## What is Carketa?

Carketa is the dealership decision intelligence system that helps automotive dealers turn inventory faster with better visibility. From acquisition to sale, we make every step easier for the entire team at the dealership. With live market data from more than 20 million vehicle listings plus customizable reconditioning and inspection templates, managing inventory has never been easier. Carketa was founded in 2018 & built by dealers looking for better reconditioning and inspection software.

Pros

As an independent dealer with multiple locations, the new location filter on Carketa is a great asset for us! Before this feature was implemented, it was more time consuming for our store managers to see where their vehicles were in the recon process. Now our managers can easily identify where their vehicles are without the clutter of the vehicles from other locations. Another benefit for us is being able to compare metrics between stores which was not possible before. This allows us to properly optimize inventory flow and identify inefficiencies for each store.

Cons

I have no complaints, everything from the software to customer service has been excellent!

Highly recommend this , we have had it for less than a month and it has already helped significantly in processes taking time away in a good way to put time elsewhere .

Pros

Smooth sailing onboarding. Helped us ship a car right away that saved 700$ so it basically paid for itself day one.

Cons

Talked about implementing a easier tagging option for ordering parts to notify direct contact on approval in recon

Awesome! It's so nice to be away from a task manager system/whiteboard

Pros

I love how it manages my entire recon process for me. I know what is happening with every car at all times.

Cons

When you have as much inventory as we do it can be slow at times loading, but I know they constantly have speed at the top of their minds so I'm not too worried about it.

Old carketa, great. New carketa, not great.

Pros

Beats using pen/pad/word of mouth to keep track of vehicles and their needs.

Cons

\*More complicated to get to information pertinent to parts ordering and repair (submodel/awd or fwd/ engine size and model/ect...) \*Comment section all funky. When I have been notified of a comment it takes me to a page with all the comments for everything on it without even telling which vehicle were talking about. I have to click again and go to another page to find all the info im looking for.

Pros

Now it's simple. You get the keys, you get the Carketa sticker on there and you get the car put into the recon process.

Cons

The only inconvenience I've ran into is the necessity to have to email reps to get more stickers, is there a auto-delivery system?

I love customer service and the way they help us improve our work. I also love that it still hasn't become slow, I thought it was going to work fast 1-2 months but it's still working very fast

What I least liked about Carketa is that we didn't have reports for 1-2 months, now the excellent customer service I solve it and we have our daily reports

Pros

Our favorite feature of Carketa is the reconditioning tool tracking ability - the abilty to see where any of our dealership's vehicles are at any one particular time in the recon process.

Cons

Somtimes Carketa is diffcult to use, functionality-wise. It provides a lot of information, and sometimes too much. We do not use all of the features.

Alternatives considered

[Rapid Recon](https://www.capterra.com/p/191074/Rapid-Recon/)

Reasons for choosing Carketa

Price, Value, Ease of Use. We demo'd about 3 different products a few years ago, but Carketa (then Greenlight Recon) was a fledging company and implemented a lot of the ideas we had.
