ClearWeigh Deployment
The right fit for any site, anywhere
Whether your site has fast fibre or no connectivity at all, ClearWeigh has a deployment option built for it — cloud, hybrid or standalone tablet. Same software, same features, same support.
Pick the option that fits your infrastructure
ClearWeigh is the only weighbridge management platform that runs across cloud, hybrid and fully offline environments, with no feature trade-offs between them.
ClearWeigh Cloud
Hosted on Microsoft infrastructure. No servers. No IT overhead.
ClearWeigh Cloud puts everything in the cloud — transaction processing, reporting, user management and backups, all hosted on Microsoft's enterprise infrastructure. Your team can access it from any device via CW Access.
No on-site servers required — eliminates hardware procurement, maintenance and replacement costs.
Automatic backups — data is backed up continuously with no manual intervention.
CW Access — web portal gives managers and staff access from the office, home or mobile.
Scales to multiple sites — add new sites instantly without additional infrastructure.
Best suited for:
Councils & multi-site operators
Centralised reporting across all sites. No local servers to manage at each location. IT team stays lean.
Sites with reliable internet
5+ Mbps connection recommended. Cloud performs best where connectivity is consistent — metropolitan sites, industrial estates.
Operators prioritising security & compliance
Enterprise-grade security, SSL encryption and role-based access. Audit logs retained and accessible from anywhere.
New installations
Fastest path to go-live. No server procurement or configuration required — ClearWeigh Cloud is ready immediately.
How hybrid sync works:
The local database is always the source of truth for the weighbridge. Cloud sync runs silently in the background — when connectivity drops, transactions continue uninterrupted and sync automatically when it returns.
Hybrid Deployment
Full speed at the gate. Full visibility in the cloud.
Hybrid is the preferred option for high-volume waste and landfill sites where every second of downtime costs money. The local database guarantees sub-second transaction processing regardless of internet quality.
Zero transaction latency — the local database handles every weighing at LAN speed, not internet speed.
Survives internet outages — a dropped connection never stops the queue at the gate.
Cloud reporting stays current — management dashboards and CW Access reflect live data as fast as the connection allows.
Multi-site replication — records from multiple locations replicate to a central cloud database for unified reporting.
Ideal for landfill, quarry and waste transfer — purpose-built for sites with variable or intermittent connectivity.
ClearWeigh TS
A complete weighbridge system on a single tablet
ClearWeigh TS is a purpose-built Windows tablet application for rural and remote transfer stations — sites that need full weighbridge software capability without the infrastructure of a permanent installation.
Offline capable — transactions continue with no internet. Syncs automatically when connectivity returns.
Multi-site on one tablet — a single tablet switches between multiple sites — ideal for council operators with staggered rosters.
Built-in peripherals — 10.1" tablet with built-in camera, Wi-Fi, receipt printer support and EFTPOS integration.
Rugged hardware — IP54-rated, drop-tested to 1.2m with a docking station for permanent desk installations.
Full ClearWeigh feature set — same transactions, pricing, RFID, EPA reporting and audit logging as the full desktop version.
Remote management — updates, configuration changes and support delivered remotely — no site visit required.
No feature compromise between deployment options
Same software. Same support. Whatever your infrastructure.
Whether cloud, hybrid or tablet-based, every ClearWeigh deployment runs the same core platform with the same 12 features, the same EPA reporting and the same in-house NWS support team.
Which option is right for your site?
All three options run the same ClearWeigh software. The differences are in infrastructure requirements and connectivity behaviour, not in capability.
