Claim the offer →How it works
From the moment a vehicle hits the weighbridge to the moment the waste return lands with the regulator, nothing is retyped and nothing is lost.
Gross, tare and net weights with per-line photo evidence from yard or IP cameras, plus licence-plate lookup.
Live market pricing with A/B/C bands and margins. Tickets move through weights approval, pricing and sign-off, with value limits enforced.
Generate payments the same day, even before the customer leaves the site. Approve in bulk, produce self-bill invoices, and turn outbound loads into sales invoices with CSV export.
Weighbridge tickets, Waste Transfer Notes with EWC codes, advice notes and delivery notes, printed or stored in one click.
Completed tickets are submitted straight to DEFRA's Digital Waste Tracking service, with history and one-click resubmission.
Features
One system runs the whole yard, and every module shares the same data, so a supplier, a price, a skip or a ticket only ever exists once.
The core of Wilma: everything that happens in the yard, in one system with one login.
Gross, tare and net at the weighbridge with photo capture per material line, licence-plate lookup, grade reference examples so the right grade is bought, and a named record of who weighed, priced and signed off.
More on grading →One live price book for buying and selling: LME tracking with live market price updates, bands A/B/C with margins built in, buyers' PDF price lists imported automatically, competitor prices tracked weekly, and custom deal prices per account or load.
More on pricing →Skip and bin jobs planned on a day map with live driver GPS, a trip manager, and every container tracked by QR code with days-out counters at customer addresses for profitable rotation.
More on logistics →Live dashboards, stock reporting by product and site, CSV exports for your accounts package, DEFRA and EA waste submissions, carbon recovery figures and fraud-trend reporting: the numbers are always ready.
More on waste reporting →A scrap car buying widget for your own website, reg-lookup offers priced from your live price book, collection booked as a job, and Certificates of Destruction generated and emailed at depollution.
More on cars & ELVs →Integrated catalytic converter pricing by unit code, a QR label on every cat at purchase, and full chain of custody from weighbridge to consignment, ready for police and EA checks.
More on cats →Shape Wilma to your yard: ticket number templates, status deadlines, per-user sign-off value limits, roles and permissions, your company details on every document, plus optional modules like HR as you grow.
Scrap metal pricing
One live price book drives everything: LME prices tracked in real time, what you pay at the weighbridge, what you charge on outbound loads, and how you stack up against the yard down the road.
LME tracking & live market price updates: live London Metal Exchange prices for copper, aluminium, nickel, lead, zinc and tin streamed into your price book, so your bands move with the market instead of last week's guess.
Import your buyers' PDF price lists automatically: drop in the weekly PDF from your mill or exporter and Wilma extracts the prices and maps them to your products. No retyping, no transposition errors.
Track competitor prices: log what competitors are paying week by week and see it alongside your own bands, so you win the loads you want without overpaying for the rest.
Material in, material out, one price book: buying prices on inwards tickets and selling prices on outwards loads come from the same live source, so your margin per product and per load is always visible.
Bands, margins and history: price bands A/B/C per product with margin, haulage and processing costs built in, and a full sales-price history behind every number.

Specialist tools
Catalytic converters and end-of-life vehicles carry the most margin and the most scrutiny. Wilma gives both a dedicated workflow.
Integrated per-unit cat pricing by code, so the price on the ticket matches the unit in the cage, not a guess. Every converter gets a QR label at purchase and is tracked individually from weighbridge to consignment.

DEFRA Digital Waste Tracking
Digital waste tracking becomes mandatory in October 2026. Wilma is built against DEFRA's Digital Waste Tracking service and submits every completed movement through the Receipt of Waste API automatically, so your yard is compliant on day one, without anyone filling in a portal by hand.
Automatic DEFRA submission: the moment a ticket completes, the waste movement is submitted to the Digital Waste Tracking service. No re-keying, no missed returns.
Full submission history: every movement's status in one screen, with one-click resubmission for anything that fails, so nothing slips through.
EA waste reporting built in: Waste Transfer Notes with EWC codes and carrier licence details for every load, plus hazardous waste consignment notes where the stream requires them, all generated alongside the digital submission.
EA documents on file: ID, site permits, waste carrier licences and insurance stored against every account, plus your own site licences, ATF and PL/EL cover in settings.
Site checklists: daily site inspection lists, PPE checklists and plant inspection sheets, run daily, weekly or monthly per site with pass/fail/attention outcomes, photo-required items and printable forms.

