PDF generation
Branded vehicle reports, parts certificates, depollution certificates.
Read the specThe Compliance Officer owns ELV / ATF audit readiness. The buying question is whether the platform produces a clean audit trail for every depolluted vehicle and every sold part. Sustain360 produces signed PDF reports, depollution certificates, and Certificates of Destruction aligned with the EU ELV Directive 2000/53/EC and UK ATF / DVLA requirements — backed by an event-level audit trail.
An auditor asks for the chain of custody on a specific VIN. The compliance officer opens the vehicle, exports the audit trail to PDF, and the same record carries the depollution certificate, the photo dossier, and every operator who touched the vehicle. The next audit is the same workflow — not a panic.
A side-by-side view of the legacy / manual way of working against the Sustain360 way — with concrete, illustrative numbers from typical customer-development scenarios.
| Metric | Manual / legacy | With Sustain360 | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| DVLA / Trafi query response | 3–5 days | Minutes | ≈ −99% |
| Audit pack assembly | About 2 weeks | On-demand export | Live |
| Certificate of Destruction generation | Per-vehicle manual | Automated, batch-able | Templated |
| Depollution log completeness | Email + paper threads | Single chain of custody | 100% linked |
| Cross-yard compliance variance | Per-yard ad hoc | One template, all yards | Standardised |
Illustrative — based on customer-development scenarios in the dismantling, salvage, and parts-resale industry. Real outcomes vary by yard size, workflow maturity, and integration scope. Reference contacts available on request.
Five to seven concrete pains this role lives with today, paired with the specific Sustain360 outcome that removes each one.
| Pain today | With Sustain360 |
|---|---|
| Audit trails are reconstructed from spreadsheets. | Event-level audit trail captured live, per vehicle and per part. |
| Depollution certificates are bespoke documents. | Signed PDF depollution certificates produced from the workflow itself. |
| Certificates of Destruction live outside the platform. | CoDs generated against UK ATF / DVLA requirements as part of report. |
| Cross-yard reporting reassembles by hand. | Tenant-level compliance export across every yard in scope. |
| No record of pricing or grading overrides. | Overrides recorded with operator, time, and reason — replayable in the audit trail. |
