Sustain360 for Yard Manager
The Yard Manager runs the floor: throughput, exception handling, and the chain of custody on every vehicle from gate to shelf. The role lives in spreadsheets in most yards. Sustain360 replaces the spreadsheet with a live operational view that staff, sales, and accounts all read from.
Where this role sits:Independent yards, multi-yard dismantler groups, aggregator-operated sites
A day in the life
How a yard manager works with Sustain360
The day starts with the rollup dashboard — inbound vehicles, work-in-progress by station, and the exception queue. By mid-morning a B-grade alternator gets flagged at binning; the manager opens the part, confirms the regrade, and the rule engine reprices it before lunch. The afternoon is a walk of the floor against a live yard layout on a Leaflet map. End of day, the audit export is queued for the compliance officer.

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 |
|---|---|
| No live state of each vehicle — spreadsheets go stale within hours. | A rollup dashboard with vehicle state by station, refreshed on every transition. |
| A part goes missing and there is no audit trail to follow. | Every state transition records operator, time, role, and location. |
| Sales asks where a part is and the answer is a phone call to the floor. | Sales reads the same live stock and bin location the floor writes. |
| Exception queues live in heads, not in a system. | Configurable exceptions surface to the manager, not to the operator's pile. |
| Reporting day is a panic of CSV pulls. | Every grid exports under the current filter — no separate report builder. |
| Onboarding new staff means shadowing the wrong inspector. | Role-based UIs and a shipped grading rubric give new staff a consistent floor. |
