A personal fitness trainer is the solution for the gym. Recon Edge from Rapid Recon is the answer for solving recon performance and margin compression humps that erode used car profitability.
Recon Edge is a one-on-one master-level performance efficiency troubleshooting service for auto dealers using Rapid Recon reconditioning workflow software to ensure continuous improvement in their operation.
Rapid Recon is a robust tool that by itself gets used cars sale-ready in days rather than weeks. As an auto dealership software reconditioning tool, it also reveals workflow, time efficiency and profit drains that often still lurk within a used car operation.
For instance, analyzing technician workflow and payroll, a Recon Edge troubleshooter solved a $6,700 a month payroll loss attributed to unapplied labor efficiency. A troubleshooter investigating why a dealer had hit a performance plateau in its time-to-line efficiency identified poor workflow in detailing as the reason. Applied recommendations dropped detail time per vehicle to 1.2 days from 3.3, making cars sell-ready faster.
Recon Edge troubleshooters know dealers’ pains, understand their challenges — and excel at resolving past performance and efficiency humps. Recon Edge experts offer years of experience running and working in dealership fixed or variable operations.
