Start with Real-Time Location Services

TrueSpot is Great! No more wasted time looking for cars/keys. Plus, TrueRecon is the ONLY recon software that allows me to track the progress of my pre-owned cars during each step of the recon process with “real time” geo-validation. This allows me to identify bottlenecks in the process and does not rely on employee input for status updates so we can efficiently reduce the time it takes to get vehicles frontline ready

TrueSpot is a great tool for us especially with having so much inventory and locating real time, saves me deals and keeps everyone informed on to where everything is at all times. The team at TrueSpot is great with our feedback to making the system more streamlined and flawless. Thank you guys.

Since I implemented TrueSpot I have not had to call the locksmith once! It is a true cause and effect!

TrueRecon has allowed us to eliminate paper estimates altogether and keep our operations and our processes much more organized. It’s had a huge impact on the pace of our recon process We’ve been able to work our days in recon down as a result. Now the sales staff has a much clearer view of the process and how quickly it’s running — and they have more confidence in it, so when they see a car that comes in, they know when they’ll be able to sell it. The enthusiasm is much higher because we have a much more efficient process. When salespeople don’t have confidence in your process, they’re going to shy away from selling certain things. When you get your sales staff more engaged, naturally the profit is going to go up.

We have various vendors that we use for reconditioning, spread out all over town, and I always had the suspicion that there was lag — delays in vehicles getting frontline ready. My premise was that the time we were losing with vehicles sitting idle, waiting for a different step in the reconditioning process, was costing us money: frozen capital, interest expense on the floor plan, pick your poison. We needed to know where our inventory was and how long it was there. What the TrueSpot team has been able to do is work with us to understand and develop all of our reconditioning workflows. A traditional dealership has a lot of that stuff under one roof, but we have to use vendors. By installing the tracking equipment at all of our vendor locations, now I have the ability to track it, and I’ve seen results. Just in the last four months, we’ve shaved off two days from our average recon time. That’s 20 percent, and I still think there’s an opportunity to improve from there.

When first speaking with TrueSpot about this time last year, I informed them of one problem I was trying to solve, and TrueSpot assured me they could solve that problem. The problem I wanted to solve was reducing wasted time for our associates finding new/used cars. The service, sales, and detail departments all had people looking for new and used cars all day, every day, and it would sometimes take 20+ minutes to locate a single car. TrueSpot has helped reduce that time wasted, and greatly increase efficiency. Whether it’s a customer showing up to see a car, a technician looking for their next used car inspection, or a detailer looking for their next car to clean, TrueSpot tells them exactly where to find the car. This product is a big WIN for each department of the dealership. I can’t think of a vendor or service I’ve used recently that could provide a better ROI than TrueSpot. Your associates will thank you for the investment, just like ours have. Plus, the people that makeup TrueSpot are really great to work with!

Since we implemented TrueSpot, we have been rewarded 1000s of dollars of savings from lost key costs and truly a redefinition of how we manage inventory operations. TrueSpot is a game changer for us!

TrueSpot is amazing at how quickly it fixed a fundamental problem of the dealership that we never thought would go away. And I mean quick. Within a span of 4 days, our 4 location dealership spread across town was done. Every gateway installed, every vehicle tagged. And the second day we had the system we are already finding lost keys. With the size of some of our locations, we wasted immeasurable amounts of time looking for keys and cars. Now our technicians have one less thing to complain about. The phrase, “I can’t find this car,” is almost become a joke about a time long in the past.
