Optimizing Dealership Efficiency: The Benefits of Aligning Variable and Fixed Operations
Watch – Optimizing Automotive Operations: Lessons from Rapid Recon and VINCUE
Dealerships often struggle with communication and workflow inefficiencies between their fixed and variable operations. Used car managers and service teams operate in silos, leading to delays, missed opportunities, and lost profitability. Without a unified system, recon items, vehicle appraisals, and profitability forecasts often become disjointed, requiring manual updates and significant time investment.
The integration of VINCUE inventory management platform with Rapid Recon addresses these challenges by creating a seamless connection between variable and fixed operations. This integration enables used car managers to access real-time data on recon items, prioritize tasks, and calculate their impact on gross profit—all from within VINCUE.
Execution Blueprint:
The integration was built with direct input from dozens of used car managers, ensuring it addressed their most pressing needs:
Delivering Impact:

Dealer Insights:
Angela Rizzo highlights the used car manager’s process:
“The used car manager can look at the list of recon items—say there are 10—and prioritize which five to complete. Then, they assess how that impacts gross or net profit and factor it into the vehicle’s appraisal. It’s a simple but powerful process that increases efficiency and profitability.”
Euwart Anderson adds:
“By integrating workflows, we’ve created a tool that doesn’t just look good but truly delivers value. Dealers can focus on vehicles and customers—not juggling systems. This integration is the first of its kind and a testament to the power of collaboration between VINCUE and Rapid Recon.”
Future Outlook:
The integration is currently in beta testing with select dealers, ensuring it’s ready for full-scale deployment. Both teams are committed to refining the solution based on dealer feedback and further expanding its capabilities to meet evolving market needs.
The VINCUE and Rapid Recon integration exemplifies how technology can bridge operational gaps, drive profitability, and empower dealerships to succeed in a competitive market. Through active collaboration with dealers, both companies continue to innovate and deliver solutions that put their customer’s needs first.

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.
