EasyRecon setup

Set up recon software around the way your store works.

By EasyRecon · Last updated July 9, 2026

You can log in and add your team the same day you sign up. We map your recon steps around the way your store works, and feed timing depends on your inventory provider.

No standard setup fee. Any custom implementation work is quoted in writing. Month-to-month, no long-term contract.

The short answer

Setup is not a mystery project. You sign up, get access the same day, add your team, and map your steps yourself — no long implementation to sit through.

The one honest caveat is timing: the inventory feed moves at the provider's pace, not ours.

Setup terms, in plain English.

Every EasyRecon store gets the same terms, in writing, before go-live.

No standard setup fee. Any custom implementation work is quoted in writing.
Billing starts at go-live You are not billed until your workflow is live, unless a written order says otherwise.
Month-to-month No long-term contract. You stay because the board earns its place, not because you are locked in.
Your process, your names Map your real recon steps and adjust them yourself anytime.

What EasyRecon setup covers.

Three things have to be right before go-live: who has access, whether the steps match reality, and where inventory comes from.

Who works the board

Access first

We start with the people who need the board, the roles they own, and the login access required to work safely. Configured frontline techs and vendors can use text-friendly updates for supported actions.

Your workflow, not ours

Your steps

You can rename and reorder steps yourself, and we help you clean things up later once the data shows where cars wait.

No double entry

Inventory flows in automatically

Once your inventory feed is connected, EasyRecon pulls your inventory in automatically, so there is no manual spreadsheet entry.

Your steps, your names. The board mirrors how your shop already moves a car — with a green, yellow, or red flag on every step so nothing ages out of sight. Illustrative example with sample data — not a live store.

The setup sequence.

The goal is to get your store into a board your people can use confidently, with access, steps, and feed timing understood first.

  1. Request a demo.Use the demo to look at your recon flow, current bottlenecks, and whether EasyRecon fits the way your store works.
  2. Get login access and add your team.Managers and power users get app access. Configured team members and vendors can use text-friendly updates for supported actions.
  3. Map your current recon steps and names.We build the first board around your current steps and names, then adjust from there.
  4. Confirm the inventory feed path.Feed timing depends on the provider. We confirm your store's inventory feed path before your team depends on the board.
  5. Train staff and go live when the workflow is ready.Training should match the role each person plays.

The safest setup is honest about what is ready. Pricing is tailored to your store.

Use setup to make the board believable.

A recon board only works if the team trusts it. That means the steps match reality, the right people can update the right things, and the feed path is confirmed before the board becomes the source of truth. The first time your used-car manager pulls the board up in the Monday meeting, the steps have to match what's actually happening in the shop.

If you are still comparing whether software is worth it, start with the plain-language recon software overview. If you are replacing an older workflow, read the switching notes. For the money side, the holding-cost worksheet and cycle-time guide explain why setup quality matters. And if you are still evaluating tools before you commit, our guide on how to choose recon software walks through what to compare.

Ready means ready. EasyRecon setup shouldn't create one more thing to clean up. Go-live happens when access, workflow, feed path, and staff training are ready enough — not a day sooner. All the benefits of a recon tool without the pain of using one.

You get real help. You'll barely need it.

Setup is closer to signing up for a streaming service than to old legacy software. You can do it yourself in the app, and a real person is on the other end whenever you want one.

Do it yourself

Set it up like Netflix

Sign up and you have access the same day. Add your team and map your steps yourself in the app — or hand it to us and we set it up with you on a call.

Answers on the spot

The Help Center does the explaining

Watch a short video, search a question, or ask the built-in AI to walk you through any part of the board. Patient, instant answers — so a new hire can figure it out without waiting on anyone.

A real person

A hands-on Performance Manager

Not a number no one answers. Your Performance Manager helps clean up the workflow, read the board, and keep tightening the process after go-live.

Questions dealers ask about setup.

Straight answers on speed, feeds, logins, training, and billing — no overclaiming.

Speed & sequence

How fast can we get set up?

You can get app access and add your team the same day you sign up. Mapping your steps and confirming the feed path follow from there, once we know who needs access and how your process works.

What happens during EasyRecon setup?

We add your team, map your current recon steps, confirm the inventory feed path, and train the people who will use the system day to day. The goal is getting your store into a workflow your people can work from every day.

Can EasyRecon use our current recon steps?

Yes. EasyRecon starts from the recon steps your store already runs, not a template you have to fit into.

Feeds & logins

Does EasyRecon connect to our inventory feed?

Yes. Once your feed is connected, inventory loads automatically. Support depends on your provider, so we confirm your store's feed path before go-live.

What if our inventory feed is not supported yet?

We review how your store gets inventory data before go-live. Some paths are straightforward. Others may need a different import or feed plan. The safe answer comes after we know your provider.

Do vendors or techs need logins?

Managers and power users work in the app. Configured frontline roles and vendors can use text-friendly updates for supported actions, including a car lookup or step update.

Training, billing & terms

Do you train our staff?

Yes. Training should be role-specific. Managers need the board, reports, approvals, and process view. Frontline users need the few actions they actually own.

What happens after go-live?

Setup is not the handoff. EasyRecon keeps helping with training, workflow cleanup, performance management, and ongoing optimization after launch.

Is there a setup fee, and when does billing start?

No standard setup fee. Any custom implementation work is quoted in writing. Billing starts at go-live unless a written order says otherwise.

Who does the setup work?

You can set up and adjust your recon steps yourself, and we hand-hold the rest. We help add your team, confirm your feed path, train each role, and keep optimizing the workflow after go-live.

Is EasyRecon month-to-month?

Yes. Month-to-month, no long-term contract.
