If you're still using a legacy GPS provider like LoJack, it’s time to ask: is your current system helping you grow your business, or holding it back?
‍

The dealership landscape has changed. What once passed for innovation is now outdated. Between rising customer expectations, tighter margins, and a need for more efficient operations, the technology you rely on needs to work smarter, not just harder.

Here are five powerful reasons dealerships across the country are switching from legacy GPS providers to Ikon Technologies:
‍

1. You're Still Paying Upfront for Hardware and Service

Legacy providers often require dealers to pay for hardware and service before the vehicle is sold. That means you're tying up capital in products that may or may not move off the lot.

Ikon changes that. Our consignment-based model allows you to use the system immediately, with no upfront cost. You pay once the vehicle is sold, and you may receive performance-based rebates that directly improve profitability. It’s not just better financing; it’s a smarter business model.

2. Your System Doesn't Track the Keys

You’ve found the vehicle, but where are the keys?

Legacy systems like LoJack can only tell you where the car is. But in real-world dealership operations, misplaced keys are a daily source of wasted time and lost revenue. Ikon solves this with integrated key tracking, helping you locate both the vehicle and its keys instantly. That means faster test drives, fewer service delays, and a better customer experience.

3. Multi-Rooftop Management is a Logistical Headache

Managing multiple rooftops with legacy GPS systems often requires juggling logins, systems, and reporting dashboards, slowing down your team and obscuring big-picture visibility.

Ikon offers true enterprise-level inventory management, allowing you to oversee all locations from a single platform. Whether you're transferring vehicles, onboarding staff, or reviewing activity across rooftops, Ikon brings everything into one, cohesive view.

4. You're Chasing Support, Not Getting It

When something goes wrong, whether it’s during a sale, a customer call, or a service handoff, you don’t have time to sit on hold or wait days for a follow-up.

Ikon delivers multi-layered, high-touch support: customer service teams, virtual account managers, in-store trainers, and dedicated field service managers. We’re not just a vendor, we’re a partner. When your team needs help, they get a real person with real answers.

5. You're Missing Opportunities for Post-Sale Revenue

Legacy systems focus on theft recovery and tracking, but what happens after the sale?

Ikon turns your GPS program into a customer retention engine. With a fully dealership-branded mobile app, mileage-based service alerts, and even a free Business Development Center (BDC) team that proactively contacts customers to schedule maintenance, Ikon helps bring service traffic back through your doors, automatically.

Final Thought: Don’t Let Legacy Hold You Back

The GPS provider you choose shouldn’t just track, it should transform. Ikon Technologies delivers the tools, support, and business model today’s dealerships need to thrive.
