Truck scale management system and method

Non-transitory computer-readable media comprising program code that when executed by a programmable processor causes execution of a method for managing truck scale systems, the computer-readable media comprising:

• computer program code for connecting to a truck scale system through a communication interface via a virtual scale, the virtual scale comprising a data connection to a physical truck scale in the truck scale system and including attributes of the physical truck scale, the virtual scale being one of a plurality of virtual scales and being automatically selected based on location data on a client device;
• computer program code for retrieving a given virtual kiosk associated with the virtual scale from a database, the given virtual kiosk communicatively accessible from a client device and including one or more customizable functionalities and workflows that interact with the truck scale system, the given virtual kiosk being one of a plurality of virtual kiosks having different functionalities associated with the virtual scale and selected based on a functionality needed by and authorization provided by the client device;
• and
• computer program code for facilitating communication between the client device and the truck scale system via the given virtual kiosk.
