Rapid Recon: product details

Rapid Recon says its founder and chief executive, Dennis McGinn, invented reconditioning software about 15 years ago. Its home page claims more than 5,192 dealerships and 249,941 users, a 3 to 5 day time to line and an 80 percent faster speed to sale, all company figures.

Its about page builds the pitch on transparency, accountability and profitability, measured by two time-based indicators: time to line and average days in recon. A dealer should ask for a reference of the same size and brand and for how repair costs and vendor invoices flow to the accounting system.
