About Rapid Recon

Great for tracking vehicle recon progess

I have been a user of Rapid Recon for over 10 years and having experienced different methods of inventory tracking , this is by far the best way to keep track of all the vehicles and making sure every step of the reconditioning process gets done in a timely manner.

Pros:

I love how it lets everyone in the reconditioning process know who needs to do what to each vehicle and where a vehicle is in the process. In my case, I love how it sends me an alert to my phone letting me know what work is ready for me to do.

Cons:

While this may be a Pro for upper management, the feature that it tracks all sorts of metrics, including the amount of time to front line ready, which is important metric and valuable tool, some dealerships spend more time trying to use work arounds to game the system to keep their Time to front line number low because the upper management scores their efficiency and holds them accountable for these numbers - - that I believe they could use this time more wisely to just actually work on the reconditioning then trying to move the cars around to keep the time low.

Pros:

It can't get much simpler when it comes to used car programs. When you finish in one area, you move the car into the next stage of the used car process. Very easy to use!

Cons:

This is not a difficult program to use. I don't see anything at the moment that can be improved for what I am using it for. It is easy for me to go in and see exactly where a car is during the used car process.

An efficient way to track your inventory!

Overall, a pleasant experience with RR. Every employee in the company utilizes this system daily and it's very easy to train and teach anyone to use it. If I were to be asked, where is this specific vehicle and what step of the process is it in? It would take me less than 20 seconds to give you that answer. It's efficient and helps us stay on track!

Pros:

Rapid Recon allows our company to move our inventory between two separate locations, without missing a step. We know exactly which location the vehicle is at and what step of the process it's in. We utilize the notes section daily as well as the reporting function.

I do not have any issues with Rapid Recon.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I feel that the product is well designed. I like to be able to leave specific notes for the other departments following me. I also like to be able to track vehicle movements. Also to be able to highlight concerns with a picture.

Cons:

I feel that the product is well designed but lately it has become frequently unstable under cellular signal even with full bars of signal. When trying to save notes, many times it will have to be pushed twice to finally get it to complete the save. Also when trying to save it may lock up and have to exit the program to reuse. Is it possible to add a save button for notes? Rather than having to use the add notes tab....I can see it as confusing to some. Also might it be possible to allow an individual user within an organization to customize there screen for example to setup their order of steps for what they use the most and possibly allow them within their individual programs to blackout steps if they wish? I only use 5 or so steps consistently. But I've accidentally sent cars to the wrong step because there's only so much space to use on a cellphone. I use a Samsung note 20 ultra 5g. There are steps that I will never use and removing or blacking out would save time and eliminate mistakes. I live and work in upstate NY. 75% of my Rapid recon use is outdoors in the elements. Even though I have my s pen to help navigate, any customization I can perform only saves me time when I'm out in the cold or elements. Additionally, I'm not an admin. But I see alot of potential issues with select individuals having access to say the notes. Is there a way to limit how much an individual can see? In our business, salespeople tend to disclose Rapid notes to customers. We use those

Ease of use

My overall experience with Rapid Recon has been great. I like how easy it is to use and track the status of your vehicles. This product has helped cut down on our time to the lot and it makes it easy to see where are cars are at all times since I deal with five dealerships. I really like being able to approve work on vehicles with the mobile application when I am off work. This product works like it’s suppose to when everyone uses it properly.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

One of the main features I like is the mobile application that it allows me to check on the status of vehicles when I am off work. I like how easy it is to get service work approvals sent to my phone so I can approve the work and move cars from one status to another without having to actually go back in service. I am also impressed how you can leave notes for the service writers to see without having to stop what you are doing to go talk to them. It’s a great way to keep up with the status of your vehicles as the process moves from service to recon and to frontline ready. Overall I have enjoyed using this application since we switched to it .

Cons:

I can’t really say anything negative about the application itself. The only issues I see sometimes is that sometimes people don’t put the status of the vehicle in the right category so you know where your unit stands in there process. That isn’t the application but human error.

Vendor Response

Thanks, Sonny for taking the time to provide feedback, it's much appreciated. Also, I'm going to have your account manager, Ali Ramstack reach out as it may be helpful for a quick training refresh with some of your team. Her contact info is below as well should you ever want to reach out. Thanks again! Ali Ramstack aliramstack@rapidrecon.com 612.389.9160

Rapid Recon Review

By using Rapid Recon we solved the following business problems: 1) Where's this vehicle? Where's the key? How far along the inspection progress is it? When will it be ready to sell? How much did it cost to get it to the Front Line. Basic stuff but time consuming and distracting to constantly be answering these questions. Now with Rapid Recon Sales/Service staff and management can simply check their PC or phone for the info they need. 2) Info is in real-time and comments/notes remain a permanent record. 3) The Reports available in Rapid Recon are a great tool for productivity analysis and planning. VERY positive experience with Rapid Recon. It works!

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Impactful features of Rapid Recon have been: 1) the ability to customize Steps to match our existing teams, departments, physical locations and established nomenclature. 2) quickly review, modify and revise Work Items (estimates) by multiple staff and management in different locations. Yes, Rapid Recon has proven to be very easy to use from the very start. It was simple to integrate into our business processes.

Cons:

Like to see the ability to start a new estimate while still preserving an existing one. For example: a vehicle gets traded in a year after an inspection/estimate is completed. A NEW inspection/estimate will be completed. Don't want to delete the existing estimate to make room for the new one.

Pipeline Streamline

Overall the program isn't bad, it's just that the phone app can be better and more user friendly.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

What I like most about this software is being able to see the time stamps of how long our vehicles are in each step and what's potentially coming down our pipeline. It not only helps guide me in doing my job, it also helps the rest of our department know what may be bottlenecked and/or know what our end of day goal is.

Cons:

The things I don't like about the software is that in the details overview when inputting data on the desktop version sometimes without cause the screen will refresh itself and erase what you've already inputted. Also the phone app has been increasingly more counter productive in the streamline of moving vehicles from step to step, having to go into multiple screens/interfaces to move a vehicle instead of seeing the vehicle in step and being able to move the vehicle from that same interface. Instead of being able to move the vehicle in the step's list you have to individually click a vehicle then find the change step button and select from a drop down.

Pros:

Love that you can track vehicle progress throughout the entire reconditioning process, but ALSO allows multiple people involved in this process to also track that same progress without having to navigate through multiple sections. Ease of access is 10/10. Doing anything on this software is fairly easy whether you're computer savy or brand new to this stuff. You can track cost, time to lot, effectiveness, and even generate reports that allow you to make the reconditioning process more efficient.

Cons:

There are truly no cons to this product.
