HOUSTON — Tekmetric, an automotive repair technology company, has entered the tire retail market with its new offering, Tekmetric Tire Suite, an all-in-one shop management solution.
Tekmetric Tire Suite, an add-on to Tekmetric subscriptions, is designed to enhance efficiency for service advisors and technicians by seamlessly integrating tire management tasks within the Tekmetric software, the company said.
With the add-on, shops can send Department of Transportation (DOT) identification codes and access tire specifications without leaving the Tekmetric app.
"Tekmetric Tire Suite is a testament to our deep market insight and commitment to serving the specific needs of tire shops, reinforcing our strong product-market fit within the automotive sector," Taylor Fuqua, chief technology officer at Tekmetric, said.
"By expanding our platform with this tailored feature set, we empower tire shops and auto repair businesses to streamline their operations and elevate customer service. This development not only broadens our influence but also underscores our dedication to enhancing the efficiency and service quality of our clients' businesses."
The add-on brings new features and benefits for shop owners, including:
- DOT number automatic registration: Tire shops can register tire DOT identification numbers electronically and securely transmit them via Tiremetrix to the appropriate manufacturer;
- Error messaging: Tire Suite will automatically produce error messaging as needed, including tire recall warning and invalid DOT code warnings; and
- Tire fitment data: Users can access comprehensive tire specifications directly in the Repair Order (RO) sidebar for a specific vehicle, enabling reference to all compatible tires from inventory or parts as needed.
Tekmetric Tire Suite is available for $39 per month, per shop. Tekmetric offers cloud-based shop management solutions, including a shop management system, integrated payments, technology integrations and real-time data.
