For sorting, material and quality analyses

Sorting analyses that document themselves.

Weights, piece counts, characteristics, photos and measured values: SORQA collects quantitative and qualitative data right at the sample, on phone or tablet, with a connected scale and camera. The result is complete documentation, without paper notes and without retyping.

Your benefits

Less effort. More overview. Better data.

A sorting analysis is only as good as its documentation. SORQA makes sure nothing is missing, nothing is recorded twice and every value has evidence.

Everything in one place

Weights, counts, photos and times go straight into one set of documentation. Not into piles of notes, chats and spreadsheets.

Always in the picture

A traffic light per order shows what is done, what is running and where things are stuck. No chasing, no ring-rounds.

Analysis without rework

Errors are spotted while entering, not later in the office. The export is complete and can be used straight away.

Evidence at the push of a button

Who recorded what and when? With change history and photo evidence you answer questions from clients and auditors in minutes.

What would this look like with your material? We will show you in 30 minutes on screen, free of charge and with no obligation.

Choose a time Ask a question

A day in the hall, then and now

Morning: preparing orders

Before

Print the list, label containers by hand, hand out notes.

With SORQA

Import the order list, print labels with QR codes, done.

At the container: weighing and counting

Before

Jot down numbers, take a photo with a private phone, type it all up in the office in the evening.

With SORQA

Enter the number, take the photo in the app. Saved, checked and assigned to the right order.

Evening: status and analysis

Before

Chase people, merge lists, hunt for gaps.

With SORQA

Check the traffic lights, fill in what is missing, export with one click.

How you work with it

Simple enough for the hall

Big buttons, little text, every step at a glance. Designed sample views, without real customer data.

Weighing with photo, by hand or digitally

Gross, intermediate and tare weight in a fixed order, each with a photo and info bar. Unusual values (for example a missing decimal point) are queried before saving.

What this gives you: verifiable weights, even weeks later. A connected scale sends the weight straight into the field, without retyping. The connection is being trialled; further scales on request.

Animated sample view: the gross weight is typed in, a photo is saved, the intermediate weight comes from the scale. — Sample view, no real data

Target and actual at a glance

Every order shows its status as a traffic light, every project its progress. A plausibility check warns when the total and net weight do not match.

What this gives you: management spots bottlenecks immediately and can react while there is still time.

Animated sample view: samples change from open to in progress to done; one reports a problem that gets solved. — Sample view, no real data

Labels and QR codes from the app

You print labels and order sheets for samples, containers and fractions directly from the app. A scan with the phone opens the right entry immediately.

What this gives you: no searching through lists and no mixed-up containers, even with gloves on and in a crowded hall.

Animated sample view: a label sheet is printed, the phone scans a QR code and opens the right sample. — Sample view, no real data

Export with completeness check

Before exporting, the app checks whether weighings, photos and counts are complete and shows what is still missing. Then an Excel file, with all photos if you like.

What this gives you: analysis and audit without rework, because gaps are noticed while the sample is still in the hall.

Animated sample view: the app checks all details before exporting, a gap is filled, then the Excel file is created. — Sample view, no real data

Features

Everything a sorting analysis needs

Included as standard and ready to use.

Recording

Quantities, piece counts, characteristics and measured values via number pad, scale or dictation, every entry with time and person.

Checking characteristics

Count spot samples per fraction by characteristic class, with photo evidence. The app keeps count.

Logistics

Receipt, release and buffer storage per container, clearly organised.

Scheduling and costs

Shift plan, remaining effort and suggested plan. The costing learns from actual working time.

Works offline too

Entries are kept and sent as soon as the connection is back.

Projects and clients

Your own clients, your own selection per project, visibility only for selected people.

Notifications

Report problems on an order. Whoever is responsible gets the notification on their phone.

Data export

Excel file, with all photos if you like. The app checks beforehand whether anything is missing.

More than weighing

Collect data where the sample is

SORQA records quantitative values and qualitative characteristics in one workflow, with evidence. You decide what samples, containers, classes and characteristics are called in your company.

Weight, also straight from the scale
Piece counts and shares
Characteristics, classes and condition
Photo as evidence
Other measured values, e.g. moisture or temperature

Waste and recyclables analyses

Composition of commercial, municipal and packaging waste per container: shares, impurities and purity.

Take-back and producer responsibility

Count and weigh old appliances, lamps or batteries by type, age and condition, with evidence for every batch.

Goods receipt and quality control

Spot-check deliveries: weight, foreign matter, condition and photo, with a traffic light for acceptance or complaint.

Secondary raw materials and refuse-derived fuels

Sample batches, record grain size and impurities, store measured values with the weight and photo of the batch.

Textiles, wood and construction waste

Sorting by quality and recovery route, shares per collection or construction site, photos for every class.

Your analysis

Something completely different, even outside the waste industry? We set up samples, characteristics and measured values for your task.

The examples show what can be set up. The scale connection is being trialled; we add further measuring devices and measured values on request.

Customisation and interfaces

The app adapts to you, not the other way round

Ready to use as standard. All terms can be changed for your company; we implement your own processes, features and interfaces on request.

Your own terms

“Sample” becomes “batch”, “fraction” becomes “sorting class”. Nobody has to translate another project's jargon.

Your own workflows

Additional approvals, check steps or mandatory photos, in your order.

Your own labels

Labels and routing slips with your logo, your fields and your sheet format.

Connecting scales

Your existing scale sends the weight straight into the weighing.

Your own reports

Key figures and reports in the format your clients or auditors want to see.

Multiple sites

Your own selection of locations, containers and fractions per project and client.

Evidence and audits

Audit-ready documentation

The app provides traceable documentation as a basis for audits and management systems, for example under ISO 14001 or ISO 9001.

Change history

Who changed what and when, with old and new value.

Roles

Sorter, sorting supervisor, scheduler and guest: each role sees and may do only what it needs.

Backed up daily

The database is backed up automatically every day; the most recent backups are kept.

Time tracking is optional

Recording your own working time is optional. The privacy notice explains what is stored and why.

Your data, your access
