ReconLogic

What ReconLogic does

ReconLogic is a service brand of Xcite Automotive that provides comprehensive on-site automotive reconditioning services to dealerships and dealer groups. The offering bundles physical reconditioning work (Paintless Dent Repair, Touch-Up, Window Tint, Paint Protection Film) with detailing, photography, and ancillary services (window stickers via VehicleStickers.io, PureVIN, image backgrounding) into a managed, one-vendor workflow delivered at the dealer location. The company's core technology is the proprietary "Frontline Recon" platform, which digitizes the reconditioning workflow, provides real-time status updates per vehicle, and enables communication between Xcite's field team and dealership staff.

ReconLogic's broader technology stack sits within the Xcite Automotive portfolio and includes the Frontline platform (Overview, Photos, Gallery, Studio, Showcase modules), an AI Platform, an AI Image Suite, a 360 Capture Platform with Interactive 360, and a Video Platform. Sub-brands VehicleStickers.io and CarStudioPros extend the product line into window-sticker generation and studio photography services. The business is positioned as a one-stop-shop for vehicle preparation, eliminating the need for dealerships to coordinate multiple vendors and reducing double-invoicing and inventory-management friction.

The revenue model is professional services: quote-based, pay-as-you-go billing with customizable bundled packages. The go-to-market is direct-to-dealer through the company website (with "Get a Quote" and "Contact Us" CTAs) and field sales. Target segments are automotive dealerships (primary), multi-location dealer groups, specialty dealerships, and OEMs. The company is private, headquartered in Chicago, and operates as a service brand under Xcite Automotive. No funding rounds, revenue figures, headcount, or management roster beyond CEO Phil Penton are publicly disclosed.
