South Dade Auto Group: Driving Efficiency and Results

The Challenge
South Dade Auto Group, which operates three stores, was struggling with inefficiencies in its used-vehicle operations. The team was experiencing a slow inventory turn rate of about 8 times per year, and vehicles were taking anywhere from 8 to 10 days, sometimes up to 30, to become sale-ready.
These delays were largely due to a lack of visibility and communication across departments like the BDC, service, and sales. Their appraisal process was fragmented and required toggling between multiple platforms, while getting vehicles listed online took extra time because photos had to be manually staged and edited for quality.

“VINCUE brought everything under one roof—it’s like having one platform that finally speaks the same language across all departments.”

The solution
To streamline operations, South Dade implemented VINCUE’s Vehicle Lifecycle platform. By integrating Rapid Recon, they significantly reduced the time it took to get vehicles front-line ready. The platform also unified data access across departments, eliminating the need for constant check-ins and phone calls.
VINCUE’s MaxOffer integration transformed the appraisal process, allowing team members to evaluate vehicles on the spot with permission-based access. Additionally, the built-in AI background removal tool sped up the listing process by automatically cleaning up vehicle photos, saving time and resources.
RESULTS
300% Turn Improvement: From 8x to 23x with VINCUE tools
64% Faster Time-to-Line: Cut from 10 days to 3.6 days
Streamlined Communication
AI-Powered Merchandising
The impact
After implementing VINCUE, South Dade’s inventory turn rate skyrocketed from around 8 to 23 times per year, an almost 300% increase. Their time-to-line dropped dramatically from roughly 10 days to just 3.6. The entire team, from sales to service, became more aligned and efficient, working from the same real-time data and insights.
Appraisals became faster and more consistent, and the dealership’s online listings now feature clean, professional photos without the need for manual editing. The overall result has been smoother operations, faster sales cycles, improved employee collaboration, and a better customer experience.

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.
