Client case Toyota van Gent
Toyota van Gent operates five locations and manages a used car inventory of around 400 vehicles. As inventory grew, manually monitoring pricing and stock strategy for every vehicle became increasingly difficult.
“Previously, we reviewed cars on a sample basis,” explains Sander van Delen. “With 400 cars, that simply isn’t workable anymore.”
Toyota van Gent works with the data and software of JP.cars.
A key requirement for Toyota van Gent was the ability to define its own pricing position. “We’re a well-known name in this region. We don’t have to be the cheapest,” says Sander. “The strength of JP.cars is that you can set your own protocol. You decide how you want to position yourself in the market and which competitors you compare against.”
This allows Toyota van Gent to avoid unnecessary price competition while staying aligned with market demand.
JP.cars is used daily to monitor stock days and pricing. Rather than reacting late with multiple price changes, the team can intervene earlier based on market data.
“The result is measurable,” Sander explains. “Turnover increases, while the number of price adjustments goes down. That means we sell more cars and set better prices upfront.”
Reducing the number of price changes is an important outcome for Toyota van Gent. It indicates stronger pricing confidence and better initial positioning. “You notice that directly in the margin,” says Sander. “Of course, market conditions always play a role, but with JP.cars we clearly see the difference.”
As inventory volumes continue to grow, JP.cars plays an increasingly central role in daily operations. “We’ll only need real-time market data more as we scale,” Sander concludes. “The software is already indispensable in my daily work.”
“The results are measurable. Turnover increases and the number of price adjustments goes down.”
