Indigo Parts Exchange · not shop ink

Harvest to trade, without pretending the yard is already a national marketplace.

Name: Workshop Wrench
Brand: Workshop Wrench

Workshop Wrench keeps the shop OS in ink. Parts Exchange uses indigo. This page is for wreckers who want a clearer path from donor harvest to a trade collection — starting with a local pilot, not a carrier, payout, or ABR promise.

Request a demo Parts Exchange entry Local PE app (pilot)

Opens the local-pilot marketplace web app on port 3103 when your machine is running the stack. It is not a production marketplace, not a public buyer directory, and not a nationwide stock guarantee.

Editorial harvest-yard image. Not a product screenshot and not evidence of a live national marketplace.

Built for wrecker work

Harvest, lots, will-call, and cores — described as they actually run.

Harvest-to-trade
Keep the identifiers the yard already uses: donor, part, grade, bin, and who can confirm condition. The pilot is a shared brief, not a replacement yard ERP.
B2B lots
Trade buyers need lots they can quote against. Consumer classifieds and U-Pull-It POS are out of scope for this entry.
Will-call
Counter collection is the honest first mile. Pickup window, buyer contact, and a ready-for-collection state beat a fake tracking number.
Cores
Core returns and reman stillages are part of wrecker commerce. Automated core ledgers and freight labels are not claimed live.

Pilot truth

Local-pilot PE is working. Live partners are not.

Stripe Connect, AusPost, and ABR are gated. The local app is a pilot when the stack is running — not a production origin you should send customers to.

B2B marketplace story Wrecker Day-0

Local pilot only
Partial
Parts Exchange marketing and the local app describe a B2B operating model. They do not represent a live production marketplace or national inventory.
Stripe Connect
Stub
No seller payouts, marketplace checkout, escrow, or connected-account onboarding. Commercial terms stay between the parties.
AusPost / freight
Stub
No eParcel, StarTrack, or other carrier is connected. Collection starts as will-call or a hand-off you arrange outside the pilot.
ABR / KYC
Stub
ABN is collected as a specimen during onboarding. There is no live ABR lookup and no verified-business badge.
Harvest CSV
Roadmap
Bulk harvest listing import is later. Day-0 is identity, org roles, and a dispatch conversation — not a file drop.

Editorial yard work — not claimed product captures.

Technician harvesting a gearbox from a donor vehicle on a hoist in an open dismantling shed — Harvest is a yard job. Listing it for trade is a later, gated step.

Trade driver at a will-call counter collecting a wrapped vehicle door with a pickup ticket — Local will-call is the starting collection pattern. No AusPost carrier is connected.

Gloved worker sorting used alternators, starters and calipers in a core-return stillage — Cores and reman returns are in the story. Automated core accounting is not claimed live.

Plain answers for wreckers.

Is Parts Exchange a live production marketplace?

No. The marketing entry at /parts-exchange and the local app at http://127.0.0.1:3103 are a local pilot. They are not a nationwide catalogue, guaranteed demand, or Connected partner network.

Can wreckers take payouts or ship with AusPost from this page?

Not as a live service. Stripe Connect and AusPost are gated. Collection and payment stay between seller and buyer during the pilot.

Does this replace my yard management system?

No. Full yard / YMS replacement is a non-goal for Parts Exchange. The useful unit is the trade hand-off: quote, pick, will-call, exception.

Start with a demo, then a local-pilot conversation.

Public self-serve trial is paused. Wrecker onboarding starts with a demo request, not a signup card.
