Stock the right new cars for your market.
GP Inventory Solutions helps Stellantis and Ford dealers buy the new vehicles their market actually wants, so you sell what you stock and keep flooring costs in check.
Normal supply. Higher carrying costs.
The wrong mix is expensive now.
Inventory is back to historical norms while floor-plan costs sit well above pre-2020 levels and are not easing. That combination punishes dealers who order the wrong cars. Here is what it costs to hold the wrong metal.
The brands we focus on carry the most bleed

What is the wrong stock costing you?
Adjust the inputs to your store. This estimates your floor-plan interest and what right-sizing the lot to the correct mix could save. Defaults are pre-filled with industry figures, so you get a number in seconds.
Assumption: all-in holding cost of $33 per unit per day (floor-plan interest, depreciation, insurance, opportunity cost), an industry estimate. "Right-size opportunity" is the share of units you could avoid carrying by stocking the correct mix for your market.

Book a Market Assessment and get a read on your demand, your mix, and your floor-plan exposure.
The scope of work, tied to your numbers.
Four ways to engage, from a one-time diagnostic to ongoing advisory. Every deliverable lands on the KPIs your GM, GSM, and controller already watch: days supply, turn, aging, and floor-plan cost.
Market Stocking Assessment
The entry point. A clear read on what your local market actually buys versus what is sitting on your lot today, and the order to fix it. We start with a diagnostic, not a pitch.
- Local demand analysis by segment, trim, and price band
- Current mix vs. demand gap report, with aging overlay
- A 60-day order recommendation you can act on
New-Car Order Strategy
Ongoing guidance on exactly what to order, cycle after cycle, so you stock what your market buys instead of what the allocation system happens to push.
- Model, trim, drivetrain, and color order plan
- Allocation strategy to improve turn-and-earn standing
- Monthly order-cycle review against demand shifts
Floor Plan Health Review
Find the carrying cost hiding in an over-stocked, mis-aged lot, then right-size it. Built for the owner and controller who feel the floor-plan bill.
- Days-supply and aging-bucket audit
- Carrying-cost and curtailment exposure breakdown
- A right-sizing plan with a target day supply
Ongoing Advisory
Stay on the numbers between order cycles, month after month. Implementation and reinforcement, not a training day that fades.
- A one-page monthly stocking scorecard
- Order-cycle calls with your GM and GSM
- Quarterly on-site review and reset
Diagnostic first. Then we install it.
A typical first engagement, start to a lot that turns. Timelines flex to your order cadence and store size.
Diagnose
Baseline local demand, current mix, days supply, and floor-plan exposure. You get the numbers before any recommendation.
Build the plan
The right makes, models, trims, drivetrains, and colors for your market, with a 60-day order recommendation.
Order the right mix
An allocation strategy that improves turn-and-earn and stops over-ordering the units that age fastest.
Track and reinforce
A stocking scorecard on days supply, turn, and aging, reviewed with your GM and GSM until the numbers hold.
Scope and pricing are set per store after the diagnostic. [Pricing detail, Greg to confirm.] All market figures are industry estimates, not guarantees.
What dealers ask before they start.
The honest version. If we cannot show you the number, we do not recommend the move.
Is this a software pitch?
No. We do not sell a dashboard and we take no software commission. We make the call on which new Stellantis and Ford vehicles to order for your market, then we are done. The tools tell you what is on your lot. We tell you what to order next.
Will it actually stick?
This is implementation, not a training day that fades. You get a monthly stocking scorecard, order-cycle calls with your GM and GSM, and a quarterly on-site review until the numbers hold. We stay on it between order cycles.
Will you prescribe before you understand my store?
Never. Every engagement starts with a diagnostic on your real inventory and floor-plan exposure, not a template. You see your demand, mix, days supply, and aging before any recommendation lands.
Does it pay for itself?
We anchor every recommendation to the daily holding bleed and your floor-plan cost. Aged units run an estimated $30 to $40 a day, all-in. Run your store through the stocking calculator for a first estimate, then we do it on your real numbers.
Tell us your store. We'll run the numbers.
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic on your real inventory and floor-plan exposure.
An expert who has run the desk.
GP Inventory Solutions is built on one idea: the dealer who orders the right new cars for their market sells what they stock and protects their floor plan. We live in Stellantis and Ford allocation, so the call we make matches what the factory will actually ship.
Greg Polkinghorne
From sales professional to General Sales Manager, my 21-year dealership career has been defined by driving high-volume growth through deep market analytics, CRM utilization, and internet lead management. Having worked my way up from the showroom floor to the GSM desk—with a heavy specialization in Stellantis operations—I've perfected the art of inventory optimization.
Today, I leverage that experience through independent consulting, helping dealers align their product mix, master allocation, reduce dealer trades, and maximize profitability.
Four pillars. No fluff.
New-car stocking specialist
Not used cars, not whole-store training, not a peer group. Hands-on new-vehicle ordering matched to one dealer's local market, the unclaimed lane.
Human judgment plus data
The software shows you what is on the lot. GP makes the call on what to order next, an expert reading the numbers, not a dashboard handing them to you.
Stellantis and Ford specialist
We live in CDJR and Ford allocation. Knowing each brand's turn-and-earn formula and incentive cycle is the difference between an order that ships and one that sits.
Floor-plan-profit framing
Every recommendation ties to the owner's P&L and the 2025 to 2026 cost pressure: lower days supply, faster turn, less aged-unit bleed.
The market this advisory was built for.
The conditions that make stocking discipline decisive in 2025 to 2026. All figures are industry estimates, sourced and dated, not guarantees.
Sources: Cox Automotive, Kelley Blue Book, Optimum Info / Harney Partners. Soft figures (per-day holding cost, gross fade) are advisory rules of thumb, presented as ranges, never guarantees.
We do not sell software. We make the call on which new Stellantis and Ford vehicles to order for your market, and we start with a diagnostic, not a pitch.
