When do you know it's time to revamp and change
to a work flow technology solution?
When the mandate is "Recon needs to get fixed."
-or-
"I want cars to the front line in 72 hours!"

1. Lack of accountability - every car should be in the right step at the end of every day
2. Lack of transparency – answer to the questions "where's that car?" "Who has it"
3. Cut Inventory Cycle Time - Cars not getting to the frontline fast enough
4. Increase gross and eliminate Holding costs - without cutting expenses or increasing prices
5. You are committed - to the measurement and management of "Time-to-Market"
