A POS system for a tire shop is much more than a regular cash register. In the tire industry, you don't just handle simple product sales – you work with composite orders that include tires, rims, mounting, balancing, and possibly tire hotel services. The POS system must handle all of this seamlessly.
Industry understanding in the POS
The most important difference between a general POS system and one built for the tire industry is the industry understanding. A good POS system for tire shops knows that a tire sale often involves multiple line items: the tire itself, mounting, balancing, valves, and possible TPMS programming. All of this should be addable quickly and efficiently.
Inventory management tied to the POS
Inventory management is closely tied to the POS system. When you sell a set of tires, the inventory should update automatically. You should also be able to see stock status in real-time, check if the item is available at a wholesaler, and possibly order directly from the POS system.
Payment flexibility
Payment flexibility is important. Your customers pay by card, cash, or may want financing. A modern POS system for tire shops supports all common payment methods and connects easily to payment terminals.
Receipts and documentation
Receipts and documentation keep your finances in order. The POS system should generate detailed receipts, support invoicing, and transfer data directly to your accounting system – whether it's Visma eAccounting, Visma Business, Unimicro, or 24SevenOffice.
Customer history and reports
Customer history gives you an overview of what each customer has purchased, when they last changed tires, and whether they have tires in storage. This is valuable information both for customer service and for upselling.
Reports and insights help you make better decisions. With a good POS system, you get access to daily reports, monthly reports, sales results, and graphs showing the development of your store.
