Making the Most of Your Tire Power Software – An Easy Search for the Hard to Find Customer

March 22nd, 2010

As Tire Power users, we all have done it.  We need to enter a customer transaction, only to not be able to find the customer’s name.  We think they are in there, but why can’t we find their name?  Is the name in the database misspelled, an extra space inserted, or does it have an extra letter which is making the search not work correctly?  This can be frustrating and a little embarrassing, especially if the customer is right in front of you.  Over the years I have heard and seen some pretty good tips to help you find that customer, such as using a phone number look up, or first name look up, but one of the most underused and powerful searches you can use to find an elusive customer in your database is the % sign lookup.

Let’s say I am in Front Counter searching for the customer, ‘Weaver Autobody’.  The quickest way to search is to enter in “weav” in the ‘Last Name’ field.  In this case, I do get some results, just not the one I need.  I am fairly cer ...[more]

Don’t delay in fixing errors

March 10th, 2010

Our Tire Power software has tremendous reporting capabilities and hopefully you are taking advantage of those features.  Remember, after running the reports and financial statements, it is very important to examine them for any discrepancies.  If you have any questions about how the numbers are calculated, or think the numbers don’t correlate with some of your other figures, give us a call. If errors were made during the day, week or month, it’s easier to fix them sooner rather than later.  The longer errors go without being addressed, the more potential to cause further and sometimes bigger problems. Remember, your TCS Support Team is here to help!

Use Tire Power Software to See the Big Picture

March 3rd, 2010

Most business owners are great at casting a vision or seeing the big picture. This is a great asset to their company as it gives their employees direction and motivation. So how does Tire Power Software play into the big picture? Or maybe a better question is, how do you get to the big picture? The answer…one report at a time.  Many Tire Power Software customers have yet to realize the full potential of the software. I have talked with several customers recently who have said, the more they use the software, the more they find it will do for them.  They feel it will enable them to be more efficient and improve their bottom line.

So what are these tools inside of Tire Power Software? Let me just cover one for now (only because it is a BIG one). Tire Power has a vast and extensive reporting system. Let’s take the ‘Accounting’ tab for example; there are currently 28 reports on that single tab. Almost all of these reports have filters which allow th ...[more]

TCS Customer Interviewed for Modern Tire Dealer Article

February 24th, 2010

I wanted to throw out a quick mention regarding an article in February’s edition of Modern Tire Dealer.  Roger Porter of Porter’s Tire Stores, a growing 4 store chain in east Tennessee, and one of our very own Tire Power users, was interviewed in an article regarding his views of the use of software in today’s modern tire dealership and what is the most important functionality provided by the software.  Here is some of what he had to say…. “With multiple stores, you need “the ability to track what goes on at each store,” says Porter. “Even from my home, I can log on and monitor exactly what’s going on.  It’s a system of checks and balances that begins with the point of sale.”  It is great to see one of our customers gain the recognition they deserve from the industry, and to get a chance for us here at TCS to see the positive impact our product has on someone’s business.  For more of Roger’s comments, and for the full article, follow this link̷ ...[more]
