The Reality
Why your reconditioning workflow keeps stalling.
The work isn't the problem. The flow between steps is. That's where days, hours, and margin disappear.
Cars stuck between service and detail
Service finishes. Nobody tells detail. The vehicle sits a day, two days, three. Multiply that by every car on the lot.
Parts holds nobody's tracking
A car is waiting on a part. The recon list still says 'in service.' Nobody knows it's actually paused.
Reactive coordination
Your team spends more time chasing status than doing recon work. The system runs on follow-ups.
No real recon time visibility
You can't tell GM how long the average car takes, or where the time is actually being lost.
The Real Problem
The problem isn't the work. It's the handoffs.
The Solution
One reconditioning workflow. Every department. Every vehicle.
Deal to Delivery owns the workflow between trade-in and delivery, every step, every handoff, every status update.
Every vehicle becomes a workflow with a clear next step at all times.
Service, parts, detail, and frontline operate in one connected sequence.
Handoffs trigger automatically the moment a step completes, no chasing.
Pauses (parts holds, approvals) are tracked so nothing silently sits.
Recon time, by stage and by vehicle, is finally measurable.
Integrates directly with your DMS, no double entry, no parallel system.
How It Works
Trade-in logged → Recon triggered → Delivery ready.
Every vehicle becomes a workflow. Each step automatically triggers the next, until it's delivered.
Trade-in logged
Appraised and entered, recon kicks off automatically. No one has to remember to start it.
Recon triggered
Service, parts, and detail each get the next step the instant the last one finishes.
Delivery ready
Photos, frontline, final QA, the car is ready the day you need it, not two days later.
