A scrap and recycling dealer runs on rate enquiries, pickup requests and a steady flow of suppliers, from households to businesses. Quick rates, reliable pickups and good records decide the business. WhatsApp, on the official WhatsApp Business API, keeps it flowing. Here is how.
Where WhatsApp helps a scrap dealer
The business is rate-led and pickup-driven.
- Rate enquiries: share current rates for materials.
- Pickups: schedule collection with location and photos.
- Suppliers: keep regular households and businesses engaged.
- Records: track quantities, rates and payments.
Win the enquiry with fast rates
Suppliers compare rates and want a quick answer. Sharing current rates and receiving photos of the material in chat wins the pickup, as our response-time guide shows, and a shared inbox keeps requests organised.
Schedule pickups reliably
Capturing location, material and quantity in chat and confirming a pickup slot keeps collection smooth, and keeping each supplier in a CRM tracks quantities, rates and payments, much like our facility management guide.
Keep a reliable supply flow
Regular suppliers are the lifeblood. Occasional, opt-in rate updates and pickup reminders keep them selling to you. Keep broadcasts relevant to protect your number quality.
