  • You’ll have full access to an administrator backend to include any services and pricing along with the wheels you offer

 

What can the solution do?

  • You’ll have full control over the offerings that you’d like to display from a wide catalog of tires available
  • Wheels are populated based on your pricing strategy you create and what’s available from connected suppliers

 

Who has access to the solution?

  • Consumers will have access to a widget on your website where they’d input their vehicle details to search your offerings
  • As previously mentioned, your team will also have access to administrator portal which will have various features, such as setting up pricing, services and even reports on quotes/orders being generated

 

How does the wheels solution work?

  • Upon registering, TireConnect will make contact with your suppliers that we have access to, to establish a connection; this is how we’ll pull your cost, retail and/or MSRP that are available from your suppliers
  • Once the connection is established and what base you’d like to start with, you’ll then need to create a pricing strategy, if necessary
  • For any services involved with the wheels you offer, you’ll find a “Tire and Wheel Services” section to include as needed
  • Setup is complete once you’re satisfied with the services and pricing that is configured

 

How do I set wheel pricing?

Wheel Pricing Tutorial

  • Pricing can be configured per supplier, brand, model or even individual sizes and multiple strategies can be created within the setup
  • First, you’ll be able to create a label that can be added to easily identify each pricing strategy you create
  • You’ll then want to select the suppliers you’d like the strategy to apply to; a toggle for all suppliers is available and on by default, but can be turned off to select specific suppliers
  • The price section is where you’d create your matrix with low price and high price as the cost range
  • Amount type allows you to select a parameter you’d like to apply your markup by, whether it be percent or dollar amount
  • The value field is where the markup amount would be entered; when using percent, however, a dollar cap can be established with the min and max amount fields
  • Filters allows you to select specific wheel parameters that you’d like this matrix to apply to
  • Wheel selector provides you with a list of various brands and models in our database, that you’d like the price out; not all brands may be available through your suppliers

 

Where do I input services?

  • Services can be added by going into the tire and wheel services section
  • Once in this section, you’ll want to click on “new”
  • The description section is the basic details of the service you’re creating, including a name and description for the service
  • Applications for the service being created can be segmented by wheels or as a package with tires; you’ll have access to various filters that can be applied including items such as rim size
  • Prices can be configured based on a simple flat rate, specific differentiating parameters such as rim size, retail price of the wheel or the total quote itself
  • There are a few properties which will help with setting the service as required, preselected and “enabled” for visibility on the widget

 

Are there any records of the quotes/orders being generated?

  • There are various reports that can be accessed which will provide you individual data for each action taken, such as searches, quotes (also known as leads), actual purchases (orders) and supplier orders
  • To review any quotes that get generated, the online leads report will have all this data and filters you can apply to narrow down your search

 

Can I order wheels from my TireConnect solution?

  • TireConnect provides you with the ability to order wheels from your supplier we have connected, through the Wheels Procurement section in the admin portal
  • Simply search the vehicle, click on the supplier under the wheel you’d like to order, and add to cart
  • You’ll then be able to view any wheels added to your cart and submit the order to their respective suppliers
