Cars also lose 1 to 2% of their value each week they wait. That loss is not counted here.
One tool, purchase to sale
Everything a car goes through, on one screen and in every pocket
RekonFlow replaces the whiteboard, the group text and the month-end spreadsheet with one record per car.
The recon board
Every car in every stage, live. Cars that sit too long turn red, and every block carries a reason and a name.

Technicians and detailers see their queue, advance a car in two taps and photograph what they find, even with no signal.

Set a target spend and target days at intake. Every part, labor hour and invoice posts against it the day it happens.

When the car sells, RekonFlow adds purchase, recon, holding cost and listing, and shows the gross you actually made.

How it works
Three steps from trade-in to the front line
Scan the VIN
Point a phone at the VIN. The car joins your recon board with its year, make and model filled in.
Track every stage and dollar
Your team moves each car through inspection, mechanical, body and detail. Every part, labor hour and vendor bill lands on the car it belongs to.
Close the P&L
When the car sells, you see what it cost to get ready, how long it took and what it really made you.
Built for the independent lot
Made for a 40-car lot, not a 40-store group
Live in a day
No implementation project. Scan your first VIN in under fifteen minutes and run tomorrow’s stand-up from the board.
Your team, on their phones
It installs from the browser on iPhone and Android. No app store, no typing with dirty hands.
Vendors without accounts
Outside shops get a link by text. They tap Done and photograph the invoice. No password, no app.
Every delay has a name
A stuck car shows who has it and why. The bottleneck panel ranks the stages where days are lost.
Every dollar on its car
Costs land on the car and the stage they belong to, estimated or confirmed, with the invoice attached.

Why days matter
The gap between the benchmark and your lot is money
- the industry benchmark from purchase to frontline-ready
- 3–5 days
- what a typical independent store actually runs
- 12–15 days
- holding cost of a domestic used car while it waits
- $40 a day
Industry figures, not RekonFlow results. The $40 a day comes from NCM Associates.
