One of the things which set an efficient “Super User” apart from an average user of Tire Power software is knowing your software’s windows and features.  Being able to quickly find pertinent information on the window makes your job easier and helps you serve the customer better.  For example, if a user is on the ‘View Customer History’ window, and wishes to see which mechanic was assigned to a particular job on a particular invoice, you can find it very quickly if you take the time to learn your software’s windows.

Inside the ‘View Customer History’ window, find the customer’s invoice which has the service you need to find the mechanic for.  Click on the invoice to highlight it, which will then bring up the contents of the invoice in the detail window at the bottom of the screen.

Are you making the most of your Tire Power software?  Keeping abreast of new or not so obvious features can enhance your experience with the software, and make you and your employees more efficient.  In this continuing series of blogs, we will shine the spotlight on these features in order to help all our users make the most of their software.

A new feature we have recently added in Tire Power is the ability to sort the list of vehicles assigned to a customer on the ‘Search Customers’ window.  On this window, once the customer is selected on the left of the screen, the vehicles assigned to this customer are listed to the right.

Typically, if the customer only has a few vehicles assigned to them, it is not a big deal to see the desired vehicle and then select it to ...[more]

One of the things we at Tire Company Solutions really want for our customers is for them to get the full experience, or ‘power’ if you will, from their Tire Power software.  As I mentioned in my last blog, it can be fun discovering and using some of the lesser known features in the software.  With that in mind, here is an overlooked feature, this time for you accounting people.

A widely used and very powerful feature in Tire Power is the ‘Query’ option available on all history windows.  This feature is especially useful in the accounting areas of Tire Power.  It is inside one of these account history windows where you will find this hidden gem of a feature which really is a complement to the query feature.  In Office Manager, go to the View | Accounts section where you would normally find your GL accounts.  Pick an account, and go to its history.

One of the fun things about using Tire Power is finding and using some of the nifty little features in the software which are not always readily apparent to the normal user.  Often times these features can enhance your experience with the software, and make you more efficient in your day to day job.  From time to time, I will try to point out some of these lesser known features so you too can make the most of your Tire Power software.

One of the things Tire Power does really well is tracking non-stock or “special order” inventory.  More times than not, these items tend to be parts, but certainly are not restricted only to that.  One of the issues I have heard time and time again, especially from new users, is under their old software or paper invoice system they did not have an easy way to look up where they purchased non-stock parts from.  This is an issue in case they have a warranty problem or just need to reorde ...[more]
