Carketa Reviews
Pros
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.
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.
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.
Very disappointed in how many errors we have had to report and get fixed.
"Carketa user for 3+ Years"
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.
Vendor Response
"Necessary for Growing your Dealer"
Overall: 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.
"Daily User. Liked the old carketa much more."
Overall: 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.

"Game Changer"
Overall: Reconditioning efficiencies Online transactions Customer experience Customer communication Accounting efficiency
Pros: CarKeta has allowed us to spend more time selling and less time chasing cars around. It has significantly improved the overall organization of our business. The digital condition reports also gives consumers the transparency and trust they have been looking for “the missing piece to digital retail”.
Cons: The organization of their products could be a little better but I think they are releasing a full product menu this month.
"Carketa is essential for inventory management"
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!
