Additionally, TCS said it provides solutions for the entire automotive tire and wheel supply chain and offers a point-of-sale solution for tire and wheel dealers as well as for auto repair shops.
“We believe the combined entity will accelerate our growth and leadership position in this market for the foreseeable future,” Mr. Olivier added.
ARI said more than 20,000 automotive tire and wheel dealers depend on TCS's websites and software tools, which are enhanced by more than 750 wheel and tire wholesale distributor connections and eCatalog data for more than 50,000 wheels and 65,000 tires.
TCS will maintain normal operations out of its headquarters located in Cookeville, Tenn., under the continued leadership of Barry D. Reese, who will assume the role of vice president and general manager of TCS Technologies, an ARI company.
