TCS Signs as First Subscription to TIA’s TPMS Database

Friday, November 18th, 2011

Bowie, MD– The Tire Industry Association (TIA) announced today that TCS Technologies has signed the first subscription to the Association’s newly created TPMS Database. The Database incorporates all of the information in TIA’s highly successful TPMS Relearn Chart into a file that can be linked with point-of-sale (POS) software so the TPMS requirements for each specific make and model can be printed directly on the work order.

“The TPMS Database was created to give retailers another option for handling the TPMS relearn and service requirements for domestic and import vehicles,” said Kevin Rohlwing, TIA Senior Vice President of Training. “By creating a data file of the TPMS Relearn Chart, we are now able to provide this valuable information in multiple formats so we can meet the needs of any size retailer. TCS was the first software provider to approach us after the release during the Global Tire Expo (GTE) and we are proud to announce that they are the first company to recognize the value of this product.”

“We are excited to be the first company to offer TIA’s TPMS Database, remarked Barry Reese, TCS President. Our POS software applications already provide retailers with tire reference information and technical data specs, so TIA’s TPMS information was a natural extension of these features. The partnership with TIA allows our customers to access the TPMS relearn and service requirements for the most popular domestic and import vehicles by simply entering the year, make and model.”

For more information on TIA’s TPMS Database or the TPMS Relearn Chart, contact Chris Marnett, TIA Director of Training at 800-876-8372, ext. 106 or cmarnett@tireindustry.org.

TCS ADDS CARFAX QUICKVIN TO TIRE POWER

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

COOKEVILLE, Tn. (October 28, 2010) – TCS, software and technology provider for the tire and automotive industry, has upgraded its Tire Power and Tire Core point of sale systems to include Carfax QuickVIN. Users now can retrieve the year/make/model and vehicle identification number (VIN) of their customers’ cars by entering only the license plate information. The new QuickVIN tool is available to all current customers within the latest versions of the software.

“What a luxury to quickly get all the specific vehicle data with only a license plate number,” says Jamie Schwoerer of Don Owen Tire Service Inc. in Illinois.  “We don’t need expensive scanners or have to take additional time running back and forth to cars to get the data.  Tire Power with Carfax QuickVIN reduces the time it takes for us to build a work order and gets our customers out the door quicker. It also reduces the troublesome task of managing parts returns due to incorrect ordering, saving us tons of office time as well. It’s proven to be a truly valuable enhancement.”

Eight out of ten SMS users would prefer to have Carfax QuickVIN available with their current system, according to a recent independent study. Users can eliminate the risk of costly data entry errors and help ensure they order correctly-fitting parts. TCS is one of the first providers to include Carfax QuickVIN with their software and was a valuable partner in the development of QuickVIN.

“The Carfax QuickVIN integration is another powerful tool TCS is providing its software users to help them grow and succeed through their technology,” says Barry Reese, President of TCS. “Speed, efficiency, and superior customer service are vital to maintain and grow your tire and auto service center in today’s market and QuickVIN delivers on all of these.”

Tire Power subscribers using Carfax QuickVIN also have their service records turned into free advertising on Carfax Vehicle History Reports. Shop name and contact information appears alongside each service record on the Carfax Report, reaching millions of potential customers that use Carfax.

Attendees of the 2010 SEMA/Global Tire Expo in Las Vegas are encouraged to visit TCS at Booth #42167. Representatives will be demonstrating the latest version of Tire Power with Carfax QuickVIN Nov. 1 – 5.
