Hollander and the big interchange platforms work — but they're billed per seat, rigid, and you never own them. Here's how a custom salvage yard system gives you the same fitment lookups, donor tracking and grading, shaped around how your yard actually runs.
Interchange platforms like Hollander, Checkmate, Pinnacle and Car-Part Pro are the default for auto recyclers, but most independent yards hit the same walls: per-seat pricing that grows with your team, workflows you have to bend your process around, and zero ownership of the system your whole business runs on. When you want a small change, you wait — or you pay.
The day-to-day jobs are simple: look up whether a part fits a vehicle, track which donor it came from, grade and price it, then sell it across the counter or online. You don't need 200 modules to do that well — you need those few done exactly the way your yard works.
There's no truly free drop-in replacement for the Hollander interchange dataset, but you can get the same day-to-day capability — fitment lookups, donor tracking, grading and counter sales — in a custom system you own, without recurring per-seat fees. We wire interchange-style fitment lookups to the catalogs you already use during the build.
Yes. We import your existing parts, donor vehicles, quantities and locations during onboarding so you start with your real inventory, not a blank database.
Those are large, generic platforms billed per seat with workflows you adapt to. A custom build is shaped around how your yard actually runs, and you own the code and database — no lock-in.
Yes. Interchange-style fitment lookups (year/make/model, side, position) are built in and connected to your preferred fitment source during the build.
Most salvage yard builds go live in 5 days, then we iterate based on what your team actually uses day to day.
