Recon by Tradia
Every car from trade-in to front line, tracked by text.
Add Recon to your team’s group text and let it keep the board.
$799 a month, setup included. You review payment in Stripe before anything is charged. Already a customer? Sign in.
In daily use at a dealership since April 2026.
A few things you can text.
Text it like you’d
tell the shop.
Start a message with “Recon,” give the stock number and say what changed. Recon puts it on the car’s record and confirms in the thread, so nobody has to retype it later.
It works in the group text your team already uses. Messages that aren’t for Recon, it leaves alone.
Keep sold
cars moving.
The board shows every car in recon: how far along it is, what’s holding it up and how long it’s been in. Days count from the day the RO opens.
Tell Recon which cars are sold, urgent or on hold. A sold car stays in recon until the work is finished, so the team can see what still needs doing.

Know who has it.
And where it is.
Give Recon the technician, advisor or location by name. It keeps the car’s record current as work moves between people and places.
Ask what’s with a technician, at the body shop or waiting in detail. Get the cars that match, right in the thread.
Ask before you
walk the lot.
Sales wants to know if a car is ready. A manager wants the cars that have waited longest. Ask Recon in the thread and it answers from the record.
Plans change.
The record stays together.
A car needs another pass through mechanical. A stock number changes. A wholesale decision gets reversed. Tell Recon, and keep working from the same vehicle record.
Reopen mechanical or detail, correct an RO total at any stage, or bring a wholesale car back into recon. Its notes and history stay with it.
We set it up.
You keep texting.
Our team adds Recon to your group text within 24 hours of signing up. Tracking recon in a spreadsheet today? We’ll bring your cars over, with stock numbers, stages and notes.
Your other software stays where it is.
One plan.
$799 a month.
Recon in your group text and the shared board. Setup by our team within 24 hours, help bringing over your spreadsheet, and quick-response support while your team gets started.
Billed monthly. You review payment in Stripe before anything is charged.
Before you
bring Recon in.
Which phones and messaging apps work?
Recon is in use through Apple Messages group conversations. The shared board works in any web browser. If your team uses Android or another messaging app, talk with us about your setup before adding Recon.
What if Recon gets something wrong?
Check the car on the board. Your team can correct the record there, or tell Recon in the thread: “Recon, 24830 RO is 6104421.” Every change shows up in the car’s timeline.
Who can see our dealership’s data?
The board requires sign-in and keeps vehicle records scoped to your dealership’s account. Updates posted in the group text are visible to that group. Talk with us about your data-handling requirements.
Do we have to replace our DMS?
No. Recon keeps the recon record next to the software you already use. If you track recon in a spreadsheet, we can bring those records over. Importing doesn’t sync your other systems.
