Description of Venture Idea
This venture proposes a real-time automotive parts valuation software designed to streamline the dismantling and resale process for end-of-life (EoL) vehicles. By automating parts valuation and integrating with inventory systems, the software reduces the time and labor required to assess vehicle components, allowing recyclers to make faster and more profitable decisions about which parts to recover, sell, or warehouse.
The software would leverage AI-powered pricing algorithms, real-time market data, and automated condition assessments to provide recyclers with instant recommendations for dismantling workflows and parts resale strategies.
