Vehicles touch multiple vendors before they ever hit the lot, and when approvals, communication, and invoices are scattered, delays are inevitable. This guide breaks down how dealerships are modernizing vendor management to move inventory faster and eliminate hidden recon costs. You’ll learn how a digital vendor management system helps teams:

  • Centralize approvals and updates so vendors can start work immediately.
  • Pre-approve vendors and streamline scheduling across detail, transport, mechanical, and photo services.
  • Digitize invoices and payments to control costs and pay vendors accurately and on time.
  • Standardize recon workflows with clear checklists that show what’s done, what’s next, and who’s responsible.
  • Track work progress and expenses in real time to prevent surprises and protect gross per vehicle.

You’ll also discover how to review results, refine processes, and hold vendors accountable for performance. If you want fewer bottlenecks, faster turns, and recon you can actually see and manage, download the full guide and start taking control of your used-car operations.
