Salvage
Operations

Better enable your workforce with automation tools for more intelligent bidding, better yard and inventory management, and automated pricing across your SKUs.

The salvage cycle

One closed loop.

One vehicle, end to end. Bidding AI helps price the bid and calculates estimated margin, VIN-decoded into standardized part numbers, stripped of every part that clears the labor bar, dynamically priced, then routed to the channels that pay most and reconciled against the buy. The margin it returns funds the next bid ceiling.

01Source

Vehicle sourcing

Part-level pricing sets the bid ceiling before you buy, allowing you to configure bids for specific components and target margins.

02Standardize

VIN decode & interchange

Scanning the VIN returns a breakdown of installed parts, in your part numbering standard, so you and your customers know exactly what is available and how it fits other vehicles.

03Teardown

Dismantling process

Every part is valued against the labor to pull it, so the teardown list is ordered with the parts that clear that bar coming off first.

04Route

Sales channel optimization & reconciliation

Parts are dynamically priced, routed to the channel that pays most, and listed automatically. What the lot returns is reconciled against the buy for per-car margin.

What it solves

Every car bought on the numbers.

Problem 0101

Bids are set on gut feel, not part value

Buyers price a lot on experience and a scrap estimate. Overpay and the car never returns its cost; underbid and the competition takes the good vehicles.

Solution

A part-level bid ceiling before you buy

Every ceiling is built from what each component on that VIN actually sells for in your channels, at your target margin.

Problem 0202

Comprehensive cataloging takes time, and fitment still slips

Booking a stripped vehicle into inventory is manual work: every part looked up, cross-referenced and typed in one at a time. The same component carries a different number from the OE, the aftermarket and each supplier, so fitment gets recorded against the wrong vehicles and parts are sold that never fitted.

Solution

VIN decode books the whole vehicle in at once

Every part is matched to a standardized number with fitment and interchange attached, so cataloguing takes minutes and what fits is exact.

Problem 0303

Teardown labor is spent on the wrong parts

Dismantlers pull what is easy to reach. Hours go into components worth less than the time taken, while other high-value parts remain in the car and get melted for scrap.

Solution

Every part is valued against the labor to pull it

The teardown list is ordered by return, and anything below the threshold goes with the scrap weight.
