Case Study: ScrapBays modernises scrap metal trading with a marketplace app from Sonin

ScrapBays builds a national scrap marketplace with Sonin for 1,500+ UK yards

ScrapBays, an established scrap metal merchant, approached the vendor Sonin with a vision to revolutionize their industry through a digital marketplace app. Their challenge was to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that would connect buyers and sellers, a task made difficult by the industry's complex regulations and a history of failed digital solutions that didn't understand its unique needs.

Sonin developed a comprehensive app featuring an auction marketplace, seamless in-app transactions via Stripe, and instant messaging through Twilio. The solution modernized scrap metal trading, transforming ScrapBays from a local merchant into a national platform. The result is a streamlined and efficient app for iOS, Android, and desktop that is gaining significant traction and setting a new digital standard for the £10 billion industry.
