Success Story: Coast Tire Print
 Coast Tire & Auto Service has been serving retail, commercial
and wholesale customers since 1984. As the only ISO-certifi ed
tire dealer in their region,  Today, they operate
more than 25 locations across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
Prince Edward Island.   

Situation

 As a multiple location independent tire dealer and service center,
Coast Tire & Auto Service was in need of a comprehensive business intelligence system that offered remarkable time savings. They
had experience with ASA Tire Systems products, and wanted a product that integrated seamlessly with their current TireMax® system.

With a focus on quality, Coast Tire & Auto Service needed a system that would install easily, show immediate results, and eliminate the need for custom programming. Coast needed a system that offers many different ways to analyze comparative information quickly and provides reports “ready to present.” With an eye on the future, Coast Tire & Auto Service wanted a system that would help solve inventory issues, streamline financial statement reporting, and allow them to spend more time analyzing their data and less time compiling it.

 

Solution

Coast Tire and Auto Service worked with Top Dog Solutions Inc. to install its business intelligence software Analytix. Today, Coast uses ASA’s TireMax® Software with Top Dog's Analytix program to mine their business data and use the information to help increase profits and productivity.

For Coast, Top Dog’s Analytix application offers two primary benefits. First, they utilize Analytix as a business intelligence tool. With Analytix, they have instant access to up-to-date and easily accessible executive views of how their business is doing. More importantly, they can quickly spot problem areas, and then drill down to the source of any trouble. Coast can spot changes and trends, and compare locations to see why one is performing better than another is.

Second, they are saving valuable time. With Analytix, Coast Tire & Auto Service no longer has to sacrifice their time through hard copies of reports, processing data through m database programs, and manually combining table information merely to get a useful report.

Ken Deveau, Sales Business Analyst, said, “Analytix is an awesome tool! By adding it to my TireMax® System, I am able to spend more time analyzing my data, and have more information at my disposal. Before Analytix, analyzing sales and margin issues by store, customer or product category was tedious and time consuming.“

And it doesn’t end there, with Analytix Coast Tire & Auto Service has a comprehensive tool to analyze and process much needed reports; saving them time and helping to increase profits and productivity.
