Vehicle Dismantling Software That Traces Every Part and Every Tonne Back to the VIN.
SynchPlus ONE is end-of-life vehicle (ELV) and auto salvage yard software. Book a vehicle in with photo proof, run it through the Second-Hand Goods register, depollute and dismantle it into saleable parts and scrap — with every outcome traced back to the source VIN and a SAPS-ready audit trail. It runs on-site, even where connectivity is poor.
Stripping a Vehicle Is a Compliance Event, Not Just a Teardown
Most yards juggle a paper Second-Hand Goods register, a spreadsheet for parts, a weighbridge book for scrap — and no line back to the vehicle any of it came from.
“Where Did This Part Come From?”
An inspector, an insurer or a customer asks about a part’s origin. The answer is in a book, a folder and someone’s memory — and it takes a day to reconstruct, if you can at all.
A Register That Doesn’t Hold Up
The SHGA register is handwritten, the holding period is tracked on a calendar and SAPS reports are retyped. One gap can put your licence at risk.
Parts Stock Nobody Trusts
Harvested parts are piled on shelves with no grade, condition or location recorded. You can’t sell what you can’t find, and you can’t value what you can’t count.
Scrap Tonnage Disconnected From Vehicles
The hulks go over the bridge, but nobody can say what each vehicle recovered in parts and scrap versus what it cost to buy and strip.
Everything an Auto Salvage Yard Needs
SynchPlus ONE runs the whole disposition on one record — so the register, the parts store, the scrap tonnage and the money all trace to the same VIN. Turn on only what your yard needs.
Vehicle Intake & Proof
Each ELV is booked in as a serialised stock item by VIN. Mandatory 5-photo proof of receipt at intake. Seller captured once, ID-verified and reused. Yard and bay location assigned on arrival.
SHGA Compliance
Second-Hand Goods Act register per acquisition. Section 23 holding period enforced (config-driven). Audited supervisor override for early release. SAPS Annexure B export with an audit log.
Seller Data & POPIA
Seller ID and documents captured and encrypted at rest, POPIA-aligned. One seller record across many acquisitions. Access controlled by role and permission, and every access logged.
Depollution & CoD Gates
Depollution checklist for fluids, battery, airbags and gas. Gate steps block disposition until complete. Certificate of Destruction captured, with photo and document evidence per step.
Dismantle → Parts Inventory
Harvested parts become inventory items with condition, grade and location. Barcode labels for the parts store. Ready to sell over the counter or online.
Scrap & Weighbridge
Residual hulk and metals go to scrap by grade. Weighbridge tickets post to bulk tonnage, with ferrous / non-ferrous split and pricing. Dispatched to the recycler, fully accounted.
Provenance & Lineage
Every part and scrap lot traces to its source VIN. Yard-stripped stock is distinguishable from bought-in stock. Per-vehicle disposition history that makes recalls and disputes defensible.
Disposition & Buyers
Parts sold, scrap dispatched, cores returned. Buyer ID captured for regulated goods. Disposal register and sales history, with cost-per-vehicle against recovered value.
Yard Fleet & Plant Module
Tow trucks, loaders and forklifts on the same platform, with fuel, maintenance and total cost of ownership if you want it — one asset register for vehicles and plant.
VIN → Register → Depollute → Parts + Scrap
Each vehicle flows through one traceable chain — every step captured, gated where the law requires it, and reconciled back to the source.
Book In
Vehicle received by VIN with five photos, seller ID verified and encrypted, bay location assigned.
Register & Hold
SHGA register entry created; the holding period runs before the vehicle can be stripped or disposed of.
Depollute & Dismantle
Checklist-gated depollution, then parts harvested into inventory with condition, grade, label and location.
Sell & Scrap
Parts sold, cores returned, hulk weighed out as scrap by grade — all reconciled to the source VIN.
A Stripping Yard Usually Needs Three Systems. This Is One.
Parts-store systems don’t keep the register. Scrap systems don’t know about vehicles. Paper doesn’t know about anything.
| Capability | Typical Yard Today | Parts POS or Scrap System | SynchPlus ONE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Second-Hand Goods register | Paper book / spreadsheet | Not included | Built-in SHGA register + s.23 hold |
| SAPS reporting | Manual retyping | Not included | One-click Annexure B export |
| Part / scrap → source vehicle | Not tracked | One side only | Full provenance to the VIN |
| Depollution / CoD control | Trust the operator | Not included | Gated — blocks early disposal |
| Parts store + scrap weighbridge | Two separate systems | One or the other | One platform, shared stock |
| Seller / buyer personal data | Unsecured | Varies | POPIA-encrypted at rest |
| On-premise, offline | Paper only | Often cloud-only | Fully offline — local storage |
Turn Every Vehicle Into Sellable, Findable Stock
The margin in dismantling is in parts — but only if you can find them, price them and prove where they came from.
Labelled and located. Every harvested part gets a barcode label, a condition and grade, and a shelf or bin location in the parts store, so counter staff and online listings work from the same stock.
Provenance sells. Being able to show a buyer the donor vehicle’s VIN, intake photos and disposition history builds trust, and it protects you when a part is queried later.
Know your yield per vehicle. Because purchase cost, parts sold and scrap tonnage all hang off the same vehicle record, SynchPlus ONE shows cost-per-vehicle against recovered value — so you know which vehicles are worth buying.
Scrap leaves through the same weighbridge and grading flow that recyclers use — see recycling software and weighbridge software. For general scrap dealing under the Second-Hand Goods Act, see scrap yard management.

Vehicle Dismantling Software FAQ
Common questions from auto dismantlers, salvage yards and ELV processors.
Vehicle dismantling (or ELV) software runs an auto salvage yard from intake to disposition: booking vehicles in by VIN, keeping the Second-Hand Goods register, controlling depollution, turning harvested parts into sellable inventory, and weighing the residual hulk and metals out as scrap. SynchPlus ONE does all of this on one record, so every part and every scrap lot traces back to the vehicle it came from.
Every vehicle acquisition is entered in the built-in SHGA register. The seller is captured once, ID-verified and reused across acquisitions, with personal information POPIA-encrypted at rest. The section 23 holding period is enforced (configurable), early release requires an audited supervisor override, and SAPS Annexure B exports with an audit log.
At intake, SynchPlus ONE requires five photographs of the vehicle before it can be booked in. That gives you evidence of the vehicle’s condition and identity at the moment you took custody — useful for inspections, insurer queries and disputes.
Yes. Harvested parts become inventory items with condition, grade, location and a barcode label, and each one keeps its link to the source VIN. Stock you stripped yourself is distinguishable from bought-in stock, and each vehicle has a full disposition history.
Yes. A depollution checklist covers fluids, battery, airbags and gas. Gate steps block disposition until the checklist is complete, each step carries photo and document evidence, and the Certificate of Destruction is captured against the vehicle.
The residual hulk and metals go to scrap by grade. Weighbridge tickets post to bulk tonnage, with a ferrous and non-ferrous split and pricing, and scrap is dispatched to your recycler fully accounted for — still linked to the vehicles it came from.
Yes. SynchPlus ONE can run entirely on your own hardware with local storage, on your existing network behind your firewall, or in our managed cloud for multi-yard groups. Every feature works offline when deployed on-premise.
