Frontline-ready,
faster.
Get every acquired vehicle frontline-ready faster and cheaper by coordinating lot reps, recon techs, and outside vendors — and making bottlenecks visible.
lotgentix.comEvery day a car sits in recon costs you cash.
You feel it twice: the carrying cost of every stalled unit, and the sale you didn’t make because the car never hit the line.
Floorplan carry
Interest accrues on every vehicle, every day — whether it’s selling or sitting behind the shop waiting on a dent guy.
Depreciation
Used-vehicle values move weekly. A car stuck in recon is a car losing value before a customer ever sees it.
Missed turns
Faster frontline means the same lot supports more sales per year. Slow recon quietly caps your volume.
Twelve days to frontline is the quiet leak.
A typical store runs ~12 days from acquisition to frontline-ready. Stores on Lotgentix target 7. Here’s what that gap looks like at 100 units a month:
The vehicle is the workflow — not just an inventory row.
Defects become issues
A scratch spotted on the lot walk isn’t a text message or a sticky note. It’s a photographed, tracked issue attached to the car.
Issues become jobs
Managers route each issue to an in-house tech, your own vendor, or the Glide network — in seconds, from an inbox.
Work advances the car
When the job is done, the car automatically moves down its pipeline toward frontline. No one has to remember to update a board.
Bottlenecks become visible
The wallboard and stuck-car signals show exactly which cars are aging, where, and why — before they become month-end surprises.
One loop, from lot walk to frontline.
Photos in, work routed, car advanced — with SMS nudges and vendor links so nobody has to live in another portal.
Follow one car through the system.
On the wall
The car lands on the board your GM watches — stages left to right toward frontline.
Flagged as stuck
It sits too long in one stage. The board says so before anyone has to ask.
Lot walk finds a dent
Your lot rep snaps a photo on their phone. The defect is now an issue on the car.
Manager triages
From the inbox: in-house or vendor? One tap routes it.
Vendor gets a link
The PDR shop gets a job link by text — no logins, no new software to learn.
Work completes
The vendor marks it done with a photo. The loop closes.
Car advances
Completion moves the car down the pipeline automatically.
Frontline, sooner
Days earlier than your current process — on every car, every month.
Two tracks, one system.
Used / recon
in transit → awaiting inspection → in recon → needs detail → in detail → photos needed → frontline ready
New car (PDI)
in transit → PDI prep → photos needed → frontline ready
Stages and dwell targets are configured to match how your store actually works — during launch, with our team.
Built for every seat on the lot.
GM / used-car director
The TV wallboard and stuck-car signals: days, cash, and visibility at a glance — single store or across the group.
Manager on triage
An inbox of captured issues; route each to in-house or vendor with defaults that learn your preferences.
Lot rep
A phone-first lot walk: photograph defects, done. SMS magic links mean no password gymnastics in the cold.
Recon tech
A simple “my work” queue. Completing a job can advance the car — no status meetings required.
Outside vendors
Token job links and SMS — your dent guy doesn’t need a full portal login to receive, do, and close work.
Controller
The ROI model on your numbers, in a shareable link you can refine together — floorplan, depreciation, and turns.
The bottleneck can’t hide anymore.
Wallboard
A live TV board for the showroom or the recon shop: every car, every stage, days on lot — moving left to right toward the line.
Stuck-car signals
Cars aging past your dwell targets get flagged automatically. That’s the ROI leak, pointed at, in real time.
SMS nudges & digests
Opt-in texts for the people doing the work; digest summaries for the people watching it. No inbox babysitting.
Your ROI, on your numbers.
Our public ROI calculator takes your monthly units, your honest days-to-frontline, and your carry costs — and shows the shape of the upside. No login, and the URL saves your scenario.
- Cash freed from fewer days of floorplan and depreciation carry
- Extra units per year when faster turn frees the same lot for more cars
- Payback multiple against the monthly price — toggle off anything you distrust; it usually still pays
Live in days, not months.
One launch sheet
Your roster, your specialists, your routing preferences — one form, and our team maps it into the product for you.
Your cars appear
We pull inventory from CDK so the board is your real cars from day one. CSV works as a fallback.
Chaperoned go-live
We sit with you through setup and the first lot walk. Minimum viable team: one lot walker and one manager.
- Day 1 — first real capture and triage, together
- Day 7 — dwell review and routing tweaks
- Day 30 — measure against the win we wrote down before you signed
Pick one rooftop.
Pick one number.
A pilot store, your honest days-to-frontline today, and a 30–60 day win we agree on in writing. We’ll run the ROI with your controller and put your first car through the loop.
Lotgentix doesn’t replace your DMS — it sits on top and makes recon move.
