Loadman teams with Soft-Pak on weighing system

Creative Microsystems Inc., the developer of the LoadMan weighing system, and Soft-Pak, a software solution provider for the waste and recycling industry, have announced a technology partnership and integration. The two companies say the partnership will provide their mutual customers with a comprehensive solution delivering accurate, real-time customer, load and route data to the driver and back-office instantly.

“We’re very pleased to partner with Soft-Pak to deliver an integrated solution to our joint customers,” says Larry Santi, president of Creative Microsystems Inc. “Having accurate and reliable data is critical to the success of haulers in managing their businesses, and the combination of LoadMan scales with the Soft-Pak on-board computer (OBC) and fleet management software is a powerful solution.”

LoadMan on-board truck scales are simple to install on the full range of refuse trucks and work seamlessly with Soft-Pak’s Mobile-Pak OBC. Patented weigh-in-motion technology from LoadMan accurately weighs each load, net vehicle weight along with a date and time stamp. Mobile-Pak receives the information and makes it available to drivers and customer service representatives who use the Soft-Pak software.   

“We rely on the LoadMan/Soft-Pak system to accurately and reliably weigh loads and provide the necessary data our customers require to measure waste diversion,” says Michael Allgeier, director of information technology at Texas Disposal Systems. “From an IT perspective, LoadMan and Soft-Pak work together seamlessly, the installation is simple and maintenance is low. We’re very pleased with this solution that works as it should, and when we do need support LoadMan is very responsive and partners in our success.”

“We’re delighted to partner with LoadMan on-board scales to complement Soft-Pak’s on-board computer solution,” says Brian Porter, president of Soft-Pak. “Customers are requesting more access to data, and the delivery of that data is automated and easily accessible. We are excited about how well our product has been received and the partnership opportunities this allows for.”
