GreenSpark and ReMatter Combine to Form ReSpark, the Definitive Software Platform for Metal Recyclers

On April 10, GreenSpark Software and ReMatter announced a definitive agreement to combine, creating a single company known as ReSpark (https://www.respark.com). The combined entity brings together two of the most advanced purpose-built software platforms in the metal recycling and scrap yard industry, unifying their products, teams, and customer bases to serve operators across the United States, Canada, and internationally.

"Metal recycling is one of the most operationally complex industries in the world, and for too long it has been underserved by software that was built for a different era. This industry deserves a platform that keeps up with the operators running it. ReSpark is built to do exactly that: deliver the product depth operators need, the support organization to back it at scale, and the AI roadmap to lead them into what comes next. We are finally in a position to deliver all of it simultaneously, without trade-offs," said Gordon Driscoll, CEO, ReSpark.

ReSpark will serve more than 800 scrap companies across 1,000-plus facilities. The platform covers the full operational surface of a modern scrap yard business: inbound and outbound ticketing, dispatch and logistics, consumer portals, commercial pricing, document processing, integrated financial workflows, export, brokerage, and AI-powered agentic automation.

"The operators in this industry have always been ahead of the software available to them. They have been running sophisticated operations on infrastructure that was not built to match them. ReSpark is the platform that closes that gap-a team that has spent years inside this industry, combined with the resources and the architecture to build what the next twenty years of this market demands," said Drake Hougo, President of ReSpark.

Built for the Modern Operator

The combination unifies GreenSpark's AI-native facility management platform, workflow automation, inventory management, and enterprise ERP integration with ReMatter's mobile-first dispatch platform, compliance tools, and back-office financial capabilities. The result is a single platform with the breadth to serve operators at every tier, from single-facility yards to the most complex multi-national enterprise operations in the industry.

Both platforms will be represented at the ReMA National Conference (April 13-16, 2026, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Booth #1635 & #1819), where ReSpark will make its market debut as a combined entity.

AI Innovation and Customer-Centricity, in Parallel

The combination unlocks something neither company could deliver independently: a full commitment to AI product development, paired with the customer support infrastructure needed to deploy it without compromise.

At the scale of either company alone, these priorities competed. Accelerating the product roadmap came at some cost to service depth - and vice versa. ReSpark resolves that tension for good. The combined organization has the depth to deliver best-in-class customer service alongside industry-leading AI workflows.

The pace of change in operational AI is real, and ReSpark is positioned to lead it. The businesses have been building agentic workflows for the metal recycling industry - commercial pricing automation, intelligent dispatch, and document processing - at a level ahead of where the rest of the market is today. With the scale and resources of the combined platform, those capabilities can now be accelerated and deployed across the full customer base, at enterprise-grade.

ReSpark's platform helps recyclers do more with less by making top employees more productive and freeing them to focus on revenue-generating work like expanding commercial material programs and winning new supplier accounts. For operators, this means they get access to genuinely differentiated AI - faster than ever before - from a team that is fully invested in making sure they can actually use it.

Existing Customers

On Day 1, customers on both platforms will see no changes to their products, contracts, or pricing. Both companies are committed to providing all current customers with a seamless path to take advantage of the full capabilities of the combined platform as it develops.

Leadership

Gordon Driscoll, co-founder and former CEO of GreenSpark, will serve as CEO of ReSpark. Wyatt Pontius, co-founder and former CEO of ReMatter, will serve as Chief Product Officer. Drake Hougo, co-founder of ReMatter, will serve as President. The founding teams of both companies remain with the combined entity in full.

ReSpark will operate coast to coast, with offices in Los Angeles and New York.
