ticket, the assay, every incoming bid — to the accepted lot in an append-only record. When a buyer disputes weight or grade, the answer is one click away. Your owner gets cover. Your buyer gets certainty. The deal closes on time.

What you can count on.

/ 01

Private buyer lists.

Your buyers stay yours. We never aggregate, resell, or surface your list to anyone outside your tenant.

/ 02

No public marketplace.

Scrapi will never operate a public pool of yards or buyers. We are not a broker, and we don't intend to become one.

/ 03

Sync, never replace.

We sit beside your ERP and scale software, not on top of them. API-first, with file-based fallbacks where vendors don't expose APIs.

/ 04

Your data, exportable.

A full database export is written into your contract. Monthly. Yours. No lock-in, no migration toll.

Bootstrapped. On purpose.

We are not raising venture capital. We are building Scrapi the way the industry we serve actually runs — by reinvesting what we earn, paying our own bills, and answering only to the operators who use the product every day.

One of us has spent his career on the buyer side of recycling. The other builds software. We started because every yard we know deserves a better tool than the one they've cobbled together — and because we'd rather build it for them than watch a marketplace try to replace them.

If we earn your business, we earn it twice: once when you sign up, and once every month thereafter.
