Client case Wensink

Wensink cuts long standing stock to 10% by reviewing inventory every 14 days with JP.cars

Structural control over stock days across more than 40 dealerships

With more than 40 dealerships, Wensink manages a large and diverse used car stock across multiple brands. To keep this stock healthy and controllable, Wensink has relied on the software of JP.cars for several years. By structurally reviewing inventory every 14 days, the organisation works towards keeping long standing stock limited to just 10 percent.

Tailored protocols for every division

Wensink represents brands such as Kia, Ford and Mercedes, alongside additional brands and commercial vehicles. Each division operates differently and requires its own approach to pricing, purchasing and stock management. Together with JP.cars, Wensink developed customised protocols per division. These protocols allow the organisation to define its own pricing policy and margin strategy, while ensuring consistent execution across all locations.

“The software does not dictate our pricing or margins. We decide that ourselves. The protocols allow us to implement our strategy in the market,” says Wim Roseboom, Sales Director at Wensink.

From generalists to specialists

As inventory volumes increased, Wensink reassessed how its used car teams operated. Previously, teams handled valuations, purchasing and stock management collectively. At scale, this proved inefficient. By introducing structured protocols supported by JP.cars, Wensink moved towards greater specialisation. Team members now focus on specific responsibilities, supported by clear workflows and data driven insights.

Reviewing inventory every 14 days

JP.cars plays a central role in controlling stock days. Every vehicle is automatically flagged for review every 14 days by the responsible manager. This ensures that ageing stock receives continuous attention. Wensink applies a strict policy, as vehicles exceeding 150 stock days represent significant cost. The organisation aims to limit this group to 10 percent of total stock, compared to a much higher national average.

Managers record actions taken in the software, such as pricing adjustments or content updates. This creates transparency and control without micromanagement.
