Recon Workflow · Powered by LocateIQ

The only recon tool that knows where the car actually is.

Every other recon system waits for someone to click a button. MDD advances each step from the physical location of the car and its key — logic and AI reading real location data. Your Time-to-Line is measured, not typed in.

The margin is made in recon

Every day in recon is money off the hood.

Holding a used unit costs about $40 a day. Cut one day off Time-to-Line and the numbers add up fast.

Dead capital adds up

A $40K car sitting six extra days in recon burns roughly $240 before it's ever merchandised.

~$40/day holding cost

One day is real money

Shaving a single day off recon across your inventory is worth about $45K a year.

$45K/yr per day cut

The last lever you control

In a compressed-margin market, reconditioning speed is one of the last profit levers fully in your hands.

35% fewer days to lot

Other recon tools wait for someone to click a button.

A car moves to detail, but the system doesn't know until someone updates it — if they do. People forget. And when pay is tied to step times, timestamps get gamed. You end up measuring memory, not your process.

How it works

AI automation that knows every car's status and location.

Service and Recon workflows use AI automation to let you know the work status and location of every car. No more false reports or gaming the system. Less clicks and more accuracy!

01

Tag at Acquisition

Every vehicle gets a tracking tag the moment it arrives.

02

AI Tracks Status & Location

As the car moves through shop, detail, and photos, AI automation keeps its work status and location current — no false reports, no gamed timestamps.

03

Shorten Time-to-Line

See exactly where a unit stalled and hold vendors accountable with clean, defensible numbers.

In every tech's pocket

Recon runs from the phone your team already carries.

Benchmarkable by design

Locked Core Steps. Unlimited Sub-Steps.

Built for dealer groups. Because every store moves through the same locked Core Steps, your data rolls up into one apples-to-apples comparison across every rooftop — something freeform systems can't do, so you can never truly compare one store to the rest. MDD even gamifies it, stack-ranking your stores against each other to drive the whole group's Time-to-Line down. Unlimited Sub-Steps still keep each store's local process intact.

Tamper-proof history

Accurate dwell time at every stage — with AI accuracy you can trust.

Other recon tools track what someone typed. MDD tracks the car.

Traditional Recon Tools

  • A stage advances when someone remembers to click
  • Dwell time is only as honest as the last update
  • No idea where the vehicle physically sits
  • Vendor time is self-reported
  • Bottlenecks surface after the car is already late

MDD + LocateIQ

  • Stages advance from the real location of the car and key
  • Every timestamp observed, never entered by hand
  • Any unit located in seconds, indoors, outdoors or at a vendor
  • Vendor dwell measured, not claimed
  • Stuck units flag themselves the day they stall

We'll show you your real Time-to-Line.

Run MDD against your own inventory and compare what the car actually did to what your current recon system reported. Most stores find days they did not know they were losing. No commitment.

Questions used-car managers ask about recon.

What is recon workflow software?
It tracks every used vehicle from acquisition through reconditioning so you can see exactly where each car is in the process and where it is stuck. MDD Recon Workflow is powered by LocateIQ, so stages advance based on the car real location.
How do you reduce days to frontline?
By eliminating the waiting and guesswork between recon steps and flagging cars that are stuck so you can clear the bottleneck. Longo Toyota saves 3 days per car in reconditioning, and MDD dealers see roughly a 35% reduction in days to lot.
Why does recon time cost money?
A $40,000 car sitting in recon for six extra days is dead capital. Every extra day a car sits is cash on the lot instead of on the front line.
How is this different from other recon tools?
Other recon tools wait for someone to click a button to move a car to the next step. MDD advances the workflow from the car physical location, so dwell times are accurate and no step gets skipped or gamed.
Who approves and tracks the recon work?
The sales or used-car manager gets real-time visibility into every car stage and can approve recon work from the phone the team already carries.