Waste sites & site compliance
Transfer stations, skip-hire operators and mixed waste sites run on the same tickets, notes and DEFRA submissions, with the site-level compliance the EA expects.
Skips, general waste and mixed loads flow through the same inwards/outwards workflow as metal: one system for the whole operation.
Every product carries its EWC code, and it follows the material onto every ticket, Waste Transfer Note and DEFRA submission automatically.
Track how and where material is stored against your permit conditions: container registers, fire-risk flags on products, 30-day container warnings and inspection evidence per site.
Daily site inspection lists, PPE checklists and plant inspection sheets per site: photo-required items, pass/fail/attention outcomes, named assignees and printable records for your H&S file.
Metal grading & approvals
A misgraded load of copper can wipe out a week's margin. Wilma puts grade verification at the weighbridge and a named approval chain on every ticket.
Grade reference examples: every product carries reference photos and grading notes, so the person on the weighbridge can check bright wire against No.2 burnt before a price is committed.
Photo verification per line: each material line gets its own photos from yard or IP cameras, tied to the graded product and reviewable at payment and audit time.
Named approval chain: who weighed it, who priced it and who signed it off are recorded on every ticket, with separate approval steps for weights, pricing and final sign-off.
Sign-off value limits: set a maximum ticket value per user, so high-value loads always escalate to a senior approver.

Forensic intelligence
Wilma risk-scores every ticket and watches for the patterns that manual checks miss, so problems surface in a review queue, not in an audit.
Pattern detection: tickets always signed off by the same user, missing load images, unusual pricing and high-value outliers are flagged automatically, with random sampling on top.
Bank details protection & verification: supplier bank details are locked once saved. Any change goes through a controlled update, lands in the review queue, and holds payment until verified.
Review to resolution: reviewers work a risk-scored queue with photo evidence alongside, recording outcomes through to fraud escalation, with trend reporting across users and sites.
Complete audit trail: every weight, price, photo, approval and account change is stamped with a user and time, ready for the EA or your insurer.
Carbon reporting
Every tonne of recycled metal displaces virgin production. Wilma converts the material you actually processed into estimated CO₂ savings, per customer, per material, per period.
214 t
Customers see their estimated CO₂ recovery on their portal dashboard, a number they can put straight into their own ESG and tender documents.
Savings are calculated from actual weighed tonnage by material, not estimates, so the figures stand up to scrutiny.
Win contracts with customers who need to evidence recycling rates and carbon recovery in their supply chain reporting.

PaidCustomer portal
Customers get their own branded portal: year-to-date figures, estimated CO₂ savings, live £/tonne pricing and agreed deals, invoices, and the skips currently on their sites.
Logistics
Wilma joins up drivers, containers and stock so the yard, the office and the customer are all looking at the same live picture.
Plan every delivery, collection, exchange, wait & load and tip & return on a single day map. Watch drivers move in real time, group runs with the trip manager, and get overdue badges before customers notice.
A full asset register with QR codes on every container, a map of which customer address each one sits at, and the number of days it's been out, with 30+ day warnings and GPS tracker overlays for the ones that wander. Slow bins get flagged for exchange or collection, so your fleet rotates profitably instead of sitting idle.
On-hand stock by product and site with estimated value, adjustments with a paper trail, and a dashboard view of what came in, what went out and what's sitting in the yard.
Optional HR module
An optional add-on that keeps the whole team in the same system: no separate HR platform, no paper timesheets in the cabin.
Clocking in & out: staff clock in from a phone or the yard tablet, and timesheets build themselves from real clock data. No re-keying hours on a Friday.
Absence, lateness & sickness tracking: holidays, absences and late starts logged against each person, with patterns flagged automatically, including frequent sick days around weekends.
1-1s & training records: schedule and record one-to-ones, and keep training and certification records (plant tickets, first aid, manual handling) with expiry reminders.
Payroll-ready timesheets: approved hours, overtime and absence export cleanly at the end of the period.

The platform
Wilma runs entirely in the cloud and works wherever your people are: the weighbridge PC, a tablet in the yard, or a driver's phone in the cab, with real people supporting you from day one. It scales both ways too: a one-van collector gets the same tools as a multi-site group, and you only pay for what you use.
Works on the weighbridge desktop, a yard tablet or your phone, with push notifications the moment a new weigh-in lands, a customer payment goes out, or a ticket is waiting on your sign-off.
Message any member of staff, a team or the whole yard inside Wilma, tied to the tickets and jobs you're talking about. Work chat stays in the system, not in group chats on personal phones.
Real people from onboarding onwards: setup, data import, weighbridge integration, staff training and day-to-day support. You're never left working it out from a help article.
Nothing to host, patch or maintain on site. Scales with your busiest Saturday morning and updates itself.
Every ticket, photo and document backed up continuously. A stolen laptop or a flooded office loses you nothing.
Single sign-on with roles and per-user permissions, encrypted in transit and at rest, with a full audit trail underneath.
Founding yard offer
Yards that join before October 2026 get free onboarding, data import from your current system, and help registering for Digital Waste Tracking.
