ReconVelocity Brings Automation and Optimization to the Reconditioning Process for Auto Dealers

To combat margin compression and workflow inefficiencies in the retail automotive industry, ReconVelocity introduced its new solution to help dealers get vehicles retail-ready faster, improve in-store communications, and deliver more to the bottom line. ReconVelocity, which made its debut today at the Digital Dealer Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, has more than 500 rooftops already installed and/or committed to the system.

Developed by industry expert Hugh Hathcock, founder of ELEAD1ONE, to specifically address the margin challenges facing dealers today, ReconVelocity brings sophisticated technology and pit crew precision to an overlooked area of opportunity: the reconditioning process.

Hathcock recognized that the next iteration of today’s dealership requires optimizing all areas of the business to deliver higher operating efficiencies, and applying innovation and automation to parts of the dealership operation that traditionally have been neglected. The reconditioning process of vehicles for sale, historically a cumbersome, manual process lacking efficiency, automation and accuracy, offers dealers a significant opportunity to capture unrealized profit quickly and easily.

“The reconditioning process is ripe for modernization it’s significant profit hidden in plain sight,” says Hugh Hathcock, founder of ReconVelocity. “For many, the ‘Recon Gap’ is a million dollar opportunity. Most dealerships don’t have the technology to know their true retail-ready timeframe. With used vehicles becoming more critical to the profit of a dealership, this process needs new focus. ReconVelocity is purpose-built to help dealers turn reconditioning into a profit generator.”
