Manage materials efficiently and in real time

The materials management system enables real-time inventory tracking and full visibility into the recycling process. Track the origin and flow of materials from reception through sorting and processing all the way to finished recycled materials. You can see materials being processed and ready for delivery, as well as any potential bottlenecks—improving efficiency, optimizing resource use, and supporting sustainable recycling.

AUTHORITY REPORTING

Generate the materials for authority reports in just a few clicks

When authorities or customers ask for transfer documents, sustainability reports, or origin certificates, the data is already captured throughout the entire supply chain. Export what you need in seconds instead of spending days compiling information from multiple disconnected systems.

Is your team drowning in Excel corrections and manual data transfers?

You're spending hours every day moving data between weighing systems, production software, and Excel sheets. Someone's always fixing errors, tracking down missing information, or manually creating reports for authorities. Meanwhile, you don't actually know what materials you have in storage or where they are.

Material Flow captures data automatically as materials arrive and move through your facility. Scales, weighing equipment, and integrated solutions feed information directly into the system. Reports are generated with a few clicks.

The impact:

30 % reduction in operational planning through supply visibility.
40% improvement in receiving and onsite handling efficiency through automation.
40% faster sustainability and regulatory reporting through automated data collection.

Key capabilities

Automated Weighing & Material Reception

Bridge scales and weighing equipment automatically transmit data to the Material Flow system, eliminating the need for manual entry of weights and volumes. Updates are reflected in real time for both drivers and operators, improving material handling efficiency and ensuring accuracy.

Real-Time Inventory & Storage Management

Track material quantities and types across all storage locations. Get real-time visibility into what’s being processed, ready for delivery, or awaiting further handling—helping you improve operational efficiency.

Load Scheduling & Logistics Coordination

Schedule loads in advance and optimize arrivals to avoid congestion. Coordinate transport and internal processes to ensure materials reach production on time.

Electronic Transfer Documents Automatically generate compliant electronic transfer documents with product details, origin, quantities, and delivery locations pre-filled in the system. This reduces manual work and ensures data accuracy.
General and Contract Pricing Management Manage standard and customer-specific pricing centrally and flexibly to meet the needs of different customers and volumes. Define pricing structures, discounts, and additional services clearly within a single system. Update price lists with ease—changes are automatically applied across all customer and delivery data.
Automated Compliance Reporting Produce data for sustainability reports and regulatory submissions with one click. All data is captured throughout the process and ready to export.
Full Supply Chain Traceability Track material flows from arrival through processing to their final destination. Gain full visibility into origin, quantities, and handling stages to support audits and customer requirements.
Consumer & Company Webstore
