The inspection is only the beginning
Finding the issue is easy. Converting it into the right work, owner, approval, and sequence is where recon starts to fragment.
Built for dealership reconditioning
From vehicle findings to coordinated recon work.
NextPhase Recon turns inspection findings into structured work, maps what can move in parallel and what must wait, then routes the next action to the right person.

The problem
Recon breaks down at the handoffs.
Dealerships already know what needs to be fixed. The harder problem is translating those findings into coordinated work without turning a manager into the human workflow engine.
Parallel work becomes serial
Tasks that could move together wait because the team is coordinating through people instead of a shared dependency model.
Managers become the routing layer
The recon manager spends time re-explaining, checking, chasing, and deciding what can move next.
Every role sees too much or too little
Employees, managers, and vendors need different context. A single generic work list does not match how the operation actually runs.
How it works
One description becomes an executable workflow.
NextPhase Recon keeps Artificial Intelligence interpretation separate from deterministic business logic: AI understands the messy input; the application controls approvals, routing, dependencies, and task state.
01
Capture
An employee or manager describes the vehicle issues once in plain language and can attach photos when context matters.
02
Structure
Artificial Intelligence (AI) interprets the findings into structured work while dealership rules stay deterministic.
03
Orchestrate
Recon builds the vehicle-specific task graph, separating parallel work from dependencies, approvals, and blockers.
04
Execute
Managers, employees, and vendors each get the information and next action their role actually needs.
Core differentiation
The task graph is the operating model.
Recon is not just a list of work orders. Each vehicle gets a graph that represents what is ready, what is blocked, what needs approval, and what can happen at the same time.
Parallel work can start without waiting for unrelated tasks.
Blocked work carries the reason it cannot move yet.
Approval gates stay in the workflow instead of living in someone's memory.

Inside NextPhase Recon
The operation is visible without becoming complicated.
Managers get the full operational picture. Employees get focused work. Vendors get scoped secure access. The same vehicle workflow sits underneath every view.
The interface follows the same calm visual system as the product: neutral surfaces, NextPhase orange for action, and status colors only when they communicate state.

Current dealership setup flow
Real capture from the current NextPhase Recon application.
Attention before dashboards
The manager home is organized around exceptions, approvals, blockers, vendor timing, and vehicles that actually need intervention—not vanity metrics.
Access matches the role
Employees authenticate into their own workspace. Vendors remain accountless and are limited to secure task-specific links.
Role-specific by design
One workflow. A different experience for each person.
NextPhase Recon keeps every role on the same vehicle workflow without forcing everyone into the same interface. Owner, Manager, Employee, and Vendor each see the context and actions appropriate to their job.
See the operation
Owner
Track Recon Cycle Time, current cycle health, bottlenecks, and aggregate exceptions without living inside every task.
- Performance overview
- Cycle health
- Bottleneck visibility
- Administration

Manager
Run the daily operation from the exceptions, approvals, blockers, active vehicles, and handoffs that actually need intervention.
- Operational attention

- Ready work
- Vehicle context
- Issue reporting
- Task completion
Act without an account
Vendor
Receive assigned work through a secure, limited link so an outside vendor can acknowledge, start, and complete the job without a Recon account.
- Secure task link
- No account required
- Status + completion
- Time-bound access
Validation V1
The smallest product that proves the workflow.
V1 stays intentionally focused on the inspection-to-task-graph-to-execution loop. It is not trying to replace every dealership system.
Natural-language issue capture
Describe findings as they are discovered instead of translating them into administrative fields first.
Structured work creation
Convert findings into consistent work items tied to the correct vehicle and work category.
Task dependencies
Show what can start now, what can run in parallel, and what must wait on another task.
Manager approvals
Hold approval-sensitive work at the right point in the workflow without losing the surrounding context.
Authenticated employee views
Employees sign in and see focused work for their role rather than the full manager workspace.
Secure vendor links
Outside vendors act through limited, time-bound links instead of creating full dealership accounts.
Photo evidence
Keep visual evidence attached to the vehicle and work it belongs to.
Email notifications
Send the operational handoff without adding another dealership inbox or messaging system to monitor.
Focused validation scope.
Broader automation, enterprise controls, advanced analytics, and deeper integrations stay outside this validation scope until the core workflow is proven.
Simple launch pricing
One plan while we prove the core workflow.
Validation V1 is intentionally simple: the current Recon workflow is offered at one flat monthly price instead of hiding the product behind tier complexity before the core operating model is proven.
