Industry statistics from the European Commission and Eurostat (Directive 2000/53/EC; end-of-life vehicle reporting, 2019). Sustain360 / Dismanto-specific figures are labelled separately.

Platform

Nine modules, one continuous record

Every module is anchored to the same VIN. Data flows from intake to audit-ready report without rekeying, exports, or month-end reconciliation.

Configurable Valuation Model

Rules-engine pricing per part, per market, with automated revaluation. Objective decision-making at scale.

Task Management

Role-based assignments across yard staff for efficient resource management.

Precise Parts Identification & Valuation

BI-driven parts catalogue with VIN-anchored compatibility and OEM matching.

2D + Z View

Spatial yard and warehouse management — exact bin, shelf, and row.

Configurable & Dynamic Workflow Automation

Each yard runs its own states. Depollution, strip stages, binning, listing — all configurable.

Car Prioritization

Sort and prioritise inbound vehicles by configurable rules: value, age, demand.

Configurations, Rule Engines & Templates

Aggregator-level templates that flow down to yards; rule-engines for valuation, depollution, and listing.

Reporting & Analytics

Operator dashboards, audit-grade exports, and board-ready KPIs for business insight.

Sales & Inventory Management

Multi-channel listing to PrestaShop, NopCommerce, PartVisor, eBay Motors, and walk-in.

Workflow

One continuous record, intake to report

From inbound vehicle through depollution, strip, binning, listing, and shipment — every stage is configurable per yard, and every action is logged against the source VIN.

Who Sustain360 is for

Built for the whole automotive recycling network

A single platform configured for the three core audiences across the end-of-life chain.

Car Dismantlers & Auto Recyclers

Run the floor on a single board. Track every vehicle and every part end to end, with role-based task assignment.

ELV Centres

Depollution, recovery, and chain-of-custody documentation aligned with EU Directive 2000/53/EC.

Refurbishers & Remanufacturers

VIN-anchored compatibility, OEM-grade part matching, and multi-channel listing from one source of truth.

Future of the system

Modular, configurable, ready for what's next

Sustain360 is designed for the operating model the industry is moving toward — aggregator-level templates, yard-level autonomy, OEM-grade reporting, and clean integrations with marketplaces and ERP systems.

  • Aggregator-level templates that flow down to yards
  • Rule engines for valuation, depollution, and listing
  • Open APIs and webhooks for ERP / marketplace integration
  • BI-driven parts catalogue with OEM matching

Circular economy

Contributing to a circular automotive economy

Every vehicle Sustain360 processes feeds back into the economy — first as reusable parts, then as recovered materials. The platform measures and reports each step so the loop is auditable, not aspirational.

  • Reuse before recycle

    Surface every viable part to the marketplace before the vehicle hits the shredder line.

  • Material recovery, logged

    Aluminium, copper, steel, and chemistry routed and weighed with VIN-anchored paperwork.

  • Closed-loop reporting

    Per-vehicle and per-shipment reports that match the audit posture aggregators and OEMs ask for.

For OEMs

A direct line back to the build sheet

For OEMs like VW Group, BMW, Stellantis, and Renault — Sustain360 closes the loop on the parts and materials your factories are required to recover. Every part the platform extracts is matched to its VIN and OE part number; every gram of material is logged against an auditable record; every shipment back to a factory carries the paperwork to prove it.

  • VIN-anchored chain of custody for every part and material
  • OEM-grade aluminium, copper, and steel routed direct
  • Audit-ready reporting per vehicle and per shipment
  • Bilateral data feeds via REST API, webhooks, or PartVisor
  • EU ELV Directive 2000/53/EC and UK ATF paperwork built in

Field notes

From the floor, in their own words

Composite voices drawn from operators, sales staff, and compliance leads across our build partners — clearly labelled per our editorial policy.

Before Sustain360 we ran the floor on whiteboards and three group chats. We can now point to any vehicle on any day and say what state it is in.

The yard runs six binning stations and three sales channels — PrestaShop FI, NopCommerce, and a direct trade counter. Before Sustain360, parts moved through three spreadsheets and a paper bin ledger. After Sustain360, every part is anchored to its source VIN at the binning scanner, valuation runs against Sandbox FI data on intake, and listings publish on the day a part is graded. Audit paperwork for the EU ELV directive is generated from the same workflow rather than rebuilt at month-end.
