Case study · Auto salvage
YardReplace spreadsheet chaos with a tablet your yard learns in minutes.
Yard is a custom management system for a US auto salvage operation — built to replace legacy Checkmate complexity with a fast PWA: scan a VIN, add a part, print a tag, and ring up an invoice from one tablet.

The challenge
Checkmate is powerful. Your yard team needs simple.
A US auto salvage yard was running inventory, interchange lookups, tag printing, and invoicing through a legacy system built for power users — not yard workers on tablets. Orders of parts arrived in every format imaginable. Staff re-typed VINs, hunted for compatibility by hand, and printed tags through a workflow nobody could learn in an afternoon. The goal: input inventory fast, print tags instantly, look up part compatibility, create invoices, and track customers — all from a tablet, with zero technical training.
Product screens
Designed for the yard floor — not the boardroom.
Large touch targets, minimal typing, and flows built for speed on a tablet in a salvage yard.
Add part
Seven-step tablet flow
Icon grid for part types, condition grades, yard zone, camera photos — then save and print a thermal tag in one tap.
POS / Invoice
Scan-to-sell checkout
Scan a part tag, add line items, apply tax and warranty, and finalize with cash, card, or on-account payment.
What we're building
One platform — vehicle to invoice.
Phase 1 replaces core Checkmate functionality with a dramatically simpler interface your team can run on day one.
Dashboard
Today's snapshot: parts added, sold, revenue, inventory value, and a live activity feed with quick-action buttons.
Vehicle management
VIN scanner via tablet camera → auto-fills year, make, model via NHTSA. Track status, photos, and every part pulled.
Parts inventory
Search, filter, barcode scan lookup, and a fast add flow with icon-grid part types and thermal tag printing.
Customer management
Walk-in, repair shop, wholesale, and insurance customers — purchase history, lifetime spend, and one-tap invoice creation.
Invoicing & POS
Scan tag → line items → tax → warranty → payment. Draft, finalize, print, and track paid/unpaid/overdue.
Settings & auth
PIN-based tablet login for yard workers, thermal printer setup, yard zones, tag templates, and role-based access.
Phased delivery
Three lean phases — working software early.
Phase 1 gives the yard a fully working system in 3–4 weeks. Each phase layers capability without disrupting daily operations.
