Janssen Auto Group Boosts Multi-Rooftop Operations with VINCUE

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
