See the difference iRecon makes.
Every hour a vehicle sits in reconditioning is an hour you’re paying holding costs and losing out on profits. Multiple cars stalled in your process means even more hits to your bottom line.
Use the calendar to follow the timeline of two dealerships working to get inventory front-line ready.
Click each day to view the progress made as one dealer leverages iRecon to streamline the reconditioning process while the other dealer does not.
