TireTutor today unveiled its latest product, a point-of-sale system embedded within its e-commerce and CRM platform.
“This addition transforms TireTutor’s platform into a complete shop management system (SMS),” say TireTutor officials.
“The software eliminates the need to spend tens of thousands of dollars using multiple software vendors and it saves dealers an estimated 16 minutes of time per customer.”
“Our latest product release shows the level of innovation we’re investing in here at TireTutor,” says Jason Abrahams, the CEO and founder of TireTutor.
“Using TireTutor allows dealers to spend more time with their customers and less time on unnecessary busywork.”
TireTutor’s Shop Management System includes features, such as an online tire catalog with programmatic tire inventory and pricing; an integrated auto repair scheduler with two-way calendar sync; pre-payment functionality automatic appointment reminders; and consumer reviews.
“Because the level of integration of the TireTutor SMS is entirely seamless among online, in-store and supply chain operations, dealers spend less time on manual data entry, no longer double-book their bays and can easily track a lead through to a completed work order."
“We believe this level of integration and automation is the biggest benefit of using TireTutor,” says Paul Wanless, head of products for the Boston, Mass.-based company.
“The CRM, supply chain features and point-of-sale (function) all talk to each other and operate in concert because we built this as a single, unified system out of the box.”
In addition to the integrations within the products themselves, the TireTutor Shop Management System integrates with “most major tire suppliers, allowing dealers to search for tires and order from any partner distributor within the SMS,” according to TireTutor officials.
“This quick searching and ordering allows dealers to operate their entire business out of a single tab on their computer, saving time and hassle.
“For tire sales, TireTutor’s SMS will programmatically apply the dealer’s desired margin to the tires and base the tire price off of current market rates and algorithmic supply chain logic, ensuring dealers always maximize their profits.”
