LocateIQ Workflow Automation

Workflows that update themselves.

The only workflow system powered by real vehicle location. Because we know where the car physically is, workflows advance automatically. No manual updates. No stale dashboards.

MDD Workflow automation on mobile

Your workflow dashboard looks organized.
But is it accurate?

Someone has to remember to log that a car left the bay. They forget. They get busy. The dashboard becomes fiction. And you discover bottlenecks after it’s too late.

Technician Idle Time

Techs wait for vehicles — wasting billable hours every single day.

No Process Visibility

Advisors don’t know where customer vehicles really are in the process.

Manual Updates Fail

Someone has to log status changes. They forget. Dashboard becomes fiction.

CSI Takes a Hit

Completed vehicles sit uncommunicated. Customers call repeatedly for updates.

LocateIQ — automation powered by real vehicle location.

Because we track the physical position of every car and key, MDD can automatically advance your workflow when vehicles move. No manual updates. No stale dashboards. No guessing.

Other Workflow Tools

  • Rely on manual status updates
  • Data only as good as last person who logged it
  • Bottlenecks discovered after the fact
  • No physical location intelligence

Real feedback from real dealerships.

“With this cycle time tool, we know at the 40-minute mark whether we’re having an issue with a particular delivery. We can get help there immediately to meet our delivery promise.”

A $40,000 car sitting in recon for 6 extra days is dead capital.

Every extra day a car sits in recon is cash sitting on the lot. LocateIQ shows you exactly where bottlenecks happen — and eliminates them before they compound.

Everything you need to know about LocateIQ workflows.

How does automatic updating work?

Because MDD tracks the physical location of every vehicle via Bluetooth, when a car moves from one zone to another, the workflow advances automatically. No manual status updates needed.

Can we customize the workflow stages?

Absolutely. Define your own stages for service or recon: inspection, body, mechanical, detail, photo, front-line — whatever matches your process.

What’s IP vs. NIP tracking?

In-Process vs. Not-In-Process. MDD is the only system that tracks time during operational hours only. Your metrics are actionable and credible, not inflated by overnight hours.

How do bottleneck alerts work?

Set thresholds for time-in-stage. When a vehicle exceeds the threshold, you get an alert. No more discovering problems after the fact.

Does this replace our existing workflow software?

MDD can work alongside or replace existing tools. The key difference: MDD adds physical location intelligence that other tools simply can’t provide.

What about vendor accountability?

Time-based metrics show exactly how long each vendor takes. Hold outside detailers, body shops, and other vendors accountable with real data.

Turn downtime into dollars.

See how leading dealerships are cutting cycle times, increasing bay turns, and speeding up recon — all with LocateIQ-powered workflows.
