The team behind ScrapRight, a cloud-based platform with more than 20 years in the recycling software business, has launched PalletRight, a system designed specifically for pallet recyclers rather than adapted from generic scrap or inventory software.
According to the company, the difference comes down to fit. Where general-purpose business software forces pallet recyclers to bend their operations around someone else’s workflow, PalletRight is built around how a pallet yard actually runs, from the moment a load pulls in the gate to the minute the books close.
Buying by the Load, the Unit or Anything In Between
PalletRight’s purchasing module is built to handle the range of ways yards buy material, whether that is a full trailer load of GMA Grade A pallets or a live load of mixed, broken wood. Every grade and material type is configurable, including Heat-Treated, Block, Combo, Broken and raw lumber, and each ticket calculates cost automatically and prints an instant receipt at the counter. The system also captures a full supplier record with every transaction, so nothing has to be re-entered or reconstructed later.
Inventory Built for What Pallet Yards Actually Stock
Rather than treating everything as a single generic inventory line, PalletRight separates recycled pallets, new pallets, raw lumber, nails, and repair supplies into their own categories, each with an individual item profile, quantity threshold and cost basis. Yard managers can set minimum stock levels for any grade and get ahead of shortages before they happen. Inbound and outbound movement is tracked by grade, and landed cost and real-time margin follow material all the way from purchase to sale, with outbound shipping and sales tracked to prevent overselling.
System That Turns History into Leverage and Tracks the Outcome for Scrap Material
Every supplier who brings material through the gate gets a complete profile in PalletRight, including transaction history, preferred grades, volume patterns and pricing paid over time. That history is meant to do more than sit in a file. Recyclers can use it to spot pricing trends, set custom per-supplier rates and identify their top sources at a glance, turning purchasing data into a negotiating tool for the next load that comes in.
Not every broken pallet is a loss, and PalletRight’s Regrade feature is built to track exactly where scrap-grade material goes next. Whether it is shredded into mulch or wood chips, stripped down to raw lumber, or rebuilt into a repaired, sellable grade, the transformation is logged and inventory updates automatically on both ends of the transaction. The system also records yield for every regrade, including units rebuilt, boards recovered or material output, creating a full audit trail for reporting and yard accountability.
One Platform, Family-Owned Roots
PalletRight is offered as a cloud-based platform with dedicated phone support, and the company describes itself as family-owned and operated with more than two decades in the recycling industry through ScrapRight. The pitch to pallet recyclers is straightforward: buy pallets by grade, track every unit through the yard, stay on top of customers, and close the books fast all from one system built for this industry rather than retrofitted for it.
