Setting up Tire Estimator

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

If selling tires is your job, then ‘Tire Estimator’ is the tool for you! ‘Tire Estimator’ was developed to allow the user to quickly scroll through data and check package pricing for tires without having to jump in and out of a quote for each price.

In Tire Power’s Front Counter, go to ‘Search Inventory’ and search for a tire. Then on the toolbar click the ‘Tire Estimator’ button and you will see the total “4 and out-the-door” package price for the tires. From inside ‘Tire Estimator’ you can also change the quantity, price class, tax group and included package to alter the price. So at this point you are thinking “ok this is nice”, but wait there is more! This window is designed like a toolbar, so you have the ability to go back to the search window in the background and select another tire without closing the ‘Tire Estimator’ window. This is a big time saver! Just move the ‘Tire Estimator’ window off to the side and continue searching inventory. Each time you select a tire, ‘Tire Estimator’ updates!

‘Tire Estimator’ also has default settings for each store to customize what it displays. To setup  ‘Tire Estimator’, go to Office Manager > File > Store Customization > General > Tire Estimator side-tab. Select the default for the Tax Group, Price Class and Package then click ‘Close’. Now you know, so sell more tires…

Making the Most of Your Tire Power Software – Know Your ‘Search Inventory’ Window

Friday, June 11th, 2010

One of the most commonly used windows, and most powerful in Tire Power, is the ‘Search Inventory’ window.  But do you truly know all of the things this window can do for you?  Did you know you can…

  • Sort any column, or columns, by simply double-clicking on the column name
  • Move the order of the columns by using the ‘Move Column’ feature
  • View available product images by clicking on the camera icon
  • You can click on any price level on the right which will update all prices displayed in the price column
  • When you highlight any item, its specifications will display over at the bottom right of the window
  • For multi-site customers, under the ‘Availability’ section, you can see in real-time your other stores current on-hand inventory
  • For PartnersXD® users, inventory from any source, including your wholesaler, is displayed in the ‘Availability’ section, in real-time
  • Print your inventory reports right from the window, and best of all, you can print in the order you have sorted your search results
  • Use the ‘Item History’ button to easily view all activity for the selected item
  • Use ‘Tire Estimator’ to quickly quote a “4 and out the door” price for tires

…and TCS is still not done.  We have plans for new features and many more additions.  So when you get a chance, take a fresh look at your software, especially the ‘Search Inventory’ window, and make the most of your software.
