What the Software Manages
🚗

Donor Vehicle Register

Every used part traces back to a source vehicle. The donor register is the foundation of the entire system.

  • VIN scan or manual entry at vehicle intake
  • Auto-decode: make, model, year, engine, trim
  • Source tracking: auction, insurance, direct purchase
  • Purchase cost and date recorded
  • Vehicle-level photos: exterior, engine bay, accident damage
  • Mileage, service history, accident report
  • Scrapped / active / partially dismantled status
🔧

Parts Condition Grading

Accurate condition data is what builds buyer trust and reduces returns. Every part gets graded at intake.

  • Grade A: Excellent — near new, no damage
  • Grade B: Good — minor wear, fully functional
  • Grade C: Fair — noticeable wear, functional
  • Reconditioned: refurbished to working spec
  • Custom grade definitions per part category
  • Condition notes field for detail
  • Photo evidence linked to each grade
📸

Parts Photo Management

Photos are the primary trust signal in used parts. Mobile-first photo capture built into the workflow.

  • Mobile app or web upload at dismantling bench
  • Multiple photos per part (front, back, serial, damage)
  • Video upload for moving parts (engines, transmissions)
  • Photos linked to part listing and buyer-visible
  • Photo compression and CDN delivery
  • Photo requirement enforcement per part category
📦

Inventory & Bin Location

Know exactly where every part is across every yard or warehouse location.

  • Bin location: Yard / Row / Shelf / Bin format
  • Barcode / QR label printing at intake
  • Barcode scan to pick for dispatch
  • Multi-location: separate stock per yard/branch
  • Inter-yard transfer request and confirmation
  • Stock count reconciliation
  • Slow-moving and aged-inventory reports
🌐

Online Storefront

Sell to retail buyers and garages online — your parts, your branding, no marketplace commission.

  • Buyer search by vehicle: Make/Model/Year or VIN
  • Filter by condition, price, warranty, location
  • Part detail page: photos, condition grade, donor VIN, warranty
  • Online checkout: card, UPI, bank transfer
  • Order tracking and delivery confirmation
  • Returns and warranty claim portal
🤝

B2B Garage & Dealer Portal

Garages buy in volume and need credit terms, bulk inquiry, and account-level pricing.

  • Garage account with approved credit limit
  • Dealer pricing — lower than retail
  • Bulk inquiry: send vehicle + parts list, get availability
  • RFQ for specific parts not yet listed
  • Order history, GST invoices, account statement
  • Warranty and returns managed by account
📋

Warranty Management

Warranty terms on used parts are a key differentiator. Track and enforce them systematically.

  • Warranty period per part: 30/60/90/180 days
  • Warranty starts on delivery confirmation
  • Buyer warranty claim portal with reason codes
  • Replacement or refund workflow with approval
  • Warranty cost tracking per part category
  • Supplier warranty claims (if you source from others)
📊

Business Analytics

Know which donor vehicles yield the highest return, which parts move fastest, and where inventory ages.

  • Revenue per donor vehicle vs. acquisition cost
  • Parts sold / unsold / scrapped per vehicle
  • Average days-to-sell per part category
  • Top-selling parts and brands
  • Search demand vs. catalog coverage
  • Warranty and returns cost by part category
🤖

AI Fitment & Pricing

AI automates the two most time-consuming tasks: vehicle compatibility mapping and competitive pricing.

  • Auto-map fitment from donor VIN + part category
  • Suggest compatible vehicles beyond the exact donor
  • Market price benchmarking (scrape competitor listings)
  • Suggested pricing: condition grade + demand signals
  • Natural language buyer search ("gearbox for 2016 Swift")

Used Auto Parts Software — FAQ
What is the best software for managing a salvage yard?
Salvage yard management software needs to handle the full vehicle-to-part lifecycle — donor vehicle register, dismantling workflow, condition grading, parts catalog with fitment, multi-location inventory, and online selling. Off-the-shelf options like Pinnacle, Hollander, or Car-Part Pro cover parts management but are built around the North American market and don't support regional variations, custom B2B portals, or integrated online storefronts. XPndAI builds custom salvage yard software that covers the complete lifecycle with online B2C + B2B selling, multi-yard operations, and AI-assisted fitment — with full source code ownership.
How do you track used auto parts by donor vehicle?
Each donor vehicle is registered at intake with its VIN, make, model, year, engine, mileage, and source (auction, insurance write-off). When a part is dismantled from that vehicle, it is created as a child record linked to the donor — inheriting the vehicle's make, model, year, and engine attributes for fitment matching. The part carries its own condition grade, photos, bin location, and warranty. This means a buyer searching for a 2018 Hyundai Creta engine can find it even if the listing doesn't repeat all those attributes — they come from the donor vehicle record.
Can I sell used parts both online (B2C) and to garages (B2B)?
Yes. The platform supports both channels from the same inventory. B2C buyers see a public storefront, search by vehicle or part name, and check out with standard payment methods (card, UPI). B2B garage accounts register separately, get approved for dealer pricing and a credit limit, and can submit bulk inquiries or RFQs for parts not yet listed. Both channels share the same inventory, so a part sold on B2C is instantly unavailable to B2B buyers and vice versa. Stock reservation during checkout prevents double-selling.
How are warranties managed for used auto parts?
Warranty terms are set per part category (e.g., 90-day warranty on engines, 30-day on body parts) and activate from the delivery confirmation date. Buyers can submit a warranty claim through their account portal — selecting the order, part, and reason code (not as described, not working, fitment issue). The claim goes into an admin review queue. The outcome can be replacement from stock, a refund, or rejection with a reason. All warranty costs are tracked per part category so you can adjust pricing or grading standards for high-claim categories.
How do buyers find the right used part for their vehicle?
Buyers can search three ways: Year / Make / Model / Engine dropdown, VIN input (single field, most accurate), or part name + vehicle freetext ("right headlight for Swift 2019"). VIN search is the most accurate — the system decodes the VIN to extract the exact vehicle specification and returns only parts confirmed compatible. For used parts from the same vehicle generation, the platform can extend compatibility beyond exact-match donors — e.g., a gearbox from a 2017 Swift is shown as compatible with a 2019 Swift of the same engine if fitment data confirms it.
