Self-Serve Interactive Yard Sandbox

Try every role, every workflow, and every add-on live — right in your browser.

Step straight into Kliprivier Scrap Metals — a pre-seeded South African two-yard operation (Germiston Main Yard & Pretoria West Depot) with live copper, brass, aluminium, cable, and HMS stock, an open interlink truck waiting on the weighbridge, SAPS declarations, processing batches, and all 6 add-ons unlocked.

No sign-up · All 15 roles · All 6 add-ons active · Auto-wipes on exit

Opens your own isolated South African scrap yard sandbox (Kliprivier Scrap Metals — Germiston & Pretoria depots) for 60 minutes. When you click “Exit & Wipe Demo”, all demo data is erased immediately so nothing is ever shared with other visitors.

Switch All 15 Roles Live

Flip instantly between Owner, Yard Manager, Weighbridge Operator, Purchasing Clerk, Cashier, Stock Controller, Compliance Officer & Auditor.

All 6 Add-Ons Active

Multi-Yard, SAPS Controlled Metals, Scale Photo Evidence, Mill Outturn Variance, Statements, and WhatsApp Notices are all unlocked.

Built-In Guided Tour

Every screen includes plain-English explanations of how Scrapflow works, what each role can do, and what to try next.

Auto-Resets on Exit

Each visitor gets a private sandbox. Exiting or resetting wipes 100% of your demo changes immediately so other users never see them.

What you can test & how everything works

Once inside the interactive demo, click “How Everything Works” in the top control bar at any time to jump straight to any of these 8 live yard workflows:

Core Workflow

1. Multi-Yard Owner Dashboard & Margins

Shows live intake kg, spend, sales revenue, gross margin, and stock balances across Germiston Main Yard and Pretoria West Depot. Use the yard selector in the top bar to view all yards combined or drill into a single branch.

Hands-on in demo: Check today's seeded intake & sales margin, then switch yards in the top bar.

Core Workflow

2. Two-Pass Truck Weighbridge & Counter Scale

Weigh a loaded truck in (First Weigh), let it tip in the yard, then weigh it out empty (Second Weigh) and split the net weight across multiple metal grades with moisture/dirt deductions.

Hands-on in demo: We pre-parked truck CAW 482 GP (14,820 kg gross) on the scale — click Weighbridge to weigh it out!

Included Add-On (Unlocked in Demo)

3. Buying Scrap + SAPS Controlled Metal Compliance

When buying Copper or Brass, Scrapflow automatically snapshots your active buy price, updates stock immediately, captures the Second-Hand Goods Act seller ID/address/vehicle declaration, and blocks illegal cash payouts on controlled metals.

Hands-on in demo: Create a Copper purchase ticket, then open Purchases to test Cash Lock vs EFT payout.

Included Add-On (Unlocked in Demo)

4. Scale & Vehicle Photo Evidence

Attach timestamped photos of the load on the scale and the delivery vehicle directly to any Purchase or Sale ticket so weight or contamination disputes are settled in seconds.

Hands-on in demo: Open any completed Purchase Ticket and upload a sample image under Ticket Photos.

Core Workflow

5. Live Stock Ledger, Counts & Cable-Stripping Batches

Stock never changes by silent edits — every kg comes from a ticket, an approved physical stock count, or an approved Processing Batch (e.g. stripping insulated copper cable into Bare Bright Copper + PVC waste with full yield % & cost allocation).

Hands-on in demo: Inspect BATCH-0001 (Cable Stripping) or draft your own processing batch.

Included Add-On (Unlocked in Demo)

6. Mill Dispatches & Mill Outturn Variance Tracking

Dispatch loads to smelters/foundries and log the mill's settled weight certificate against your yard scale weight so short-weights are spotted and queried immediately.

Hands-on in demo: View the seeded Rand Refinery copper dispatch and its Mill Outturn variance report.

Included Add-On (Unlocked in Demo)

7. Supplier/Customer Statements, Valuation & Journals

Generate clean period statements showing tickets, payouts, and running balances for regular commercial suppliers and buyers, plus inspect live stock valuation and export CSV accounting journals.

Hands-on in demo: Open Suppliers (click Statement on Highveld Electrical) or open Inventory Valuation.

Core Workflow

8. 15 Staff Roles, Configurable Policies & Audit Trail

Every action in Scrapflow is role-checked and written to an append-only Audit Log. Owners can toggle configurable permissions (e.g. whether clerks may override prices) without touching code.

Hands-on in demo: Use the Role Switcher at the very top of the screen to step into Cashier, Weighbridge Operator, or Auditor!

Every staff role — explained & testable
