ReconVelocity Recon Workflow: ReconVelocity and Recon Workflow

It is now presented under the Velocity Automotive name.

The company says the workflow suite can be customized to each dealership's recon process. Listed features include integration with the DMS and repair orders, integration with the inventory management system, including incoming notes and pictures, vehicle location tracking, recon photo upload, VIN scanning and decoding, task assignment and management, and push notifications.

Communication is a stated focus. ReconVelocity says it offers real-time communication with a time-stamped audit trail and permission-based access for every user.

So the used car manager, the service department and the detail shop can see the same status. The company describes the product as balancing the needs of the departments that touch a vehicle in recon.

The product includes named modules. VelocityLocate is described as automating a vehicle's step-by-step progress through recon, even when someone forgets to press the button.

ReconMatch is described as connecting targeted buyers with pre-owned vehicles during reconditioning. So sales work can begin before the unit is on the lot.

A mobile app is listed on the Apple App Store. CBT News reported that Sonic Automotive selected ReconVelocity for installation across its dealerships, which is a public announcement of a group adopting the tool.

The people the company says it serves include recon managers, fixed operations directors, general managers, used car managers and service managers. It says the aim is faster inventory cycle times, which is the company's goal for the product and not a promise for any store.

Questions for a fixed ops director: how repair orders are opened and closed between the recon system and the DMS, how vendor work such as detail and paint is tracked, how costs are captured per vehicle, what the technician's interface looks like, and how the tool reports days in recon by step. The category guide for reconditioning software lists the same points.

Ask what is included.

ReconVelocity was founded in 2019 in Destin, Florida, by Hugh Hathcock, who also created the ELEAD1ONE CRM and call center firm. It tracks a vehicle from purchase to retail-ready and shows exact location.

Its VelocityLocate uses GPS and geofencing to sync a car's location with the next recon step.

ReconMatch links targeted buyers with vehicles still in recon. Named clients include Asbury Automotive and Mabry Auto Group.

A used-car manager would ask how it reads the DMS.
