Trusted By MRF Directors, Metal Recyclers & Waste Management Leaders
"We process over 450 tons daily of municipal single-stream recycling. Reconciling scale tickets from 60+ haulers and matching paper mill settlements was a full-time nightmare. Our Sagedoer VA catches tare weight discrepancies and moisture penalty errors weekly, saving us thousands before payments go out."
"In the scrap metal business, ISRI specification grading, catalytic converter anti-theft compliance logs, and carrier dispatching eat up the whole afternoon. Having a dedicated VA in ScrapIT handling weight tickets, freight BOLs, and container export manifests at $6/hr with a dedicated project manager is unbelievable."
"Our baled HDPE and post-consumer PET wash facility requires strict batch lot traceability and baler PM tracking. Our VA manages our work orders in MaintainX, tracks daily bale inventories, and compiles EPA Title V environmental logs without me having to micromanage anything."
"R2v3 and e-Stewards compliance requires serialized chain-of-custody tracking from intake to downstream smelter. Sagedoer's virtual assistant logs all downstream asset disposition certificates and keeps our scale house ticketing audit-ready 100% of the time."
