Scale readings turned into dashboards a composting business can actually use.
Barr-Tech runs a large composting facility near Sprague, taking in organic material and shipping finished compost across Eastern Washington. We built them a custom system, Yard Intelligence, that connects to their scale and turns raw weigh-ins into clear dashboards, so the team can see who received how much compost, track what comes in and goes out, and reconcile it all with accounting.
The challenge
Barr-Tech operates a large composting facility outside Sprague, processing hundreds of tons of organic material a day into finished compost for farms across the region. The numbers that mattered most, what crossed the scale, were hard to see and harder to make sense of. The team needed a clear way to track feedstock coming in, compost going out, and how all of it lined up with the books.
What we did
Connected to the scale
We built a custom system, Yard Intelligence, that connects directly to their scale, so every weigh-in flows in automatically instead of being written down and keyed in by hand.
Dashboards that make the numbers clear
We turned that raw data into clean, easy-to-read dashboards. Building custom dashboards, and the integrations that feed them, is some of our favorite work.
See every client and every load
Now the sales manager can see which client received how much compost, and the team can track both the material coming in and the finished compost going out.
Numbers that line up with the books
The data reconciles cleanly with accounting, so what gets measured matches what gets billed.
More connections on the way
Next we’re connecting the system to their customer records, so the same information reaches the rest of their tools.
The result
- Scale data captured automatically, not by hand.
- Clear dashboards showing feedstock in and compost out.
- Visibility into which client received how much compost.
- Numbers that reconcile cleanly with accounting.
- A connection to their customer records in progress.
