MAXI ROE (Modular Architecture for the Exchange of Information for Recycling Original Equipment ) is a cutting-edge, data-driven automotive dismantling and recycling management system. MAXI ROE simplifies and optimizes every step of the dismantling process by utilizing a powerful modular framework that handles vehicle intake, part extraction, inventory management, and profit analysis with seamless efficiency.
By leveraging data from platforms like IAAI, Copart, and eBay, MAXI ROE helps recyclers make informed decisions about which vehicles to purchase, which parts to remove, and how to list and ship them to maximize returns. Whether you're a recycler, dismantler, or part supplier, MAXI ROE transforms how you approach vehicle teardown and part sales.
MAXI ROE automates the addition of vehicles into the system from sources like Copart and IAAI, reducing manual data entry and human error. With automatic vehicle information imports (VIN, lot number, purchase history), recyclers can streamline their workflow from the moment a car arrives.
With built-in intelligence for part removal prioritization, MAXI ROE ensures that dismantlers focus on high-value parts based on the market's demand. The system uses eBay data and historical sales information to provide a real-time part removal order, maximizing profitability.
MAXI ROE connects directly to eBay to automate part listings based on the parts removed, integrating with high-resolution image uploads and detailed part descriptions. No more guessing which parts to list or how to price them—MAXI ROE does that for you.
Analyze potential profits before purchasing a vehicle with our MAXI ROE market-driven insights. The system evaluates vehicles based on purchase price, part availability, and market trends, giving you a full report on potential profit and loss before committing to any purchase.
MAXI ROE's flexible, modular system allows recyclers to configure the platform to fit their exact needs. It supports a variety of integrations, from different vehicle auction platforms to part management systems.
Using augmented reality, MAXI ROE assists dismantlers in identifying part locations and optimal removal strategies. The AR feature guides users to efficiently extract parts while minimizing damage.
MAXI ROE employs AI-driven quality control mechanisms to assess parts for damage, ensuring only the best-quality parts are sold, reducing returns and customer complaints.
Market fluctuations are accounted for through our dynamic pricing engine, which adjusts part prices based on real-time supply and demand, maximizing profit margins.
MAXI ROE’s intelligent storage system uses part dimensions and volume analysis to optimize the use of space in bins and shelves, reducing the risk of part damage and increasing operational efficiency.
If you're in the automotive recycling business, MAXI ROE is designed specifically to increase efficiency and profitability. Dismantlers are guided through the part removal process with a prioritized order of operations, reducing wasted time on low-value parts. Recyclers benefit from real-time market data and advanced part storage optimization, ensuring minimal inventory loss and streamlined shipping.
