Delivery Prep & Cleanup

Delivery prep that prioritizes itself.

Detail bays don't get faster by every salesperson marking their car 'urgent.' DealerIQ separates sold vehicle delivery prep from lot recon and showroom clean, prioritizes automatically from real delivery signals, and gives the cleanup crew a shared queue instead of a clipboard. (In DealerIQ, recon means delivery cleanup and prep — not RO management or mechanical reconditioning.)

What's inside

Built around how the work actually happens.

Sold vehicle delivery detail

Open from the delivery card — cleanup crew sees customer, appointment, and vehicle in one tap.

Lot recon & showroom clean

Aged inventory cleanup and showroom presentation get their own queue, separate from same-day delivery prep.

Add-on prep workflow

PPF, ceramic, and accessory installs flagged with extra lead time so they don't ambush Saturday morning.

Damage & missing-item flags

Dings, missing keys, missing floor mats — flagged on the card, visible to sales, finance, and the GM.

IQ scheduling logic

Prep jobs sort themselves by delivery time, appointment type, and add-on lead time.

Auto priority

Salespeople cannot mark a unit urgent. Priority is computed from delivery time, type, and add-ons.

Who uses this workflow

Built for the people moving the cars.

  • Detail / Prep Manager
    The full delivery prep and lot recon queue, by priority, with appointment times attached.
  • Cleanup Crew
    Their next prep job on a phone with exactly what's needed.
  • Salesperson
    Live prep status of their delivery — but cannot change priority.
  • GM / Ops Manager
    Bottlenecks before they cascade into late deliveries.
Chaos it prevents

The fire drills this kills.

  • Customer arrives, car isn't washed.
  • Everyone's car is 'urgent' so nothing is.
  • PPF jobs ambushing the schedule on Saturday morning.
  • Lot recon and sold-deal prep fighting for the same bay.
