In this episode of Cue The Next Leader, Chief Marketing Officer Michael Hopkins sits down with Dave Janssen, Owner of Janssen Auto Group in Holdrege, Nebraska.
Background
Janssen Auto Group, a family-owned business based in Nebraska, operates seven franchises across four cities, representing brands like RAM, Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, and Honda. Since joining the business in 1998, Dave Janssen, alongside his brother Dan, has helped expand the group from a single Chrysler store in McCook to a multi-rooftop operation known for smart growth and a strong customer focus.
Despite ongoing industry challenges like parts shortages and inventory imbalances, the group turned to VINCUE to support continued growth and drive smarter operations with better tools.
Disconnected Systems. Rising Costs. Sound Familiar?
Before partnering with VINCUE, Janssen Auto Group was operating on legacy platforms that came with a hefty price tag and limited value. Like many dealers, they faced the frustrating challenge of disconnected systems, disconnected data, and rising costs.
With seven rooftops to manage, staying efficient and profitable across locations required more than just status quo tools. Their previous solutions fell short on essential needs like marketing support, real-time market insights, and cross-department collaboration. It was clear they needed a platform that could actually deliver on performance, and justify the investment.
The Power of One Platform Working Across the Dealership
Janssen Auto Group uses VINCUE to streamline operations, improve inventory visibility, and speed up vehicle readiness. Real-time updates connect sales and service teams, reducing miscommunication and delays. VINCUE also strengthens their marketing operations, tools like Service-to-Sales and Description Builder help them create better listings faster. With live market data and clearer insights, their team prices smarter, stocks better, and responds to customers with confidence.
Endless Efficiency
VINCUE has transformed inventory management for Janssen Auto Group by consolidating multiple tools into one user-friendly platform that provides accurate, real-time data. This shift has streamlined their processes and boosted efficiency, freeing up valuable time to tackle industry challenges like recon part shortages and evolving marketing demands.
With solutions like Service-to-Sales, VINCUE Boost, and Description Builder, Janssen has turned recon delays into opportunities, strategically acquiring inventory and saving money while strengthening customer relationships in their rural communities. They’re also able to focus marketing efforts where it matters most: on vehicles that need a push, rather than ones they know will sell quickly.

New to the VINCUE family, and I’m very impressed with the immediate support provided by the team. Charlie Basham has been a key factor in getting the dealership started on a great path with the VINCUE system. He has been very responsive to my questions and has made sure I can navigate the key reports and understand the process used. Cheyenne Currier has also been very responsive with merchandising uploads needed by the dealership. I look forward to working with the VINCUE Team in the future.

I use VINCUE on a daily basis and cannot imagine using any other platform. It’s user friendly with it’s drop down menu and search bar at the top of the page. So much so that I haven’t had the need to use live rep assistance as of yet.
