Revolutionize Your Inventory Management with ROM
Inventory control in a recycling industry is an active sport. There are so many moving parts and different things that can happen that keeping track of it all can be an overwhelming task. With years of refinement, ROM offers a unique and powerful inventory management system that accurately values your inventory under just about any circumstance you can throw at it.
Production Control
Whether you are running a car shredder, wire chopper or other piece of machinery, ROM scrap metal inventory management software provides a
powerful system for entering production data and properly calculating costs for the items produced. Handling concepts like shrinkage, revaluing fluff, landfill fees, adding cost for the machinery or specific pricing for nonferrous out of the shredder, ROM will accurately calculate the true value of the material produced.
Material Adjustments
Inventory adjustments come with the territory. No matter how accurate you think you may be, we understand that adjustments will happen. Whether you are upgrading. downgrading, or processing shrinkage, ROM will track it and accurately factor it into your cost.
Physical Inventories
Doing physical inventories has never been easier. After scanning all the tags you can find with the mobile phone app, the system will report on what you found, and more importantly what you did not find. A quick look at the information and you will find items that were shipped or processed, but still in inventory.
Brokerage
Long gone are the days of watching brokered loads entered into inventory and then taken directly out. When looking at order positions, you can easily include or exclude brokerage with physical inventory.
Inventory Costing
ROM’s proprietary “Re-costing” system is unique to the recycling industry and the only method for calculating inventory that works for this business. Factoring from your beginning inventory value, ROM adds all inbound activity, both across the scale and through yard processing and generates a fully accurate average price that is then applied to everything outbound. In addition, industry specific concepts like automatic shrinkage deductions for ferrous materials, inbound freight expenses and whether material is bought at the mixed level or as sorted, are added into the calculations. Most of all, it understands that we are all human and gracefully handle the many changes that come at month end while still allowing your business to process new transactions going forward.

How ROM Made us Millions
When we started with ROM, we had two facilities. By the time we sold the business we had 9 facilities across the globe, all using ROM. The system made management easy and with ROM’s inventory control, we always knew what we had in the pipeline or ready for sale.
Our 18-Year Journey with ROM
My company has been using 21st Century's ROM software for the past 18 years, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional.
From the outset, 21st Century has provided us with a robust and reliable system that has seamlessly integrated into our operations. Furthermore, Phillip Rafle and the 21st Century team have always been just a phone call away. Their readiness to assist with any questions or issues and their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that our needs are met promptly and professionally is both rare and something we deeply appreciate.

Why did you choose to work with ROM initially?
We decided to choose ROM because it was one of the most complete, out of the box solutions for the scrap business. The price point was about a quarter of what custom programming an inventory system would be, and we liked the fact that it was slightly programmable. The customizable reports were the final carrot that led us to choose ROM.
Why I switched to ROM
When I met the folks from 21st Century Programming, I was immediately impressed. They had hands-on scrap experience, a strong support staff and a technical staff that was easy to work with. I was amazed at the progress their software had made and realized that, while our old software had remained stagnant, they had up-to-date solutions for our current operations.

What can you expect when you buy the software?
Within 60 days we had a fully functional system in place with on-site training, on-line training (ROM University), network coordination with our IT staff and all the required hardware. In retrospect, we should have chosen ROM from the start. ROM software simply had the benefit of having invested the time and money to provide a mature, robust platform with predictable outcomes.

How does 21CP help your business?
A lot of people (myself included) are quick to give out criticism or complain, but are slower to give out praise.
I wanted to make sure to NOT do that in this instance; as the level of professionalism, knowledge, and expertise Fernando displayed while working with us was top-tier and very much warrants praise. Thanks again for making this possible for us, and a huge thank you to Fernando for doing it.We are already seeing benefits from his time here.

FINISHED GOODS TRACKING
In 1999, we pioneered the use of barcodes for tracking recycling inventory. With a simple glance you
know that you have 30,000 pounds of material of a certain grade, but only 15,000 pounds of it is processed.
Using our mobile app, your finished goods inventory is as good as gold. And if you ever question it, a
quick physical inventory using the mobile app will clear everything up in no time.
No other system out there handles your finished goods like ROM, recycling software with barcode scanning.
