Get every car to the front line, on budget

No. Recon is part of the dealer management system: the work order sits on the car's page beside its photos, costs and deal. There is no separate technician app. Staff with the Owner, Admin manager or Sales role run work orders, and a job can name a vendor, a teammate or anyone by name.

Book a finished job and it becomes a cost on that car, in the category that matches the job. The cost is part of the car's value until it sells, then moves to cost of goods sold, and it posts to your books and to QuickBooks Online if you connected it. Unpaid bills wait in accounts payable.

Each work order shows how many days it has been open and its ready-by date, and warns when the estimates head over budget. The recon strategist flags cars not on the front line 14 days after purchase, orders open 14 days or more, and orders past their ready-by date. There is no average time-to-frontline report today.

It reads your recon board or one car and puts the stuck cars first. It proposes cards to add or move a job, close an order, book a bill, call a vendor as a task, or weigh fixing a car against wholesaling it. Booking a bill always waits for your approval, and it never contacts vendors or makes up a cost.

No. In-house labor is tracked on the work order but not posted as a car cost, so your gross is not padded with estimates. Jobs sent to a vendor, and parts you buy, are booked as costs.

Every plan includes work orders, vendors and the AI recon strategist. The AI uses the plan's monthly AI allowance.

No. Recon costs never appear on your website or in the listing feeds. Photos you tag Recon stay private too.
