At the core of our technology is the RCS Catalytic Converter Database—a comprehensive, continuously evolving platform built around the real-world needs of our customers. From identifying and valuing catalytic converters to estimating the full commodity value of a whole scrap vehicle. It also includes the ability to build/manage inventory, designate employee roles (Admin, Purchasing Agent, or Search Function only), track your lots step-by-step, and follow updated PGM market pricing. The platform brings critical tools and data management together all in one place.
Designed to improve purchasing accuracy, strengthen buying decisions, and increase operational efficiency, the RCS platform gives our customers the technology and information they need to buy smarter, operate more efficiently, and grow their businesses.
Snap photos, add a message, and send them directly through the RCS app. No forms. No complicated submissions. Your request immediately enters our live grading queue, where an experienced RCS grader identifies the converter and prices it using live Pt/Pd/Rh markets.
You receive your response directly in the app with the matching converter, grader notes, and unit pricing. Every response is time stamped and recorded with the market pricing used in evaluating the converter value creating a clear historical record for transparency as the PGM markets change.
A grader in your pocket.
Enter a VIN and VIN IQ does the rest. The platform identifies the vehicle and its catalytic converter configuration, showing how many converters it carries, the value of each, and the total converter value based on current PGM markets; not a static price table.
From there, the Generate Quote turns the vehicle into a complete scrap value calculation. Vehicle weights are populated and applied to your price per ton, you can add converter margin for possible aftermarkets or less than full units, and values for all the additional commodities/parts that vehicle contains to build a real-time scrap value. Then generate a detailed PDF breakdown for your records.
Know what the car is worth before you buy it.
