Sustain360 for Inspector
The Inspector grades the incoming vehicle and the components on it. The role suffers when grading is inconsistent between staff and when photo evidence lives on personal phones. Sustain360 ships a structured A / B / C rubric tied to the source VIN — the same prompts every inspector answers, and a photo dossier the rest of the platform reads from.
Where this role sits:Dismantler yards, insurer assessment sites, salvage operators
A day in the life
How a inspector works with Sustain360
The inspector walks a freshly auctioned vehicle and grades against a structured prompt set, capturing photos straight into the VIN record. The grade is the input the valuation rules engine reads minutes later; the photo dossier becomes the basis for downstream listing imagery, dispute resolution, and the audit trail. Off-site inspections — for example, at an insurer's yard — sync the moment the tablet reconnects.

Pain → Outcome
Pain today, outcome with Sustain360
Five to seven concrete pains this role lives with today, paired with the specific Sustain360 outcome that removes each one.
| Pain today | With Sustain360 |
|---|---|
| Inconsistent grading between staff. | A shared component-level A / B / C rubric with reference images. |
| Photos live on personal phones. | Captures attach to the VIN inside the platform — not the phone. |
| No link between inspection and downstream valuation. | Grades flow into the rules engine; an A-grade headlight prices differently from a B. |
| Off-site inspections require rekeying back at the yard. | Mobile capture against a VIN draft, syncing on reconnect. |
| Disputes have no evidence trail. | Photo dossier and grading history per VIN — exportable to PDF. |
