A truck scale is the cash register of your operation.
If you owned a retail store would you want your register operators to handle the cash and not record what they are selling?
If you answer no to this question then you should consider looking into truck scale software to go with your truck scale. A truck scale software package works like this-your scale indicator feeds the scale weight to a computer located in the scale house. From there, the scale operator handles all aspects of the transaction, working within a windows environment with simple drop down windows, to record valuable transaction data all while completing the transaction in a fast, easy, timely manner. A good truck scale software system can handle multiple scales, trucks, materials, store tare weights for regular trucks entering your facility, provide transaction reports with the touch of a few buttons and give you piece of mind from a transaction security standpoint. Some systems today can interface with cameras to take pictures of the truck while on the scale, scan drivers licenses (particularly useful in scrap metal applications) and take signatures of drivers, all to be stored within each transaction record within the computer. Most systems also interface to accounting systems such as Quickbooks, PeachTree and other accounting packages seamlessly, eliminating the need for hours and hours or manual paperwork and manual data entry errors.
Bottom line is: a good software system for your truck scale is a wise investment into your business and will generate R.O.I. in a short period of time.
