PROTOS WAVE 2 NOW OPEN FOR NEXT 300 DEALERS

PROTOS WAVE 2 NOW OPEN FOR NEXT 300 DEALERS

Published On: October 29th, 2026Categories: Technology

At UNLEASHED, we introduced VINCUE Protos Intelligence, the entirely new, AI-native foundation for VINCUE. Within two weeks, more than 100 dealers had signed on, and those stores are going live now. Today we’re announcing Wave 2 for the next 300 dealers who want to put AI to work across their inventory before their competitors do.

WHY DEALERS ARE MOVING NOW

Protos is the Greek word for first. VINCUE Protos is the first source of truth platform in automotive architected for AI from the ground up. Not a chatbot bolted onto the side. Not a widget. Every signal in your store feeds AI that’s truly integrated, not added on.

That means you can talk to your inventory the way you’d talk to your sharpest manager. Ask why a unit is aging. Push back on an appraisal. Compare your staff’s performance and get coaching recommendations for each person. Debate your data and get an answer grounded in your judgment, your playbook, your store’s performance.

VINCUE Protos gets smarter, faster, and better with every vehicle you plan, buy, manage, and sell. The operators who are taking advantage of the AI era now are the ones who will take and keep the lead.

WHO WAVE 2 IS FOR

Wave 2 is now open for the next 300 dealers with exclusive pricing for dealers who are new to VINCUE, and for current VINCUE dealers looking to upgrade to Protos Intelligence.

Current VINCUE customers. Upgrading is easy. You keep everything you rely on in VINCUE today and gain everything Protos Intelligence has to offer, along with a faster, easier platform across the board.

Dealers new to VINCUE. Get to the front of the line and put everything Protos Intelligence offers to work from day one.

BE FIRST IN LINE

The sooner you sign, the sooner we start onboarding. Sign before the end of the year and you’ll be live before NADA, or sooner. Current VINCUE customers can reach out to their account manager to get in line. New dealers can book a Protos demo. The dealers who start first finish first.

Our Dealers Can’t Stay Quiet on Google

Launched VINCUE a couple months ago for our dealership as we were previously on vAuto. We love the pricing, software, and the support team is engaging with a lot of new features coming. It was a GREAT decision to switch from vAuto to VINCUE and we are very happy with the new software and support team.

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.

Was previously with another provider for 16 years but now have been with VINCUE for 6 months and I absolutely love it and would never go back to my old provider. Even if you’re not considering making any changes right now, this is one I would look into and you won’t regret it! What I realized is how behind the times my previous provider is and I didn’t even realize it until I learned about VINCUE!
