ScrapRight 101: Introduction, Login, and Software Overview

Welcome to ScrapRight 101 — the starting point for new users. This guide provides a high-level tour of the ScrapRight interface, login process, and main screens. It helps you get familiar with the layout before diving into detailed setup in later videos (e.g., ScrapRight 102: Compliance & Organization Settings).

Goal of This Module

  • Understand how to log in (cloud-hosted or local server).
  • Get oriented with the Dashboard and key tabs.
  • Recognize major features and where they live so future training makes sense.

1. Logging In to ScrapRight

ScrapRight is a web-based application (works in any modern browser; Google Chrome is recommended for best performance).

  • Cloud-Hosted Users (most common):
    • You'll receive an email from ScrapRight with your unique web address (e.g., yourbusinessname.scrapright.com).
    • Open the link in Chrome.
  • Local/On-Premise Server Users:
    • After server installation and network setup, access via the internal IP or hostname (e.g., http://192.168.x.x or servername.local).
    • Contact ScrapRight support if you need help pointing to the server.
  • Credentials:
    • Use the setup/admin user provided in your welcome email.
    • Change password immediately after first login for security.

Once logged in, you land on the Dashboard — your home screen.

2. The Dashboard (Home Screen)

The Dashboard gives a quick business snapshot.

Key Elements:

  • Top Left: Dashboard label + quick stats
    • Aggregate data: Pounds of non-ferrous, ferrous, other materials purchased.
    • Ticket count, customer count, business count.
    • Catalytic converters purchased, vehicles (if configured as a material type).
    • Adjustable date range (default: today; change to view historical totals).
  • Right Side – Support & Resources:
    • ScrapRight Help Desk: Submit tickets, view open ticket status (create a help desk account if needed).
    • FAQ, tutorials, and training videos (like this series).
    • Links to Buy Side, Inventory, Hardware/IoT (container dispatch & tracking), Admin/Configuration.
    • Support hours, phone number, voicemail → auto-creates ticket.
    • Message Center: Urgent announcements from ScrapRight (e.g., updates, outages).
    • Product spotlight + link to ScrapRight store.

3. Main Navigation Tabs Overview

Transactions / Ticketing Tab

Your daily core operations hub.

  • Ticketing Screen — Create new tickets (main buying screen).
  • Accounts Payable, Check Register.
  • Inventory quick access.
  • ATM Transactions (if using ATM payouts).
  • NVIDIS / Full-Size Ticket Entry.
  • AP Review, Admin Ticket Review.
  • Customer Display — Extra monitor for customers to watch ticket build in real time (shows enlarged receipt).
  • QuickBooks sync transactions.
  • Manual Check Entry (pay non-ticket items like vendors/IT via ScrapRight checks for easy accounting sync).

Ticketing Screen Layout (once materials are added):

  • Left: Your logo, current user, ticket date/start time.
  • Customer section: Scan license → auto-fills ID info + photo; edit vehicle/plate; attach notes/files; take vehicle/seller photos.
  • Material folders/groups (e.g., Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Iron, Stainless, Lead, Misc, Cats).
    • Click folder → shows materials in that category.
  • Pay screen captures additional images/signature (per compliance rules).

Materials Tab

Where you define what you buy/sell.

  • Materials — List all individual items (prices, descriptions).
  • Material Groups — Organize into categories (e.g., Iron group → Steel material). Setup groups first, then add materials.
  • Price Lists — Create special pricing:
    • Global: Applies to everyone (e.g., temporary bump for high-volume steel to fill a contract).
    • Qualified: Assigned to specific customers (e.g., electricians, plumbers, loyal peddlers get extra per pound).

Customers Tab

Two types for compliance & organization:

  • Businesses — Companies with licenses; exempt from most peddler compliance (no ID/photo required in many states).
  • Customers (Peddlers/Individuals) — Everyone else; full compliance (ID scan, photos, signature, age check, etc.).

Reports Tab

Powerful analytics — run reports on almost anything:

  • Purchase summaries, cashier reconciliation.
  • Customer history (top customers, visit frequency, payouts).
  • Inventory, ATM, employee/time clock (if enabled).
  • Compliance uploads, transaction details.

Configuration / Admin Tab

Backend setup (detailed in ScrapRight 102+):

  • Compliance rules (photos, ID, signature, age, vehicle plate, etc.).
  • Organization settings (ticket numbering, pay preferences, rounding, checks).
  • Users & Permissions (who can do what — lock down price changes, AP visibility).
  • Backup/Restore, Upload History (state/federal reporting).
  • Ticket Builder (disclaimer on receipts; future custom layouts).
  • My Billing (add modules like inventory).
  • Hardware/Peripherals (cameras, scanners, scales, printers).
  • Workstations (define scale stations, AP desk, etc.).
  • Contamination buttons (dock for dirt, trash, moisture).
  • Auto/Manual Uploads (to state portals like Texas DPS, Ohio, etc.).
  • Cash Drawer setup (multi-drawer, vault, count-down prompts).
  • ATM configuration (cassettes, low-bill warnings).
  • Synchronization (QuickBooks, Peachtree, etc.).

Quick Tips for New Users

  • Start with Admin/Configuration setup before adding materials or users (see ScrapRight 102).
  • Use Chrome for smoothest experience.
  • Explore the Dashboard's Help Desk & Message Center daily.
  • Test features in a demo/sandbox database if available.
  • Reach out to support early — they're excellent at guided setup.

This completes the high-level tour. You're now familiar with the interface and ready for deeper setup in ScrapRight 102 (Compliance & Organization).

Thanks for starting with us — let's get your yard efficient and compliant! See you in the next module. If questions pop up, submit via the Help Desk right from the Dashboard.
