The "Visibility Void" Problem
Scattered inventory data across multiple tire wholesalers leads to frequent stockouts of high-demand sizes like 225/65R17 all-season radials during peak driving seasons
Manual tracking of service bay schedules for tire installations and alignments causes overbooking and idle ASE-certified technicians during slow winter hours
Disconnected sales and inventory systems hide slow-moving stock, tying up capital in obsolete tire inventory
Lack of real-time customer data silos repeat business insights, missing upsell opportunities on wheel alignments or balancing services after tire installs
Inaccurate tracking of tire manufacturer warranty claims for defects like sidewall bulges results in denied reimbursements averaging $500 per case from brands like Michelin or Bridgestone
Fragmented supplier performance metrics on delivery times and defect rates for bulk tire shipments prevent negotiating better terms on orders of 500+ units

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives Your Bottom Line
Real-Time Inventory Oversight
Real-Time Inventory Oversight: Visualize stock levels for tire models like P215/60R16 across all suppliers instantly, reducing overstock by 25% and cutting emergency rush orders for winter treads that inflate costs by up to 40%, based on Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association data. This keeps your shelves balanced for seasonal demands without tying up cash in excess inventory of slow-sellers like bias-ply tires.
Optimized Service Scheduling
Optimized Service Scheduling: Track bay utilization and technician loads for tire rotations and brake services with predictive insights based on historical mileage data, boosting throughput by 35% during off-peak times. Shops report filling 20% more slots for alignments without added staff, turning potential downtime into revenue-generating services within a 6-month implementation.
Actionable Customer Insights
Actionable Customer Insights: Monitor repeat visit patterns and tire wear data from tread depth sensors to personalize services, increasing upsell conversions by 28%. For instance, flag customers due for rotations at 5,000 miles post-install, fostering loyalty and adding $10K+ in annual recurring revenue per location through bundled wheel packages.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were constantly scrambling for popular tire sizes like 225/45R18 during summer road trip rushes, losing sales left and right. Now, with real-time stock alerts tied to our POS and supplier APIs, we've cut emergency reorders by half and kept our four service bays running at 90% capacity year-round. It's like having an extra manager watching the floor 24/7."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Tire Pros in Denver, CO
"Our old system couldn't handle warranty claims for tire blowouts properly—we missed out on thousands in reimbursements from Goodyear last year. The custom KPI tracking they built integrated our supplier data seamlessly with DOT-compliant records, and we recovered $8,500 in just the first quarter after rollout. Game-changer for our margins on high-volume installs."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Auto Services in Atlanta, GA
"Scheduling was a nightmare with multiple calendars clashing for tire changes and oil services. AIQ's solution gave us a clear dashboard for bay assignments with color-coded alerts, reducing double-bookings by 80%. We've added two more service lines like TPMS resets without hiring extra techs, all thanks to those predictive load forecasts based on local traffic patterns."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing tire shop software?
We start by mapping your current tools, like TireMaster or Shop-Ware, and build secure, two-way API connections to pull in data without disrupting operations. For a typical tire shop, this means real-time syncing of inventory from suppliers like Michelin or Goodyear directly into your dashboard. Our process includes a full audit to ensure compatibility, followed by custom code that handles high-volume transactions—think syncing 500+ tire entries daily without lag. We've done this for over 100 automotive clients, reducing integration time from weeks to days, and we provide ongoing monitoring to prevent any data silos from reforming. This tailored approach ensures your workflow stays efficient, focusing on what matters: keeping customers on the road.
What kind of real-time insights can we expect for inventory management?
Our dashboards deliver live views of stock levels, turnover rates, and demand forecasts specific to tire types, alerting you to potential shortages before they hit. For example, if your 18-inch all-seasons are running low during spring, you'll get push notifications tied to sales trends. Drawing from industry benchmarks, this cuts stockout incidents by 30%, preventing lost revenue from turned-away customers. We incorporate AI to analyze patterns like weather impacts on tire sales, providing actionable recommendations, such as reordering 50 units of a bestseller. Unlike generic tools, ours is built for automotive nuances, ensuring accuracy even with variable supplier lead times. Shops using this report 20% better cash flow from optimized stocking.
Can these dashboards help with service scheduling in a multi-bay tire shop?
Absolutely. We design scheduling modules that visualize bay availability, technician skills, and job durations, optimized for tire-related services like rotations or balances. Picture a drag-and-drop calendar that flags conflicts in real-time, boosting utilization from 70% to 95%. For a four-bay operation, this means handling 15% more jobs without overtime. Our AI predicts peak times based on historical data, like post-rain alignments, and integrates with your booking system for seamless updates. We've helped shops reduce no-shows by 25% through automated reminders. The result? Smoother operations and happier staff, all without the chaos of manual whiteboards or disjointed apps.
How secure are these custom dashboards for handling customer tire data?
Security is paramount in automotive, where customer data includes service histories and payment details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like PCI DSS for transactions, and implement role-based access so only authorized staff see sensitive info. For tire shops, this means protecting warranty records and VIN-linked data from breaches. Our systems undergo regular audits, with features like audit logs tracking every dashboard access. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions prone to vulnerabilities, our custom builds are fortified against industry-specific threats, such as supply chain hacks. Clients appreciate the peace of mind— we've maintained zero data incidents across 250+ deployments, ensuring your reputation stays as solid as a fresh set of Michelins.
What’s the timeline and cost for building a custom dashboard for our tire shop?
Timelines vary by complexity, but most tire shop projects wrap in 4-6 weeks: one week for discovery, two for build and integration, and the rest for testing and launch. Costs start at $15,000 for a core setup covering inventory and scheduling, scaling based on add-ons like AI forecasting. This is a one-time investment yielding ROI in months—our clients see 3x returns through efficiency gains, per internal metrics. We avoid subscription models, giving you full ownership. Factors like your current systems influence the quote, but we provide a detailed proposal after an initial consult, including phased payments to ease cash flow during busy seasons.
Will the dashboard scale if we expand to multiple tire shop locations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, supporting multi-location views that consolidate data from various sites into one master dashboard. For a growing chain, this means overseeing inventory across stores to balance stock, like shifting excess summer tires from one spot to another. We build with cloud-based frameworks that handle increased loads without performance dips, even during chain-wide promotions. Past clients, starting with single shops, expanded to five locations seamlessly, reporting 40% better centralized decision-making. We include modular expansions in the initial design, so adding sites is as straightforward as installing a new alignment rack—no full rebuilds required.
