Respark

ReSpark develops a software platform for the scrap metal recycling industry that consolidates functions recyclers have traditionally run across separate systems. The platform covers yard operations (automated scale workflows, inbound ticketing, real-time yard visibility, inventory and compliance documentation), logistics (load building, route intelligence, driver coordination, bin tracking, and local and ocean shipments), commercial functions (pricing, contracts, accounts and multi-location price consistency), finance and accounting (AP/AR, payment processing, settlement workflows and financial reporting, with a natively connected general ledger described as on the roadmap), and equipment maintenance (asset tracking, fleet health monitoring and preventive maintenance scheduling). The company describes a single underlying data model spanning four stages — buy and sell, move material, control inventory, and close the books — so status updates flow downstream without exports or manual reconciliation.

A distinguishing element is a set of role-based agentic AI agents that the company states are in production. A Dispatcher Agent converts service requests into optimized routes and tracks bins while reasoning about capacity and constraints; an Operations Agent applies AI material recognition to incoming loads, flags bottlenecks and monitors inventory accuracy; a Commercial Agent analyzes market data, suggests pricing updates, reduces duplicate data entry and reads purchase orders to create sales orders; and a Finance Agent automates settlement workflows, drafts invoices, matches payments and reconciles discrepancies through to financial close. The agents are presented as optional layers on top of the core platform rather than mandatory workflow components.

The product is also organized into role-specific views for scale operators, buyers and sellers, operations managers, dispatchers, finance and accounting staff, and owners and executives, all connected to a shared system. The company's equipment maintenance product, previously branded UptimePM, has been renamed ReSparkPM.
