Reconditioning software that gets cars frontline faster
Customizable recon stages, inspection and recon tasks created the moment you buy, routed to the right people, and days to frontline tracked on every car.
The problem
Recon is where your margin disappears.
Thirty, fifty, ninety cars in recon at once, and no single place to see where any of them are, who has each one, or how long it's been waiting. Status lives in calls, texts, and somebody's memory.
$32/day
holding cost per car, every day it sits. The clock never stops.
10–14 days
typical recon cycle. Best practice is 4 to 5. Most lots don't know which they are.
60–70%
of recon work leaves the lot, and leaves your line of sight with it.
The recon board
Every car, every stage
The recon board lays out where every vehicle sits, from inspection to mechanical, detail, and photos. Stages are yours to customize, tasks are created automatically on purchase, and days to frontline keeps the whole line honest.
- Customizable recon stages match how your shop works
- Inspection and recon tasks auto-created on purchase
- Days to frontline tracked on every vehicle
Built to move cars forward
From the buy to the front line, Wheelbase keeps recon moving so cars stop sitting and start selling.
Customizable stages
Build the recon board around how your shop actually works, inspect, mechanical, body, detail, photos, or your own sequence. The stages bend to your process, not the other way around.
Auto-created tasks
Buy a vehicle and Wheelbase creates its inspection and recon tasks automatically, so the work is queued the same day the car is yours.
Routed to the right people
Each task lands with the person who owns it as the vehicle moves through its stages, so nothing waits on a manual hand-off.
Days to frontline
Track how long every car takes from purchase to ready-for-sale, so the units stuck in recon are easy to spot and easy to clear.
Inspection checklists
Inspection tasks land alongside the recon work, so every vehicle gets looked over before it heads toward the front line.
From the lane onward
Win a car at the auction and it flows straight into recon, so the same vehicle carries from the buy to the front line without re-entry.
Vendors update from a link
No app to install, no login to remember, easier than texting back. And any car stuck 48 hours with no update gets flagged before it becomes a lost week.
Dealer voices
I got zero visibility once that car leaves here. Zero.
We had one sit at a body shop for nine days. Turns out they hadn't even started it.
Fewer days sitting, more days selling
Every day a car sits in recon is a day it cannot sell. Wheelbase auto-creates the work on purchase, routes it to the right people, and tracks days to frontline on every unit, so the bottlenecks are obvious and the line keeps moving toward the front of your lot.
Recon questions
Reconditioning software runs the work that gets a freshly bought vehicle ready for the front line, the inspection, the repairs, the detail, and the photos. Wheelbase organizes that work into customizable recon stages, auto-creates the tasks when you buy a car, routes each one to the right person, and tracks days to frontline so cars stop sitting.
