"We deliberately sought strategic partners who understand the operational realities of automotive recycling and share our belief that modern technology can improve nearly every part of the business." Crush Software Solutions develops cloud-based technology designed to help automotive recyclers manage vehicle acquisition, yard operations, inventory, customer communications and enterprise performance. The company's growing platform includes CrushBuy, an intelligent vehicle acquisition solution that helps recyclers identify and purchase the right vehicles at the right price. CrushBuy uses VIN-specific information, wholesale market values, core values, catalytic converter pricing, commodity values and customizable yard settings to generate data-driven purchase recommendations. The platform also supports online quote requests, VIN scanning, towing and scheduling management, customer communications, dashboards, analytics and partner integrations. These tools help recyclers acquire more profitable inventory while improving speed, consistency and buyer confidence. CRUSH is also developing YardOps, a cloud-based operations platform designed to manage the complete lifecycle of a vehicle after purchase. YardOps will include receiving, vehicle processing, inventory management, yard tracking, parts receiving, enterprise reporting and multi-location visibility. When integrated with CrushBuy, YardOps will provide recyclers with an end-to-end platform connecting vehicle acquisition with daily yard operations and enterprise reporting. "For more than 15 years, we have listened closely to recyclers and built technology around the way they actually operate," said Dimitri Gerontis, chief operating officer of Crush Software Solutions LLC. "The best software is developed alongside the people who use it every day. These strategic investors will help us continue building solutions grounded in real operational needs."

EZ Pull N Pay, led by Chief Executive Officer Omar Wahid, is a regional self-service automotive recycler known for its entrepreneurial approach, customer service and focus on efficient yard operations. Its participation reflects the growing demand among regional recycling operators for technology that improves vehicle buying, yard management and customer engagement.
