ERP for waste and recycling is a single system that links weighbridge activity, haulage, pricing, purchasing, invoicing, and finance so the business runs off one set of records. Herbst positions this as a fully integrated solution with modules for weighbridge management, haulage, mapping (GIS), and site pricing, alongside core ledgers and dashboards for real-time visibility. The goal is fewer manual steps, less paperwork, and tighter control from “gate to invoice”.

The weighbridge sits at the operational centre. Herbst’s approach is to keep weighbridge transactions tied to the rest of the ERP, so weight documents, charges, and customer accounts flow cleanly into billing and reporting. This reduces rekeying and helps management see what’s happening in real time, rather than waiting for end-of-day paperwork.

Yes. The Traceability module is designed for end-to-end batch tracking across the product lifecycle, supporting attributes like batch numbers and expiry/inspection dates. It includes FIFO allocation, batch recall reports/letters, goods-in control points, and the ability to manage stock by batch—even down to multiple batch numbers at document line level.

Herbst states that automated County Council and EPA reporting significantly reduces paperwork while helping ensure compliance with minimal manual effort. The benefit is twofold: less admin time for staff, and better management visibility because reporting is backed by live operational data rather than spreadsheets compiled at month-end.

Yes. The Stock & Service Ledger is integrated with sales and purchase ledgers to support real-time inventory procedures. It includes tools like multiple units of measure, re-ordering and stock take, picking lists, “free vs actual” visibility, and support for kits/BOM/assembly—plus touchscreen kiosk software for warehouse use.

Procurement Wizard is a guided tool that automates key purchasing tasks such as creating purchase quotations, replenishing stock, and generating purchase orders. It’s positioned as a way to standardise purchasing using existing data, with access to historical activity, supplier account management, authorisation controls, and integration with stock and sales ledgers—reducing stockouts/overstocking risk.

Credit Control is described as proactively integrated with operations, starting validations at order stage and supporting controls like restricting dispatch for overdue accounts, credit pop-ups, flexible constraints, and automated debtor correspondence (including SMS). For waste and recycling, this helps prevent avoidable exposure while keeping day-to-day workflows moving.

Herbst includes a touch-friendly, customisable User Dashboard so each role can see relevant KPIs and operational data at a glance. It also highlights real-time reporting benefits like grid views/pivot mode, budgets/targets with business intelligence, and “up-to-the-minute status” across the business to support faster decisions.

Yes. The GIS Mapping module is described as fully integrated with real-time data, letting you store coordinates for customers/traders (and at document level for deliveries), view customers with outstanding orders, and analyse patterns by area. This is useful for planning service coverage, improving delivery efficiency, and spotting commercial opportunities geographically.

Herbst includes a Manufacturing module focused on planning, costing, and BOM, with integration to touchscreen production kiosks for real-time monitoring and data entry. If you run processes where inputs are transformed (sorting, processing, repackaging), these controls can help tighten cost visibility, inventory discipline, and quality/standards maintenance.
