One of the fun things about using Tire Power is finding and using some of the nifty little features in the software which are not always readily apparent to the normal user.  Often times these features can enhance your experience with the software, and make you more efficient in your day to day job.  From time to time, I will try to point out some of these lesser known features so you too can make the most of your Tire Power software.

Ok so I like tools…a lot! All kinds of tools! I grew up with a father who worked in a tool and die shop. He spent a lot of his time building tools for jobs. One thing I have learned from my father is having the right tool makes a huge difference in fixing the problem! Whether we are talking about power tools or software tools they are all tools which solve problems. In today’s world, your business can live and die by the tools it uses. So here are some of the great tools we find simple, useful and effective.

At TCS we make it vitally important that we keep our team and our clients up-to-date on industry news and business management practices. We have a stack 2 feet high of all the industry magazines like Tire Review that I am always resourcing.

As part of the website package each clients get a setup of email accounts.  You can create new account or manage the password and forwarding features using the Email Administration Site.  When your site was launched you received an email with the User Account Name and Password.  Use this information to login.
