How it works
Follow one car through Wheelbase
From the moment a VIN is scanned to the moment the car is frontline-ready, here is what changes when nothing can disappear.
Day 0
A VIN is scanned
The car exists in Wheelbase the moment it's yours. The record is decoded and populated in seconds, and the cost clock starts: about $32 per car, per day, while it waits. Every hour before this used to be invisible.
Day 0, an hour later
The condition scan becomes the task list
The inspection auto-generates the recon tasks, mechanical, body, detail, photos, and routes each one to the person who owns it. No manual write-ups, no morning spent typing.
Day 1
The car leaves for the body shop, and stays visible
Vendors update from a link: no app to install, no login to remember, easier than texting back. The board shows who has the car and how long they've had it.
Day 2
Nothing has moved, and Wheelbase says so
Any car stuck 48 hours with no update gets flagged. One dealer found a car had sat nine days at a body shop before learning the shop hadn't even started. The flag catches that stall on day 2, not day 9.
Signoff
Cost-to-date is on screen before the manager approves
Every approval shows what the car has cost so far, so a thin deal is caught before it's locked in, not discovered at the sale.
Frontline-ready
The cycle time is recorded
Days to frontline lands in your recon history. Every car teaches the next one: where the line stalls, which vendors run slow, and what your real cycle time is.
