Dealership Vehicle Cleanup Tracker

Dealership delivery prep tracking the rest of the store actually uses

Most clean-up and prep work lives in a clipboard the rest of the store never sees. DealerIQ is a dealership vehicle cleanup tracker built into a shared delivery board — so the same readiness signal the detail bay sets is what sales quotes the customer. (DealerIQ is not a service repair, RO, or mechanical reconditioning platform.)

Prep status that nobody outside the detail bay can see

The traditional clipboard in the detail bay is invisible to everyone outside it. Sales calls the detail lead. F&I texts the manager. The GM walks the lot to check on a single VIN.

The cost is real: missed deliveries, surprise wash-outs at handoff, and a CSI hit no one can trace back to the clipboard.

One board for cleanup, delivery, sales, and finance

DealerIQ tracks every sold vehicle's cleanup and prep with a lead time, a named owner, and live status — and surfaces that status on the same board sales and finance live in.

When a vehicle is at risk, the delivery card lights up the same color. When it's prepped and ready, the appointment slot turns green. No phone calls.

What's inside

  • Shared readiness, not a separate tab

    Cleanup and prep status is part of the delivery card — visible to sales, F&I, and managers without opening another tool.

  • Owner per prep job

    Each cleanup, detail, or lot recon job has a named owner and a target time. Slips alert that owner the same day.

  • Delivery prep vs. lot recon queues

    Same-day sold-vehicle prep is separated from aged-unit lot cleanup so they don't fight for the same bay.

  • Add-on aware scheduling

    PPF, ceramic, accessory installs, and showroom clean get extra lead time so they don't ambush Saturday morning.

  • Damage and missing-item log

    Dings, missing keys, missing floor mats — flagged on the card, not in a side conversation.

  • Delivery-ready reports

    On-time delivery prep rate, average cleanup time per unit, and at-risk handoffs surfaced for the GM.

Why DealerIQ

  • Cleanup, delivery, finance, and back-office on one live board — not five disconnected tools.
  • Built for delivery operations, not service accounting. Reports are designed for the GM and the delivery coordinator.
  • Works alongside your DMS, CRM, and service tools. No migration. Live in a week.

Frequently asked questions

What does DealerIQ mean by 'recon'?

In DealerIQ, recon refers to vehicle clean-up and delivery prep — sold vehicle cleanup, delivery detail, lot recon, showroom clean, and vehicle readiness for customer handoff. DealerIQ is not a repair order, mechanical reconditioning, or fixed-ops platform.

What does a dealership vehicle cleanup tracker do?

It shows, in real time, whether each sold vehicle is clean, prepped, and ready for the customer. The status is shared with sales, finance, and managers on the delivery board, so the store coordinates on the same picture.

Will the detail and lot crew actually use it?

Yes — they run DealerIQ on a phone with only their assigned jobs and large tap targets. Managers get the full desktop view. Adoption is the entire point of the design.

How long does it take to roll out DealerIQ at a rooftop?

Most stores are live on the board within a week. There is no data migration — DealerIQ runs alongside your existing DMS and CRM, and your team starts using it the same day.
