Reconditioning software company Rapid Recon announced workflow transparency for dealers’ new-car operations, which it says is identical to its reconditioning workflow software and processes for its used-car system.

For both systems, inventory is auto-imported and tracked throughout the workflow processes, which the company says makes a dealer’s new inventory completely transparent.

Working with the dealer’s new-car team, Rapid Recon creates a customized, stand-alone New-Car Workflow that mirrors their existing process.

With that flexibility, everyone involved in new car preparation and sales can access new-vehicle tracking from In Transit to Sold within Rapid Recon.

Rapid Recon said dealers expect accountability and transparency from their Rapid Recon used car workflow. That can now be reflected in their new-car workflows, according to the company.

Staff can now access new-car workflow from desktop, laptop, tablet, iPhone, Android or any device, which provides complete real-time mobility to the team.

The system helps make checking in vehicles off the transport truck more straightforward, and Rapid Recon records real-time arrival times. If an in-transit claim is made against the manufacturer, the user can add supporting details such as photos and notes to the vehicle record in Rapid Recon and send to the warranty clerk for submission.

All the information is stored permanently in the Rapid Recon vehicle record.

Rapid Recon said new-car workflow details are accessible in real-time from almost anywhere. That provides real-time vehicle progress updates to your sales personnel. The company describes the new car workflow as an important tool for your BDC.

Dealership general managers and their fixed and variable operation managers can see a benefit when using Rapid Recon to drive inventory turn, increase labor hours and parts revenue. With Rapid Recon, the sales team gains in-their-hand, on-the-go mobile inventory intelligence, which the company said can help them build value in the deal from their first contact with the prospect.

More than 20,000 monthly users across more than 2,400 auto dealerships currently use Rapid Recon workflow software.

New-Car Workflow from Rapid Recon is available for $249 a month with a current Rapid Recon core product subscription.
