✨ AI Highlights
Dealers in this thread discuss the need for a real-time tracking system to monitor used vehicles as they move through reconditioning stages (service, body shop, detailing, photography) to get inventory listed within 72 hours and combat depreciation losses. Joe Pistell proposes a simple web-based workflow tool with department checkpoints and timestamps that tracks each vehicle's progress, while others suggest variations including RFID fob scanners or integration into existing platforms like vAuto. The key insight is that every day a car sits in the reconditioning pipeline invisible to online shoppers represents lost inventory velocity and market impressions, making process transparency and departmental accountability critical to profitability.
