Recycling, Waste & Vehicle Dismantling

Business software for recycling and waste operations

A sector where the paperwork is the licence to operate — and where the rules change this autumn for every permitted site, dismantlers included. Every load in, every load out, every grade, every ticket: recorded, traceable and findable. For the donor-to-parts handoff, see our focused vehicle dismantling automation guide.

A dated obligation, not a productivity argument

Digital reporting becomes mandatory for permitted or licensed receiving sites in England and Wales on 1 October 2026, and in Scotland and Northern Ireland on 1 January 2027. We map what your records are missing and, where a named compatible provider supports it, can quote the integration route. Inferred and Cortex are not presented as Defra-approved reporting software.

A smaller first step

Five practical places to start.

Each automation below has a fixed scope and a starting price of £1,495. Start with the task that creates the most retyping or chasing. If that is not clear yet, the Operations Audit measures it first.

Five starting points for everyday work — choose one useful project and expand only where it earns its cost.

Solution 01

Digital waste tracking readiness review

What do you need in place before digital waste tracking becomes mandatory?

The service asks for particular fields on every movement. Most sites hold most of them, somewhere, in a mix of duplicate books, weighbridge printouts and a spreadsheet. The gap is not usually the data — it is that nobody has compared what you hold against what is asked for.

What we build

We map your existing records against what the service requires, field by field, and hand you the gaps in writing. You keep that document whoever you hire next, and you can act on it without us.

Scope, exclusions and when it is worth doing

Not included in this starting price

  • Submitting on your behalf during the review
  • Legal advice on your permit
  • Fixing the gaps — that is quoted separately once you know what they are

When we would suggest something else. If your records already carry every required field, the review will say so and stop. That is a result, not a failed sale.

Fixed price from £1,495. Scope agreed in writing.

Solution 02

Compatible reporting-route integration

How do you get your waste records into the tracking service?

Rekeying every movement into another system is the obvious answer and the one that fails by week three, because it is somebody's afternoon on top of their actual job.

What we build

Where the compatible software provider you choose exposes a supported import or integration route, we connect your existing records to that named route and provide a reconciliation report showing what went and what did not. The provider, method, review point and exclusions are written into the scope. We do not submit through an unapproved Inferred endpoint.

Scope, exclusions and when it is worth doing

Not included in this starting price

  • Compatible reporting software or its subscription
  • Responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of your records
  • Any representation about your regulatory position
  • Permit variations

When we would suggest something else. If your volumes are low enough to enter by hand comfortably, do that. A bridge has to save real hours to be worth its price.

Fixed price from £1,495. Scope agreed in writing.

Solution 03

Weighbridge ticket capture

How do you get weighbridge tickets into a record you can search?

Tickets are printed, spiked, boxed and stored. Finding one later is an afternoon in a box, and the data on them never reaches anything that could use it.

What we build

Tickets are captured at source into a structured record rather than a spike file, so the same capture serves the compliance file and the day-to-day question of what came in.

Scope, exclusions and when it is worth doing

Not included in this starting price

  • Weighbridge hardware or calibration
  • Replacing your weighbridge software, unless you want that quoted
  • Retrospective capture of the boxes — quoted separately

When we would suggest something else. If your weighbridge already writes to a database you can query, you have this.

Fixed price from £1,495. Scope agreed in writing.

Solution 04

Vehicle intake and destruction records

How do you keep intake and destruction paperwork complete and findable?

Arrival paperwork is captured once on paper and then partly again in two other places. The evidence trail exists but is assembled from three sources whenever anybody asks for it.

What we build

Arrival paperwork is captured once, and your own evidence trail is kept complete and findable, so producing it is a query rather than a search. The parts side benefits from the same record: what came in on which vehicle, without asking the person who remembers.

Scope, exclusions and when it is worth doing

Not included in this starting price

  • Certificate issuance
  • Your obligations under your permit or authorisation
  • DVLA or third-party notifications

When we would suggest something else. If you are already on a system that keeps this properly, connecting to it beats replacing it, and we would rather do that.

Fixed price from £1,495. Scope agreed in writing.

Solution 05

Permit and duty-of-care pack

How do you assemble duty-of-care paperwork without a hunt?

The paperwork for a movement lives in several places, and the moment you need it assembled is the moment somebody is standing in your office asking for it.

What we build

Dated obligations are tracked, and the paperwork for any movement is gathered into one file. What the rules require is what we implement; whether you meet them is between you and your adviser.

Scope, exclusions and when it is worth doing

Not included in this starting price

  • Any statement about whether you are compliant
  • Preparing for a specific inspection
  • Waste classification decisions

When we would suggest something else. If your paperwork is already in one place and dated, leave it.

Fixed price from £1,495. Scope agreed in writing.

Before you buy

Questions from recycling, waste and vehicle dismantling businesses.

How does Inferred digitise goods-in and compliance records on a site?

Tickets, transfer notes and intake paperwork are captured once, at source, into a structured record you can search. The same capture feeds the compliance file and the day-to-day question of what is on site.

Nothing is retyped in the office from a spike of carbon copies, which is where most record gaps start.

We dismantle vehicles rather than process materials. Is this page for us?

Yes. An authorised treatment facility is a waste receiving site, so the reporting obligation applies to dismantlers as it does to materials recovery yards: from 1 October 2026 in England and Wales, and from 1 January 2027 in Scotland and Northern Ireland. That is why this page covers both.

The parts side is covered too — answering “have you got one?” across thousands of lines, donor vehicles, cores and returns, from your own data rather than three systems and somebody’s memory. Vehicle intake and destruction records are captured once and kept findable.

Can local AI manage traceability and grading records across a busy yard?

Yes — grades, movements and destinations tracked per load, with the evidence trail assembled rather than reconstructed. When a regulator or a customer asks where something went, the answer is a query rather than an afternoon.

Is our supplier and pricing data safe from AI providers?

Yes. Everything runs on your premises, on your network. Buy prices, supplier terms and customer lists are not sent anywhere and no third-party AI provider sees them.

Our site is muddy, busy and not exactly an office. Will it survive out here?

The appliance lives in a comms cabinet indoors, not on the weighbridge. What goes outside is ordinary rugged hardware chosen for the job — a tablet, a scanner, a screen — and if the honest answer is that a paper process is working fine in that particular spot, we will say so.
