RockED, which is an employee development program for the auto industry, has teamed up with VINCUE to launch the Inventory Management Industry Certification program.

The program will be available through the RockED app and presented by VINCUE, which is an end-to-end inventory lifecycle management and market pricing platform for car dealers.

It will provide structured training and strategies encompassing the whole vehicle lifecycle and include industry data and real-world applications.

The certification will focus on inventory planning, acquisition, management and sales. VINCUE and RockED will provide annual updates to the certification to account for new trends and the latest data.

“The best practices behind great inventory performance shouldn’t be kept inside a handful of top dealerships,” VINCUE chief marketing officer Michael Hopkins said in a news release. “This certification helps make the standards used by elite operators accessible to the entire industry, because when more dealers get better, the industry gets stronger.”

RockED co-founder and CEO Matthias Stover added, “Inventory management is an important area of dealership operations that often varies across dealerships. By completing this certification, teams gain a consistent foundation and the confidence to make better, more informed decisions.”
