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.

Making the Most of Your Tire Power Software – Column Sorting in ‘View Today’s Activities’

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

The ‘View Today’s Activities’ window is the primary method of managing your day-to-day customer transactions.  It gives you easy access to all Quotes, open Work Orders, current Website Orders, today’s Invoices, and today’s Payments.  This window is the most used window in the software, so because of that fact, we are constantly trying to make the window better and more efficient.  A new bonus feature on this window is the ability to now sort by the column header.  For example, during a busy day, you may have many open work orders pile up under the ‘Work Orders’ tab.  When the list grows too long, this makes finding a specific customer’s open work order difficult.  Now, simply double-click on the column header ‘Customer’ to sort by the customer’s name.  Your customers are now sorted by name, so this makes finding the customer’s name a snap.  Give this tip a try the next time you need to find a customer’s transaction quickly, so you too can make the most of your Tire Power software.  Stay tuned for more tips.
