Weighbridge data is the foundation of most waste records. Choosing weighbridge software that fits your gate and reporting workflow will save time and reduce errors.
Key Questions Before You Buy
- Which weighbridge brands and indicator models do you have?
- Do you need unattended, driver-operated or manned weighbridge workflows?
- Do you record first weigh, second weigh, direct weights and exceptions?
- Do you handle multiple waste streams and EWC codes at the same gate?
- Do you need weighbridge tickets printed, emailed or stored digitally?
Features to Look For
- Native integration with your existing weighbridge brand and indicators.
- Automatic gross/tare/net calculation with exception handling.
- Driver and vehicle recognition to speed gate times.
- Link from weighbridge ticket to waste transfer note, sample and acceptance.
- Digital Waste Tracking readiness and API connectivity.
- Audit trail of every weigh, edit and reprint.
Common Mistakes
- Buying software that does not talk to the existing weighbridge indicator.
- Recording weight in one system and everything else in another.
- Allowing manual overrides without an audit trail.
- Ignoring driver and vehicle data that carriers need for Digital Waste Tracking.
