TCS Technologies announces its new cloud-based TreadTracks™ retread plant management system will be on display at the upcoming ITEC 2012 Show, September 18-20 in Cleveland, OH. The system, which manages the retread process from the time the tire is picked up through the finished delivery, is an enterprise grade system handling operations from 1 to 100+ locations and gives unprecedented visibility as to how to most efficiently manage your retread plant.

Black’s Tire & Auto Service, a 32-location tire and full service auto shop in North and South Carolina raised $70,092 for Boys & Girls Homes of North Carolina.

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…

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.

We were pleased to notice TIREMAX, a multi-store chain based out of Conroe, TX, and a long time Tire Power Software user, were featured in a very nice article in the March 10^th issue of the TireBusiness.Com on-line publication.  TIREMAX has now begun franchising its retail concept across the nation, so their expansion efforts were highlighted in this article.  Good job TIREMAX, and congratulations from all of us here at TCS.  Follow the link below for the full article…

As software developers, our job is to design and build applications which are easy to use, work reliably, adhere to industry standards and are intuitive to use.  In the Tire Power suite we try our best to keep it simple!  But it is not always easy to make clear all the choices available for the end-user.  This is why we work so hard on creating great documentation!  No matter where you are in Tire Power just click the F1 key to get context-sensitive help.
