OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. — iRecon announced the introduction of the all-new iRecon: Vendor, a mobile application designed to help U.S. and Canadian vendors more efficiently and effectively manage their workloads and dealer interactions across the reconditioning process.

Acquired by vAuto (div. Cox Automotive) in 2018, iRecon helps control, manage, and maximize the entire reconditioning workflow, said Mike Boyd, the company’s founder and senior director of business enablement, noting it is vital for dealers to consider new options as service bays operate at or near full capacity — a critical concern, according to the 2018 Cox Automotive Service Industry Study.

“As dealers fight to remain profitable, optimizing the reconditioning process is more important than ever. Every extra day it takes to get a vehicle frontline-ready impacts a dealership’s turn rate and bottom line,” Boyd said. “With iRecon: Vendor, our vendor partners have the access, transparency, and controlled workflow they need to minimize delays and meet the challenges facing today’s dealers.”
