Where DhartiQ fits, and where it does not.
Most plants use one of three things today. Each has strengths.
01 · Side by side
| DhartiQ | Desktop recycling ERP | Spreadsheets and registers | Global scrap software | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main job | Load records and government returns | Accounts, inventory, sales | Whatever you build | Yard operations and trading |
| At the pickup point | Phone app with offline queue | Usually office-only | Paper slips | Varies by vendor |
| Indian CPCB / SPCB forms | Built around them | Varies by vendor | Made by hand | Generally not the focus |
| Accounting | Stays in Tally (export) | Built in | Separate | Built in or integrated |
| Pricing | Monthly, in rupees | Often a one-time licence | Free, but staff time | Often in US dollars |
| Tamper-evident records | Coming soon | Varies | No | Varies |
Category descriptions are general. Individual products differ; check with each vendor.
02 · Choosing
Choose DhartiQ if
Your pain is proving where material came from and went, your returns take days to assemble, or you want field staff recording at the source.
Keep your ERP if
You mainly need billing, GST and stock valuation and your records are already traceable load by load. You can also run both.
Marketplaces are partners
If you buy or sell through a recyclables marketplace, DhartiQ starts the record when the load reaches your gate.
