RECONO FEATURE

A live dealership recon board for every vehicle between intake and frontline.

Recono turns the recon pipeline into a visual board. Move vehicles through the stages your rooftop actually uses, see how long each unit has been in recon, and keep the current status visible to the teams that need it.

DIRECT ANSWER

What is a dealership recon board?

A dealership recon board is a visual workflow that organizes used vehicles by their current reconditioning stage. It helps managers and teams see where each vehicle is, which units are aging, who is responsible, and what needs to happen before the vehicle becomes frontline ready.

ONE LIVE STATUS

Stop rebuilding the recon picture every time someone asks where a car is.

The board is designed to make current status visible without requiring a manager to reconcile texts, notes, spreadsheets, and conversations.

STAGE

See where every unit is now

Vehicles are grouped by the current recon stage so the pipeline can be scanned quickly.

AGE

Surface what is sitting

Recon age and stage time make it easier to identify the units that need attention first.

HISTORY

Preserve movement over time

Stage changes create history that can later be used to analyze the process instead of relying on memory.

How the Recono Recon Board works

Add the vehicle. Start with the unit's core identifying information and current recon context.
Place it in the correct stage. Represent inspection, service, parts, body, detail, photos, or the stages your store uses.
Move it when responsibility changes. Drag and drop the vehicle as work progresses.
Watch aging. Keep old or stalled units visible while the team works the normal flow.
Use the history. Recono records movement so management can later measure stage performance and overall recon time.

What information should be visible on a recon board?

Information	Operational reason
Stock number / VIN	Identify the exact unit without ambiguity.
Year, make, model	Give users quick visual context.
Current stage	Show where the unit is in the workflow.
Days in recon	Expose total aging.
Time in current stage	Expose local bottlenecks and waiting time.
Assignment / ownership	Clarify who needs to move the vehicle next.
Notes or context	Keep useful vehicle-specific information attached to the unit.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE

The board should mirror the real rooftop, not invent a second process.

Recono is most useful when the columns represent meaningful operational handoffs. The goal is a shared source of truth that is simple enough for the team to keep current.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Concise answers to common dealership reconditioning questions related to this topic.

Does the Recono Recon Board use drag and drop?

Yes. Vehicles can be moved through the recon workflow with drag-and-drop stage movement.

Can a dealership use its own recon stages?

Recono is designed around the rooftop's stage-based workflow so the board can represent the steps used by that dealership.

Does Recono record stage history?

Yes. Vehicle movement is recorded so time in stage and recon performance can be measured rather than reconstructed later.

Can sales and service see the same recon board?

Authorized users can work from the same shared vehicle status, helping sales, service, parts, detail, and management stay aligned.

Does the board show aging vehicles?

Recono is designed to make recon age visible so managers can focus on vehicles that have been sitting too long.

Do I need a DMS integration to use the board?

No. Recono can be used by adding vehicles directly, allowing a rooftop to test the workflow without waiting for a DMS integration project.

PUT RECON IN ONE PLACE

See every vehicle, find what is stuck, and keep the road to frontline moving.

Start with a few live vehicles and give your rooftop a shared view of the reconditioning process.
