Read the specThe Insurance Loss Adjuster decides salvage outcomes on damaged vehicles. The buying question is whether valuations can be defensible, anchored to actual parts, and produced in hours rather than days — with a clean handoff to a dismantler or auction partner. Sustain360 sits on the dismantler side of that handoff with an audit trail that survives when a salvage case is challenged.
An insurer's loss adjuster has a Cat S vehicle with twenty viable parts. The adjuster pulls a part-anchored valuation through the partner dismantler in Sustain360, sees the rules-engine output per part, and approves the handoff. The audit trail — photo dossier, grading, valuation rules — backs the file if the policyholder challenges the outcome.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valuation turnaround | 3–7 days | Hours | ≈ −90% |
| Defensibility of valuation | Subjective notes | Part-anchored, photo-evidenced | Defensible |
| Audit trail on a challenged case | Email threads + memory | Event-level log per part | 100% linked |
| Hand-off to dismantler / auction partner | Email + spreadsheet | Structured export with VIN + parts | Structured |
| Dispute response time | 1–2 weeks | 1–2 days | ≈ −85% |
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 |
|---|---|
| Valuations take days; cycle time hurts customer satisfaction. | Part-anchored valuations in hours, driven by the rules engine. |
| Valuations are not defensible against challenge. | Every valuation carries the rule, the inputs, and the grade — exportable to PDF. |
| Handoff to dismantler is email, photos, and rekeying. | Dismantler partner reads the VIN, the photos, the grading directly. |
| No audit trail when a salvage case is challenged. | Event-level audit trail per vehicle, per part — replayable. |
| No visibility on what the dismantler actually recovered. | Material recovery and revenue reported back per vehicle. |
“I close salvage cases in hours, not days. The audit trail is the defence.”
