Tire Management Features
Protractor has many features that are specific to Tire Management. These features are important to tire shops as they cater to their specific needs
that are outside of a typical auto repair and service shop. However, these features are often used by typical auto repair and service shops as more
of them offer complete services which also includes tires.
Tire Size, Manufacturer, Code and Description Fields on Inventory Cards
Protractor's inventory management system includes the necessary fields to organize, describe and filter inventory lists and searches. This allows you to
quickly find tires by size, manufacturer, specifications, model, rating, and any other custom coding your needs require. You can even combine the above mentioned
parameters to filter your lists and searches to very specific items. You can also sort any list or search by any of the inventory fields.
Price Lists
Protractor can electronically install and update your tire price lists so you always have access to the latest list of tires for each manufacturer that you sell.
The price lists can be used to build your local inventory file and can be searched directly from the work order just like your stocking inventory.
Estimates
Protractor's quick estimate feature allows you to make quick phone quotes for tires and save them for future retrieval. You can easily save estimates to existing
customers or to potential customers. If they call back, you can quickly retrieve the estimate and convert it to a work order.
Templates
You can further enhance the quick estimate system by building templates for services you quote frequently. This allows you to start an estimate using a template
to further automate the estimating process. If you quote a specific job like, Install and Balance 4 Tires, often enough you can make that template the default
template for all estimates.
