What Is Recy? 

Recy is a cloud-based software system designed exclusively for metal recycling enterprises that is now integrated into the AMCS Platform for Metal. It integrates the key components of a recycling operation, such as contract management, pricing, scale integration, inventory, trading, and purchasing, into a single integrated system. Recy automatically integrates scale and business data into contracts, inventory records, and invoices after linking them, reducing manual entry and duplication work. The software also integrates with AMCS Financials for automated accounting, providing teams with a more detailed, real-time view of their business and allowing them to handle pricing, stock, and supplier payments with increased effectiveness. 

What Is Recy Best For? 

The platform stands out for its advanced dispatching engine, which provides recycling enterprises with a graphical, drag-and-drop view of scheduled and unscheduled orders, allowing them to quickly assign new runs or change existing ones. The platform supports logistics-heavy operations with real-time container and truck tracking via RFID, transponders, and GPS, automated charge generation and invoicing, and route, speed, and stop monitoring, allowing teams to reduce manual dispatch work while maintaining full visibility over their fleet and containers at all stages of the run.

Who Is Recy For? 

Recy software is built to support a vast range of industries and sectors, including: 

  • Metal recycling
  • Plastic recycling 
  • Paper recycling
  • Commercial and industrial waste management
  • Waste and recycling transport 

Recy Use Cases 

The use cases that follow center on industries that depend on precise grading, pricing, invoicing, and financial tracking in their daily operations, based on Recy's position as a platform specifically designed for metal recycling and related recycling operations. 

Metal Recycling Yards Grading Material Without Paper Tickets 

The grade of material coming off each truck is frequently recorded by metal recycling yards using paper tickets and manual notes, which can result in information loss and inconsistent grading between shifts. It becomes more difficult to maintain precise records linked to each load as yard volume increases. Yardmasters can grade materials and operate trucks directly from a portable device while cargoes are being unloaded thanks to Recy's mobile grading software. Weight and grade data flow directly into the system without duplicate entry when combined with full-scale integration, resulting in cleaner records and fewer manual errors for yards. 

Paper Recycling Companies Managing Frequent Price Changes 

Paper recycling enterprises face volatile material costs, making it hard to maintain consistent purchase and sales pricing across contracts and daily operations. Manually adjusting prices across many spreadsheets or systems raises the risk of charging customers or suppliers at the incorrect rate. Recy solves this with its price management module, which allows teams to swiftly update prices as market rates fluctuate. Paper recyclers can maintain consistent pricing and prevent billing errors by combining contract management with volume-based terms and fixed or unfixed pricing. 

Plastic Recycling Firms Struggling With Manual Purchase Invoicing 

Plastic recycling businesses that buy materials straight from suppliers often need to issue self-billed purchase invoices, and doing this by hand across multiple locations can be slow and prone to mistakes. When this process is delayed or handled incorrectly, it can throw off supplier payments and financial reporting. Recy's purchase module fixes this by automatically generating self-billed invoices using scale and transaction data. Because accounting is tightly connected through AMCS Financials, plastic recyclers can have purchase entries posted automatically, cutting down on the manual work tied to supplier payments. 

Waste and Recycling Transport Businesses Tracking Cash And Sales Activity 

Every day, waste and recycling transport organizations deal with a combination of cash payments, cashless purchases, and sales shipments, all of which must be accurately monitored for accounting purposes. When no connected system is in place, this information may be recorded differently from team to team or location to location. Recy's cash and sales modules address this by collecting both cash and cashless transactions, as well as sales shipments processed via the scale program or the back office. As a result, transportation enterprises may have a clearer, more consistent picture of their daily financial operations without having to keep separate manual records. 

Is Recy Right For You? 

Recy is ideal for metal, plastic, and paper recycling businesses that wish to consolidate grading, pricing, invoicing, and accounting into a single integrated system rather than depending on spreadsheets and manual operations. It is especially useful for yards and recycling organizations, who struggle to retain accurate records across scales, contracts, and daily transactions as their operations expand. 

Recy reduces human data entry and errors by directly connecting grading, scale, and invoicing data, while AMCS Financials automates accounting entries for finance departments. It also adheres to data protection rules, such as GDPR, to ensure customer information security. 

AI is transforming the recycling sector, with sorting systems now achieving up to 95% polymer accuracy and predictive tools reducing material losses while increasing throughput. With its scale integration, automated grading tools, and linked data modules, Recy keeps up with this change, providing recyclers with the assistance they require to remain productive in a sector that is becoming more reliant on technology.

Recy Features

Contract Management

Generate purchase orders and sales contracts based on annual volume, metal composition, fixed or unfixed pricing, recovery percentages, and LME hedging. Contracts can be communicated and signed online to ensure paperless processing. Contract positions are updated in real time, displaying what is priced, what is still open, and whether you are long or short, with notifications sent directly to traders via the CRM.

Price Management

Set prices for commodities, customers, locations, date ranges, quantities, or sites, and quickly adjust them using base price lists that are linked or unlinked to the market. Prices can also be pegged to LME or COMEX rates, and consumers will receive fixation notices immediately.

See How It Works
Integrated Scale Management

Recy receives weight data directly from truck and platform scales, eliminating the need for manual entry. Each weighing machine automatically feeds inventory, contract positions, and invoices, which speeds up yard turnaround. The system also includes camera integration for photo capturing, as well as sorting and quality control capabilities for mixed metals.

See How It Works
Stock/Inventory

Inventory is updated automatically when things are received and priced, with the weighted average approach by default (FIFO or LIFO are also options). Freight and other direct costs can be linked to shipments at any time, and inventory adjustments can be automatically posted to accounting at the end of each month.

See How It Works
Trading

Purchase and sales contracts are linked together, allowing brokers to dispatch products, prepare shipping documentation, and organize transportation while maintaining complete control of their contract position. An online module allows suppliers to see contracts and dispatch goods directly, avoiding the need for human broker work. Margins can be tracked for each shipment, contract, project, customer, and supplier.

See How It Works
Purchase

Recy allows self-billing, in which the recycling company creates purchase invoices for suppliers based on agreed-upon prices and scale tickets. It separates material and service items on payables and receivables as needed, and it administers check payments through a separate control account to simplify bank reconciliation.
