Nexus was written in 2009 originally as a one-off project for a recycling client in Fort Myers, Florida. The client couldn't find a suitable recycling software and asked us to step in and make the decision for him. After interviewing nearly every major recycling system at the time, we gave him our answer: "don't buy any of them".

Our explanation was simple: "Would you get surgery from someone who wasn't a doctor?"; because nearly every platform in the scrap industry is just that -- software, owned and operated by people who don't know how to write or design software and have never written a single line of code in their lives.

Most of the other recycling systems, both then, and now, have been proven time and time again to be slow, unreliable and expensive.

Nexus pioneered many of the features most systems have today and as of 2018 is the first and only recycling software with artificial intelligence / automated scale systems which require no human intervention or operation. After successfully being developed alongside, and utilized by the City of Los Angeles for their waste and refuse vehicles since 2018, Nexus now contains a miniaturized version of their AI software free for all Nexus customers.
