Introducing Pinnacle Professional

Pinnacle Professional is the only YMS ‘Yard Management System’ that actually pays for itself. What separates Pinnacle software from our competitors is that it uses your history such as part searches, sales, lost sales and applies it in various tools within the software such as sales recommendations and pricing. By practically applying this data to these tools you become much more effective at turning your inventory and making better buying decisions which equals greater profitability. We take our development input from advanced dismantlers within the automotive recycling industry because who understands the needs of the industry better than you.

Currently Pinnacle Professional is only available in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.
