Your truck scale acts as a cash register for your business. When it is not operating at full potential – you are not maximizing your profit potential.
 |
Trucks are in and out of your operation all day long. The more customers that you are able to service, the more profitable your business becomes. When traffic is backed up, or your scale house is shut down for the night or weekend – you are not getting the full potential from your scale.
Truck traffic
A busy business is good business – but increased traffic can lead to long lines, frustrated drivers and an overwhelmed scale house attendant. Many operations run on outdated data management systems or even simple handwritten tickets. These methods can slow down the transaction process, causing traffic to back up. In the competitive raw materials industry, a driver could opt to skip the line and do business with another company near by. With DataBridge™ software management system and unattended terminals from METTLER TOLEDO, the transaction process can be streamlined.
Options such as stored tare weight help to speed up the check-in process and a simple interface allows for just a few clicks to complete an entire transaction. Reporting, security and connectivity are additional benefits on top of improved traffic control.
Scale house hours
Do you know how often a customer arrives to do business at your facility, only to find out that you have closed for the day? Staffing a scale house around the clock is not possible for most operations. But why shut down your business at night or on the weekend when you could continue to operate and turn a profit?
With unattended solutions from METTLER TOLEDO, you can keep the traffic and profits flowing even after the scale house shuts down. Options such as gates and loops can be integrated with unattended terminals to ensure proper truck placement and deter cheating. Integrating DataBridge™ brings countless benefits and owner insight into transactions being made on the scale. Unattended terminals are also great for businesses in remote locations, where it can be difficult to staff a scale house. With the ability to process more traffic during the day and into the night, unattended solutions from METTLER TOLEDO will provide you with a speedy return on investment.
