ScrapJi

India’s scrap trade runs on opaque pricing, manual weighing and cash settlements, which is exactly why households distrust it. ScrapJi set out to formalise it: transparent published rates, digital weighing, instant payment and verified recycling with measurable environmental impact. Doing that at scale required software that coordinates a customer, a field agent, a vehicle, a price list and a payment in real time, while remaining simple enough for a first-time user to schedule a pickup in under a minute, and light enough to work on a low-end phone with a weak connection.

1. 01

   Built a web-based mobile application so customers can schedule a pickup instantly with no app download, critical for adoption in a mass-market category.

2. 02

   Implemented a transparent, category-wise rate engine covering 40+ recyclable scrap categories with rates published to the customer before pickup.

3. 03

   Delivered pickup scheduling with locality and pincode-based serviceability, slot selection and address management.

4. 04

   Built the field-agent flow: assigned pickups, route context, digital weighing capture and on-the-spot order confirmation.

5. 05

   Engineered instant settlement so the customer is paid at the doorstep, with digital records replacing cash ambiguity.

6. 06

   Delivered real-time order tracking and status updates across scheduled, assigned, in-transit, completed and settled states.

7. 07

   Built the sustainability impact engine: waste recycled, CO₂ avoided, trees saved and landfill diverted, aggregated live for public display and aligned to UN Sustainable Development Goals.

8. 08

   Created the admin control panel for pricing, service areas, agent and vehicle assignment, order oversight and operational reporting.

9. 09

   Extended the platform to support the client’s B2B service lines including EPR compliance reporting, material recovery operations, vehicle scrapping and CSR programmes.

Every layer designed, built and operated for this system to run in production.
