This instinct is particularly strong in the paintless dent removal industry. While a closer scrutiny of expenses in your PDR business is smart, what's even smarter is learning how to recognize which things (more advertising, PDR software, new tools) will have an immediate positive effect on your paintless dent repair business.

Oct, 15 2008 - Dealership Software: Separating the Facts from the Fads

Recon Pro Introduction

Recon Pro was developed specifically for auto reconditioning companies and the dealerships where they often perform service.

Too often, service estimates are handwritten and have frequent errors, creating a poor quality impression for the dealership customers. Billing is often a hassle for the recon work done in the dealership service center, with errors in estimates, VIN numbers, and work completion leading to lots of time and aggravation by the accounting staff.

Recon Pro, which integrates with QuickBooks® and other accounting software, tracks every vehicle by VIN and creates customized reports that allow the vendor and the dealer to quickly see revenue, profit, service writer and technician sales.

Through the use of mobile devices such as cell phones, bar code scanners, handheld computers, and Web-based software, the software allows recon business owners to identify, estimate, book, and bill reconditioning work.

The software supports a variety of reconditioning services, including paintless dent repair, paint touchup, interior repair, wheel and windshield repair, and auto detailing. Each recommended service is entered on a cell phone or handheld computer by the service estimator; a service estimate is calculated and printed at the push of a button.

Recon Pro also provides an “executive dashboard” that can be viewed by authorized dealership personnel from any PC with Internet access. Easy-to-read, customized charts and reports summarize critical business data for reconditioning companies and dealerships, including a summary of estimates, work orders, revenue, productivity, and other information central to a recon business’s profitability.
