| General ERP / accounting (the company backbone) | Logo (Tiger/GO, j-Platform), Mikro (Fly/Jump), Logo Netsis 3/Wings, DİA, ETA; SAP at larger scale — plus plenty of ministry portals + Excel on the bookkeeping side | Provides receivables, e-invoice/e-delivery note, stock, purchasing-sales, general ledger and the GEKAP/VAT declaration infrastructure; this backbone is fixed. But it is not sector-specific: weighbridge weighing, lot genealogy, granule quality and processes such as MoTAT/KDS are not covered by design, and these gaps are patched with separate bolt-on solutions. |
| Weighbridge / weighing automation (the heart of the sector) | Ministry-approved, internet-connected, remotely accessible weighbridge programs: OnlineKantar, Kuzey Kantar, Esit weighbridge software, VGM Kantar, DBA Kantar; local weighbridge service firms' own programs | Strong for gross-tare-net weighing on truck scales, plate/person records, indicator (load cell) integration and SQL-based remote monitoring; a remotely accessible weighbridge program is already mandatory at licensed facilities. The bottleneck: at most facilities weighing is not integrated in real time with accounting/stock, and data is still carried by hand from the weighbridge to the ERP and the ministry portals. |
| Sector-specific scrap/recycling ERP add-ons | Armix ERP (HG Yazılım) — a Logo-integrated metal/scrap recycling module; beyond that, mostly custom weighbridge+stock+production integrations built by Logo/Mikro solution partners | Solutions like Armix handle weighbridge integration, gross-net automation, mobile field records and invoice/delivery note transfer into Logo. But there is no sector-standard vertical ERP; the market is dominated by semi-custom solutions adapted by resellers/integrators, which breeds fragile, integrator-dependent structures. |
| Regulatory / waste traceability portals (mandatory, external systems) | The Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change's Integrated Environmental Information System (EÇBS): TABS (waste declaration), MoTAT (mobile hazardous waste tracking), KDS (mass balance system), SAYS (zero waste information system); GEKAP via GİB e-Declaration | Mandatory online tracking from waste generation to recovery/disposal; vehicle tracking in MoTAT, in-out mass balance in KDS, quarterly declarations for GEKAP. These are government portals and are not fed by API from the company ERP; in practice they run on manual, duplicated data entry, and the KDS mass balance is forced to add up by hand. |
| Hazardous waste transport / vehicle-fleet tracking (the MoTAT ecosystem) | Seyir Mobil, Arvento, Mobiliz, ATC Araç Takip and similar UTTS/GPS providers' MoTAT-compliant devices + software | Runs on a hardware + SaaS model for live GPS, loading-unloading tracking and data flow into MoTAT on hazardous waste vehicles. The focus is transport compliance; in most places it is not integrated with the facility's own lot and mass balance traceability, or with production and dispatch data. |
| Laboratory / quality control (granule-regrind) | Mostly no dedicated LIMS; the instrument's own software (MFI/melt flow index testers, density balances) + Excel/paper. On the RPET/textile side, external certification documentation from Kiwa, IFC, TSI and similar for GRS/RCS/OCS traceability | MFI (melt flow index), density, moisture and colour are measured per batch and recorded manually. LIMS such as LabWare or Thermo SampleManager is rare in this sector; granule/regrind batch quality data is not linked to the ERP, shipments or certification files, and the quality certificate is prepared by hand. |
| Production line / machine automation (PLC-SCADA) | PLC (Siemens etc.) on crushing-washing-extrusion lines, Modbus/Profibus protocols, optical sorting/MRF systems (eddy current, magnets, optical recognition), machine builders' (T-Max, GDS Teknoloji etc.) control interfaces | Functional for conveyor, optical sorting and extruder control, and for capturing batch quantity/quality data from the machine. But automation stays at machine level; an MES/production tracking layer and a data bridge to the ERP are missing at most facilities, so shift efficiency and loss per tonne stay invisible. |
