How to Search for Keys

Stop wasting time searching for vehicle keys. Instantly locate any key across your main lot, storage areas, or even service bays directly from your computer or mobile device. Our intuitive map interface shows you exactly where every key is, 24/7. Streamline operations, speed up test drives, and conduct inventory audits in minutes, not hours.

Set Up & Customize Zones for Your Dealership

Your dealership is divided into many spaces, lots, departments, floors and locations, both indoors and outdoors and even at third-party locations like detailers, reconditioning or collision repair. RecovR helps you track and it can be very helpful to have visibility of every car still in that zone, or to know when a car leaves an assigned zone after hours! We'll set up your zones for you the first time, but you can easily adapt them as needed over time.  

Advanced Geofencing & Unauthorized Movement Alerts

Protect your assets proactively. Create custom virtual boundaries (geofences) around your dealership, specific zones, or service areas. Receive immediate email or push notifications if a vehicle enters or exits a designated zone without authorization, helping prevent theft and track unauthorized use before it becomes a major issue.

Stolen Vehicle Recovery Assistance

Minimize losses from theft with powerful recovery support. In the unfortunate event of a theft, RecovR provides precise, real-time location data (powered by a device you know is active thanks to battery monitoring) that you can share directly with law enforcement to significantly speed up recovery efforts. Protect your valuable floor plan and reduce insurance headaches.

Comprehensive Dealer Dashboard

Get a bird's-eye view of your entire RecovR-protected inventory. Our central dashboard provides at-a-glance information on device status (including battery health), recent alerts, and overall fleet distribution. Manage your assets efficiently from one powerful, easy-to-use interface.

Selling RecovR to New Car Buyers for F&I Profit

RecovR isn't just an operational tool; it's a high-value product your customers want. Offer RecovR in your F&I office as a premium security and convenience add-on. Selling RecovR is simple. Just mark it as sold in your eContracting system or in the RecovR Portal, provide the customer's e-mail address, an they'll receive the instructions they need to set up their own RecovR account and get immediate access to their vehicle's location.

Pair New Key Inventory Quickly and Easily

Get up and running quickly every time new keys arrive on the lat. Our platform makes it easy to activate, assign, and manage RecovR for Keys tags for your inventory. Simply tie the key number to the tag number, and you'll be tracking keys on your dealership more efficiently than ever before!

User Roles & Permissions

Maintain control over data access within your dealership. Assign specific roles and permissions to different team members (e.g., sales managers, lot attendants, F&I) ensuring staff only see the information relevant to their job function.

How to Find Keys by Making Them Ring

You know who checked it out, but where is it now? That's the question that other systems leave hanging. With RecovR for Keys, you'll always be able to track a key down to an office or a service bay, then make it beep and flash in order to find even in the most hidden of places!

RecovR Device Health Monitoring (Low Battery Alerts)

Maintain uninterrupted asset protection. RecovR monitors its own internal battery level and alerts you proactively when it's running low (which under normal circumstances only happens after five years!). This ensures your tracking device remains active and your vehicle's location data is consistently available, guaranteeing continuous visibility for lot management and ensuring the system is ready for crucial stolen vehicle recovery efforts.

Deactivate a Locator (Vehicle-Only Sale)

Sometimes it happens; a new car buyer decides not to purchase RecovR. It can easily be unpaired from a vehicle by marking it as a "Vehicle Only Sale" in the system or through your DMS. You then remove RecovR from the vehicle and it can be installed in the next new arrival on your lot, making RecovR a zero-loss product.
