Industrial Scrap Traders Association Software

The problem

Weighbridge mornings bury the membership book

Trucks keep coming. The association still reconciles chanda from a dusty desk drawer.

Yard, dealer and recycler

One body mixes roles. Fees differ, but the register is one column. Yards, itinerant dealers and recyclers need distinct fee treatment.

Fees collected at the scale

Cash is taken when a truck is weighed. Matching the firm later is hard. Scale-desk cash is fast; matching it to a firm that night is slow.

GST copies in a dusty drawer

Trade papers go missing when a member needs a letter mid-season. Dusty drawers eat GST copies during monsoon.

Rates by rumour

A price circular is spoken across the yard until half the market works on yesterday’s number. Morning auction numbers become afternoon rumours without a post.

Truck queues beat the meet

Attendance is a sheet while yards are still unloading. Truck queues do not pause for a signature attendance sheet.

Who takes which grade

A dealer needs a recycler and has to ask three people in the lane. Grade buyers are found by asking around the lane.

How Associan helps

Yards keep weighing; the market body keeps one ledger

Market-body tools already in Associan — not weighbridge or scrap ERP.

Joining form for scrap firms

A dealer applies with firm name, GST, city and category from the yard office, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

GST and trade papers on file

The papers your committee asks for stay with the firm, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

Fees by kind of member

Set separate fees for yard, dealer and associate, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

UPI or cash against the same firm

Members pay online. Cash at the scale desk is recorded against the same member, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

Rate circulars on one board

Post a rate or meeting note once. Members read it in the app, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

Find traders by city

Members search other scrap traders by city and category, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

A month with Associan

Chanda week after the scale quiets

When the scale quiets, the secretary mails due yards; anyone who pays from the yard office gets a numbered PDF.

A new dealer joins with GST while a truck waits; committee tags yard vs dealer correctly for the directory.

Rate notes after the morning auction go on the board before lunch, so afternoon trucks are not priced on rumour. Saturday market meet: pass scans, unpaid filtered, Friday rate note still on the board. Rate notes after the morning auction go on the board before lunch, so afternoon trucks are not priced on rumour.

Case study · National operator association

How All India Car Rentals runs its association on Associan

AICR moved operator joining, fee collection, certificates and chapter-meet check-in onto one white-label app with its own name, logo and CIN on every PDF. Applications, document checks and payments that used to live in WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets now sit in one place the committee can see.
